toward solving trap problems.
Energy coordinator
Selecting the right person as the. st cam-trap energy
coordinator is the key to the success or failure of an
effective steam-trap program. This person should be a
senior (at least five years of plant service) employee who
a keen interest in energy saving. A desire to leam is
more important than previous steam-trap experience.
Steam-trap manufacturers provide schools or seminars
on steam traps-types, failures, applications, etc-and aH
are anxious to teIl their stories. The local steam-trap
representative can arrange for attendance at such classes.
