BOILERS: Types, Characteristics, and Functions by Carl D. Shields Here is a comprehensive, practical engineering approach to boilers and their selection, application, and performance. It is intended to help all those involved in the specification, selection, installation, and operation of boilers.
The 32 detailed chapters have been organized within 6 major sections to provide complete coverage: 1. Boiler Classification - Boiler types, Steel firetube Steel watertube, Steel shell, Cast-iron, and Positive circulation boilers, Water heaters, Miscellaneous boilers. 2. Boiler Design - Boiler design principles, Furnace and fireside design, Circulation and waterside design, Blowdown and steam purification, Superheaters, reheaters, and attemperators, Economizers and air heaters. 3. Steam Generating Equipment - Packaged boilers, Central station steam generators, Topping stations, Nuclear power. 4. Boiler Construction - Steel boiler manufacture, Boiler erec-tion, Boiler settings, Firing equipment, Auxiliaries. 5. Industry Regulation Codes and standards, Boiler ratings, Boiler inspection. 6. Industry Status - Boiler performance, Boiler comparisons, Industry trends.
BOILERS cuts across several industries and fields of interest - heating, process steam, and electric power generation with unusual thoroughness. It will hold particular interest for stationary gineers, plant engineers, operators, , in. stallers, maintenance personnel, and buyers, sellers, and owners of boilers. Because the author has stressed fundamentals and minimized mathematics, the book will also be valuable to students, apprentices, mechanics, and others who might not have a complete engineering background. ...
