Boiler Control Systems Engineering is designed for anyone working with boilers, including utility managers, power plant managers, control systems engineers, maintenance technicians and operators. It primarily focuses on water-tube boilers with induced draft (ID) and forced draft (FD) fans, as well as those with only FD fans. The content can also be applied to any fuel-fired steam generator. Although other books on boiler control exist, they do not cover the detailed engineering aspects of control systems and the setup of various control functions. This book provides specific examples of boiler control, including configuration and tuning, valve sizing and transmitter specifications. This expanded and updated Second Edition features drum-level compensation equations, additional piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and examples of permissive start-up and tripping logic for gas, oil and coal-fired boilers. It also covers different control schemes for furnace draft management. NFPA 85 Code 2007 control system requirements are included, along with illustrated examples of coal-fired boilers and information on the latest ISA-77 standards.
