Smart Steam Trap Replacement | InteliTrap by Imperium Technologies

InteliTrap® Overview

InteliTrap: The First Self-Monitoring Steam Trap

The first fully integrated electro-mechanical steam trap, featuring a proactive monitoring system to identify, predict and address real-time performance issues – that goes way beyond steam trap performance to give you insights into your entire system.

Core functions:

Self-Powered or Wired

InteliTrap is completely self-powered through heat from the steam trap or easily powered from the included industrial 12 to 24V DC power system.

Intelligent Condensate Removal

Electronically senses and removes condensate based on real-time system conditions - no mechanical linkage or manual intervention.

Real-Time Monitoring & Diagnostics

Tracks water removal rates, pressure, temperature and valve duty cycle 24/7 to detect failures like blow-through, blockage or waterlogging.

Adaptive System Intelligence

Uses a microcontroller to detect and discharge condensate under any conditions- replacing 24+ trap models with one complete solution.

Proactive Failure Alerts

Within minutes, SteamView sends notifications of trap underperformance or deviation from normal operating behavior.

Simplified Installation

Wrench-only, plug-and-play design replaces legacy traps without rewiring or special infrastructure and cellular connectivity to multiple carriers removes internal IT connectivity concerns.

Cloud-Connected Insights

Integrates with SteamView to monitor trap performance, track trends and inform predictive maintenance decisions.

Communication & Integration

Industrial-Grade Connectivity, Built for Real-Time Awareness

InteliTrap isn't just a trap — it’s a fully networked connection point in your steam system. Designed for harsh industrial environments, it transmits critical data to the secure SteamView cloud platform without the need for external accessories, IT intervention or constant maintenance.

Industrial-Grade Durability

Built for tough steam environments, the industrial-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction thrives in high-pressure, high-temperature and corrosive conditions.

Embedded Connectivity

InteliTrap has built-in 5G multi-carrier connectivity, eliminating the need for external gateways or complex IT integration. It seamlessly connects right out of the box.

Autonomous Operation

No IT support or routine reconfiguration required - making InteliTrap ideal for resource-constrained teams. For systems below 70 psi, a 12 to 24 volt power supply is included.

Real-Time System Awareness

Acts as an intelligent client within the steam network, continuously monitoring and transmitting performance data to enable proactive system-wide visibility.

A Deep Dive Into InteliTrap

Built Different - A Category of Its Own

Unlike traditional mechanical traps or bolt-on, external sensors, InteliTrap is the first fully integrated, electro-mechanical smart trap — redefining what a steam trap can do.

InteliTrap + SteamView = Full System Visibility

InteliTrap seamlessly integrates with SteamView to provide real-time monitoring, alerts and diagnostics across your entire steam system.

The ROI of InteliTrap

InteliTrap delivers immediate return on investment by preventing the costly consequences of trap failures. Failed-open traps can waste fuel - up to $4,000 annually per trap. Even more costly are failed-closed traps, which often go undetected for extended periods and can lead to equipment damage exceeding $100,000 per year from a single trap.

Designed for Real-World Challenges

Constructed from high-quality stainless steel with self-powering or externally-powered options, Intelitrap thrives in harsh, high-pressure industrial environments.

10+ Year Lifespan

Built with high-quality stainless steel, high MTBF OEM components and minimal moving parts, InteliTrap is designed to operate reliably for over a decade.

Minimal Maintenance Required

With no external batteries, and only two moving components, InteliTrap dramatically reduces routine maintenance needs.

Self-Powered or External-Powered Options

InteliTrap can generate its own power by converting steam heat into electricity, eliminating the need for batteries or complex wiring. For sites that prefer it, external utility power connections are also supported.

Failure-Resistant Design

Its electro-mechanical system avoids the wear and tear of traditional mechanical traps, significantly lowering the risk of unexpected failures.

Compact, Durable Housing

The rugged high-quality stainless steel cast body and lid are engineered for long-term durability and fit seamlessly into existing piping configurations.

Wrench-Only Installation

Designed for ease of deployment, InteliTrap can be installed or replaced using standard procedures - no IT knowledge, special fittings or kits are required.

Serialized Asset Labeling

Each unit includes a unique serial number for simplified asset tracking, maintenance logging and system-wide visibility.

Power Supply & Management

Self-Powered and Utility-Ready: InteliTrap operates independently with built-in steam energy harvesting and optional external power — no external batteries required.

Reported Parameters

Real-Time System Data: Continuously monitors and reports condensate removal rate, pressure, temperature, duty cycle and system alarm status every 15 minutes.

Electronics and Control

Integrated Smart Control: InteliTrap features onboard sensors and a microcontroller that securely transmits performance data using encrypted, industrial-grade protocols. An external contact closure supports additional monitoring, while water sensors and meter readings expand remote visibility within the SteamView ecosystem.

Installation & Compatibility

Universal Plug-and-Play Fit: Designed as a single model for all steam systems, InteliTrap installs easily with standard tools and for applications up to 150 PSI.
