Energy Assessment for Steam Systems
This Standard covers steam systems that are defined as a system containing steam generator(s) or other steam source(s), a steam distribution network and end-use equipment. Cogeneration and power generation components may also be elements of the system (gas turbines,back pressure steam turbines, condensing steam turbines). If steam condensate is collected and returned, the condensate return subsystem is a part of the steam system. This Standard sets the requirements for preparing for,conducting, and reporting the results of a steam system energy assessment (hereafter referenced as an “assessment”) that considers the entire system, from energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these inputs.
