Watson McDaniel Steam Traps: Reliable Solutions for Your Steam System

Our inventory includes a wide range of Watson McDaniel steam traps, each designed to ensure the smooth operation of your steam system. From thermodynamic traps to thermostatic traps and float & thermostatic traps, we offer a diverse selection to meet various applications and requirements.

• Thermodynamic Traps: These traps are simple and compact, featuring a single moving part. They are ideal for higher-pressure drip applications and critical tracing applications.
• Thermostatic Traps: With a heavy-duty, industrial-purpose welded stainless steel thermal element, these traps are suitable for a wide range of applications.
• Float and Thermostatic Steam Traps: These traps utilize a mechanical, float-operated valve and a thermal element for air removal. Quick to respond to load and pressure changes, they provide continuous discharge. These traps are primarily chosen for process applications but are also exceptional for drip applications up to 30 psig.
• Inverted Bucket Steam Traps: These are mechanical-style traps using an inverted bucket as a float device to control the plug and seat’s opening and closing. Though rugged and straightforward, they are not self-draining or self-priming, thus susceptible to rapid condition changes. These are ideal for drip applications on systems with heavy pipe scale and debris.
• Universal Style Steam Traps: Engineered to reduce replacement time and retrofit on other manufacturer connectors, these traps simplify trap selection and maintenance. They are proven effective in a variety of environments, including steam supply lines, tracing, and small process applications, making them versatile and accommodating for various steam applications.

We are proud to offer our own steam trap surveys and system audits—a proactive step in maintaining safe, reliable, and sustainable operations. Steam trap surveys are critical in detecting potential issues, and ensuring your systems run smoothly and efficiently. In this blog, we’ll talk about the importance of regular steam trap surveys and how they can contribute to efficient and sustainable operations.

Why Are Steam Trap Surveys and Audits Important?

Like any mechanical device, steam traps can malfunction. A faulty steam trap can open up safety hazards, lead to energy inefficiency, and result in costly repairs. For instance, a steam trap that fails closed prevents the removal of condensate, leading to water hammer that could damage equipment and pose a safety risk. On the other hand, a steam trap that fails open results in the loss of live steam, wasting energy and increasing operational costs.

This is where the importance of regular steam trap surveys and system audits comes into play. This service helps to identify malfunctioning steam traps, preventing safety hazards and unnecessary energy waste. By doing so, they contribute to the overall efficiency and sustainability of operations and can save a significant amount of money in the long run. There are several key benefits that directly impact your bottom line:

1. Cost Savings: By detecting and addressing issues such as plugged, leaking, or blowing steam traps, you can prevent lost energy and efficiency, leading to significant cost savings over time.
2. Energy Efficiency: Maintaining efficient steam traps is not just good for your budget; it’s also good for the planet. Efficient steam systems consume less energy, reducing your carbon footprint.
3. Sustainability: Efficient steam traps contribute to a more sustainable operation, reducing waste and promoting responsible use of resources.
4. Safety: Ensuring safe operations for employees is an integral part of steam trap surveys and system audits. By identifying potential hazards, we help maintain a safe working environment.

At Cooney Coil & Energy, our comprehensive surveys and audits not only identify issues but also provide recommendations for energy-saving opportunities and health & safety enhancements.
