Steam System Lab 

The Steam System Lab covers steam fundamentals and provides participants with a window into the elements of the plant steam cycle. Participants observe live stream and condensate behavior through glass piping and glass-bodied steam traps under differing conditions.  Participants will gain useful knowledge regarding steam generation, distribution, control & heat transfer, heat recovery opportunities, and condensate removal & return.
