Written for the boiler operator who has knowledge and experience, but would like to learn more in order to optimize his performance, this text is also clearly-presented enough to be an indispensable guide for those beginning their careers, as well as being suitable for managers and superintendents interested in reducing a facility's operating expense. Based on the author's forty years of experience in boiler plant operation, design, construction, start-up, retrofit and maintenance, it contains absolutely key recommendations to operators and managers of plants large and small.
This book provides the information on boilers and the associated equipment, as used at sea, required by marine engineers taking the Steam Paper, Class Two, for the Department of Transport's Certificate of Competency for Marine Engineer Officers. Much of the information is given in the form of comprehensive answers to typical examination questions, with supporting diagrams that help the reader to understand and remember important machinery details. In this new edition the book has been updated throughout with new material on welded boilers, various types of water tube boiler, rotary air heater, water level alarm, consolidated type safety valve, hydraulic testing and various aspects of survey, maintenance and operational problems.
Boiler professionals require a strong command of both the theoretical and practical facets of water tube-boiler technology. From state-of-the-art boiler construction to mechanics of firing techniques, Boilers for Power and Process augments seasoned engineers' already-solid grasp of boiler fundamentals. A practical explanation of theory, it d
For designers and users, this British work treats combustion and heat transfer for the development of efficient and reliable boilers. Covers the evolution of steam and hot water boilers from their inception to the many variants now used in industry throughout the world. Safety, efficiency, and cost are discussed, as are auxilliaries, firing appliances, chimneys, controls, and instrumentation. Covers chemical and physical aspects of combustion, deposits and corrosions on combustion, and the chemical treatment of water used in steam and hot water boilers.

Following the publication of the author's first book, Boilers for Power and Process by CRC Press in 2009, several requests were made for a reference with even quicker access to information. Boilers: A Practical Reference is the result of those requests, providing a user-friendly encyclopedic format with more than 500 entries and nearly the same num
The popularity of the Boiler Operators Handbook has prompted the issue of this revised and completely updated edition, which examines the change of emphasis from coal-fired to oil- and gas-fired boilers. The new Boiler Operators Handbook will help the operator carry out his important work with skill and efficiency. The good management of a boiler plant should ensure the production of good quality steam in a safe and fuel-efficient manner to minimise air pollution. All these issues are emphasized throughout the new edition. The NIFES consulting group has been responsible for the training of boiler operators since 1954, and this high level of experience is combined with the very latest technological advances to make this new edition essential reading for the boiler operator.
The Book On Boiler Operation Under The Series Progress In Energy Auditing And Conservation Presents An Integral Approach To The Problems Of Energy Auditing In Boiler Based Industries. It Aims At Highlighting The Benefits Accruing From Conducting An Energy Audit And Lends A Degree Of Respectability In Implementing The Energy Conservation Measures As A Follow-Up Of That Exercise. The Underlying Philosophy Of The Book Is To Make A Convincing Case For Going In For Energy Saving By Generating A Sensitivity In The Users Towards This New Cult. The Ultimate Aim Is To Involve These Heavy Energy Consumers In The National Effort Of Conserving This Precious Asset. The Theme And The Style Of The Book Is Directed Towards Disseminating The Energy Conservation Culture In The Language Of The Users, So That In Times To Come They Consider It As A Commitment. In General The Book Is Expected To Be A Useful Reference For Users Of Boilers In Industries And A Valuable Asset To An Energy Manager.

A realization of recent clean energy initiatives, fluidized bed combustion (FBC) has quickly won industry preference due to its ability to burn materials as diverse as low-grade coals, biomass, and industrial and municipal waste. Fluidized Bed Combustion catalogs the fundamental physical and chemical processes required of bubbling fluidized beds before launching into application-centered coverage of hot-gas generator, incinerator, and boiler concepts and design, calculations for regime parameters and dimensions, and all aspects of FBC operation. It enumerates the environmental consequences of fluidized bed processes and proposes measures to reduce the formation of harmful emissions.
