9、uidance document provides technical background and application details in support of the understanding and application of ASME EA-3, Energy Assessment for Steam Systems. This guidance document provides background and supporting information to assist in applying the standard. The guidance document co
10、vers such topics as the rationale for the technical requirements of the assessment standard; technical guidance, application notes, alternative approaches, tips, techniques, rules-of-thumb; and example results from fulfilling the requirements of the assessment standard. This guidance document was de
11、veloped to be used as an application guide on how to utilize ASME EA-3.ASME EA-3 provides a standardized framework for conducting an assessment of steam systems. A steam system is defined as a system containing steam generator(s) or other steam source(s), a steam distribution network, and end-use eq
12、uipment. Cogeneration and power generation components may also be elements of the system. If steam condensate is collected and returned, the condensate return subsystem is a part of the steam system. Assessments performed using the requirements set by ASME EA-3 involve collecting and analyzing syste
13、m design, operation, energy use, and perform-ance data, and identifying energy performance improvement opportunities for system optimization. These assessments may also include additional information, such as recommendations for improving resource utilization, reducing per unit production cost, redu
14、cing life cycle costs, and improving environmental performance of the assessed system(s). ASME EA-3 provides a common definition for what constitutes an assessment for both users and providers of assess-ment services. The objective is to provide clarity for these types of services that have been var
15、iously described as energy assessments, energy audits, energy surveys, and energy studies. In all cases, systems (energy-using logical groups of industrial equipment organized to perform a specific function) are analyzed through various techniques resulting in the identification, documentation, and
16、prioritization of performance improvement opportunities. This Guide is part of a portfolio of documents and other efforts designed to improve the energy efficiency of indus-trial facilities. Initially, assessment standards and guidance documents are being developed for compressed air, process heatin
17、g, pumping, and steam systems. Other related existing and planned efforts to improve the efficiency of industrial facilities include (a) ASME Assessment Standards, which set the requirements for conducting and reporting the results of compressed air, process heating, pumping, and steam assessments(b
18、) a certification program for each ASME assessment standard that recognizes certified practitioners as individuals who have demonstrated, via a professional qualifying exam, that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to apply the assessment standard properly(c) an energy management standard,
19、A Management System for Energy, ANSI/MSE 2000:2008, which is a stand-ardized approach to managing energy supply, demand, reliability, purchase, storage, use, and disposal and is used to control and reduce an organizations energy costs and energy-related environmental impactNOTE: ANSI/MSE 2000:2008 w

34、application guide on how to utilize ASME EA-3, Energy Assessment for Steam Systems. This guidance document provides background and supporting information to assist in applying the standard. 1.2 PurposeASME EA-3 sets the requirements that need to be performed during the assessment. ASME EA-3 was writ
35、ten in a form suitable for a standard, with concise text and without examples or explanations. This document was developed to be used in conjunction with the standard to give basic guidance on how to fulfill the requirements of the standard. This document is only a guide, it does not set any new req
36、uirements, and ASME EA-3 can be used with or without this document.2 definitionS assessment: activities undertaken to identify energy performance improvement opportunities in a steam system that consider all components and functions, from energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these in
37、puts. Individual components or subsystems need not be addressed with equal weight, but assessments shall be sufficiently comprehensive to identify the major energy efficiency opportunities for improving overall system energy perform-ance. System impact versus individual component characteristics sho
38、uld be discussed.assessment conditions: the operating conditions during the assessment period that serve as the basis of the measure-ments for the assessment investigations. baseline conditions: a set of operating conditions, and the associated system energy use, that the assessment team will use as
39、 a basis for calculating energy improvement opportunity impacts. Baseline conditions can, for example, be the assessment operating conditions, normal operating conditions, future operating conditions, or past operating conditions. Conservation of Energy (energy balance): the application of the princ
40、iple of conservation of energy as developed from the first law of thermodynamics is identified as an energy balance. Stated simply, the principle of conservation of energy is as follows: energy can neither be created nor destroyed by natural processes; it can only change form. An energy balance can
41、be applied to a single component, a composite subsystem, or an entire system.Conservation of Mass (mass balance): the application of the principle of conservation of mass as developed from the first law of thermodynamics is identified as a mass balance. Stated simply, the principle of conservation o
42、f mass is as follows: mass can neither be created nor destroyed by natural processes; it can only change form. A mass balance can be applied to a single component, a composite subsystem, or an entire system. efficiency: the general term used to describe the effectiveness of energy utilization in a c
43、omponent, a subsystem, or an entire system. Specific definitions are ascribed to the various applications of efficiency. A general identification of efficiency that satisfies most applications is the ratio of the useful energy output divided by the energy input. energy stream: a flow of material, he
44、at, and/or power crossing a boundary of a system. Common energy streams are electricity, fuel (e.g., natural gas, coal, process waste fuel), stack gas, steam, or water (including blowdown and condensate).ASME EA-3G20102field measurement: the evaluation of a system variable through the use of instrum
45、entation. Typical field measurements include temperature, pressure, and flow. First Law of Thermodynamics: the combined amount of mass and energy is neither created nor destroyed by natural processes; it can only change form. In other words, the amount of mass and energy in the universe remains cons
46、tant. In steam system applications it is almost always appropriate to separate the First Law of Thermodynamics into the principle of the Conservation of Mass and the principle of the Conservation of Energy. impact costs: the true economic influence of a commodity. Impact costs are commonly expressed
47、 in terms of an appli-cable unit of energy ($/106 Btu, for example) and accurately reflect the financial influence of a specific system opera-tional or equipment change. The manner of calculation of impact cost may vary, depending on a specific action considered.model: one or more equations expressi
48、ng conservation principles and other relationships that describe the characteris-tics of an energy system. The equation(s) may be solved manually (if sufficiently simple) or with computer simulation (computer model). normal operating conditions: a set of operating conditions when the equipment loadi
49、ng, system parameters, and proc-ess demands are reflective of typical or nominal conditions. operating conditions: those of a facility are the basic system characteristics, such as steam production, equipment load-ing, process demands, and many additional parameters. These conditions are both qualitative (e.g., type of boiler controls) and quantitative (e.g., boiler steam production level).steam system: 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 b
