Steam and
Hot Water Primer
by
Chris Langley,
Andrew Sacks
For the first time, novice and seasoned boiler personnel alike have
a resource designed just for them.
Steam and Hot Water Primer
is a comprehensive guide to boiler operation and stationary
engineering. Its purpose is to provide a fundamental understanding
of boiler operation and maintenance for beginners, to prepare
prospective licensing candidates for the boiler license exam, and to
serve as a “go-to” reference guide for operations and maintenance
personnel.
With coverage of topics that
other, similar books avoid – like maintenance and troubleshooting –
the authors have created an “all-in-one” resource that can be used
throughout the stages of a boiler operator’s career and that will
also develop highly knowledgeable, highly skilled operators,
prepared and ready for the 21st century.
Features:
- Coverage of both High and Low
pressure training sets this book apart from similar
texts, which typically hone in on one or the other
- Clear, straightforward
writing style facilitates comprehension and engages
readers
- Practical examples prepare
readers for situations they are likely to face in
the real world
- In-depth appendices include
steam tables and charts, conversions, gravity
tables, bolt patterns and sizes for common flanges,
and much more
