Now you can use the answerbook that has helped thousands of companies slash their operating costs by eliminating wasteful inefficiencies in their boiler plants. The fully illustrated text brings you testing and flame evaluation techniques, steps for improving control of excess air flow, easy-to-follow boiler efficiency calculation methods, guidelines for optimizing boiler maintenance procedures, and a wealth of other useful details for improving combustion efficiency. The expanded and updated fourth edition includes chapters covering tuning of industrial boilers, as well as current approaches for NOx control. Also covered are techniques for improving steam distribution system efficiencies, strategies for reducing waste heat energy losses in stack gasses and expelled waste water, and an examination of specific boiler characteristics and components, including fuel types, firing methods and steam demands. Loaded with time-saving checklists, illustrations and case histories, this book will provide an invaluable resource for anyone involved in efforts to cut fuel consumption and improve steam generation system productivity.
