Pennsylvania State University produces steam through boilers and as the byproduct of the co-generation of steam and electricity. The normally saturated LPS distribution system experienced a temperature excursion causing damage to the existing piping network. The presentation shows the resulting damage and discusses the repairs and change to operation and design standards implemented to prevent damage or loss of service due to any future temperature excursions.
