Product Description
This resource helps reduce boiler operating costs through a detailed, comprehensive, and applicable explanation of all aspects of boiler processes. It presents the basics of boiler control, the interrelationships of the process characteristics, and the dynamics involved. The 2nd Edition places significant emphasis on startup, shut-down, flame monitoring, and safety interlock measures. Designed for professionals with a good understanding of boiler jargon, thermodynamics, control concepts, and math fundamentals. Contents: Basics and the Steaming Process Performance and Input-Output Control Loops and their Interconnections Combustion of Fuels, Excess Air, and Products of Combustion Efficiency Calculations Steam Supply and Firing Rate Demand Feedwater Supply and Control Boiler Draft Systems Furnace Draft and Combustion Air Flow Fluid Fuel Burners Solid Fuel Burners Burner Management and Flame Safety Interlocks Pulverized Coal and Cyclone Coal Burning Systems Combustion Control Atmospheric Fluidized-Bed Boilers Future Directions.

A Great Book January 25, 2008
R. J. Smith
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is great for the operator to understand more about the boiler control loops and what happens when he/she, for example places the burner tilts on Auto, etc. I've bought this book twice, it was so good someone stole my first copy.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone involved in operating a large boiler.

The intent of this book is to emphasize the basic ideas involved in boiler control. Boiler control is a broad subject that includes the total start-up and shutdown procedures, as well as safety interlocks and the on-line operation of the boiler.
This edition includes coverage of boiler basics, on-line operations, start-up, shutdown, flame monitoring, and safety interlock systems.
The book content is distributed the following way:
- Introduction.
- Boiler basics and the steaming process.
- Performance and input-output relationships.
- Basic control loops and their system interconection.
- Combustion of fuel, excess air, and products of combustion.
- Efficiency calculations.
- The steam supply system.
- Firing rate demand for industrial boiler.
- Firing rate demand for utility boilers.
- Main steam and reheat steam of temperature control.
- Boiler and unit interlocks.
- Feedwater supply and boiler water circulation systems.
- Feedwater control systems.
- Boiler draft systems.
- Measurement and control of furnace draft.
- Measurement and control of combustion air flow plus related functions.
- Fuel gas analysis trimming of combustion control systems.
- Fluid fuel burners for oil,gas, and coal.
- Solid fuel burning systems.
- Burner management and flame safety interlocks for gas and fluid-fired boilers.
- Combustion control for liquid and gaseous fuel boilers.
- Pulverized coal and cyclone coal burner ystems.
- Combustion control for cyclone and pulverized coal-fired boilers.
- Combustion control for stoker-fired boilers.
- Atmospheric fluidized-bed boilers.
- Control system complexity and future directions for boiler control.
This book will be a valuable reference for anyone involved with control and safety systems of boilers. I am an industrial practitioner that has been working for the last 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, Process Safety and Process Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. This book is always on my shelf, and has been useful many times during my career
General review for closed-loop control February 17, 2000
Gholam Bastami (Baden, Switzerland)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been a member of ISA since 1985 and joyfully read many publications from ISA. I find this book to be thorough, convincing and easy to understand, not only by the experienced Mechanical and Control System Engineers, but also by the new engineers and system designers. I sincerely look forward to the 3rd Edition.
