This volume covers the fundamentals of boiler systems and gathers hard-to-find facts and observations for designing, constructing and operating industrial power plants in the United States and overseas. It contains formulas and spreadsheets outlining combustion points of natural gas, oil and solid fuel beds. It also includes a boiler operator’s training guide, maintenance examples, and a checklist for troubleshooting.
“Much time was spent in researching data in the 35-plus years of my involvement in boiler house work. This text is a compilation of most of that data and information. The purpose of this book is to make the day-to-day boiler house work easier for the power engineer, the operators, and the maintenance people, by supplying a single source for hard-to-find information.
Nontechnical people with an interest in boiler house operation include plant management personnel, safety personnel, and supervisory personnel in government and industry. The technical material in this book, including the spreadsheet calculations and formulas, should be of interest to the boiler engineer, boiler designer, boiler operator, and the power engineering student.”
