Improving Steam System Performance: A Sourcebook for Industrywas developed under the BestPractices activity for the U. S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP). BestPractices undertook this project as a series of sourcebook publications. Other topics in this series include: compressed air systems, pumping systems, fan systems, process heating, and motor and drive systems. For more information about DOE’s BestPractices, see ITP and BestPractices in the Where to Find Help section of this publication. ITP, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Resource Dynamics Corporation wish to thank the staff at the many organizations that so generously assisted in the collection of data for this Sourcebook. The Alliance to Save Energy, the Council of Industrial Boiler Operators, the National Insulation Association, and the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association provided valuable assistance in developing, compiling, and reviewing this publication.  The BestPractices Steam activity appreciates the participation of the Steam Technical Subcommittee.Special thanks are extended to its co-chairs, Dr. Anthony Wright, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Glenn Hahn, Spirax Sarco, an Allied Partner, for providing extensive technical guidance and review throughout the preparation of this publication. The efforts of these program and committee participants are greatly appreciated.
