Harry Taplin, P.E.

Price: $84.00

Completely revised and edited, this expert's guide to boilers details all you'll need to know to implement a proven, systematic approach to improving boiler plant and distribution system efficiency. For the second edition, a new "boiler plant orientation" chapter has been added to the beginning of the book to give you a fast overview of the key boiler plant optimization issues and solution approaches. The author then takes you step by step through each of the technical, practical and managerial aspects of boiler performance improvement, providing you with the tools you'll need to implement an effective, fine-tuned boiler optimization program for your facility. You'll learn the best methods for calculating and assessing efficiency, analyzing and optimizing combustion, selecting and applying appropriate controls, and optimally tuning up your boilers. You'll find in-depth coverage of such topics as fuel oil additives, modulation controls, automatic blowdown control, power burners, submerged combustion, fuel selection, oxygen, fuel gas measurement, multi-state gas valves, fuel oil viscosity management and more.
