Comprehensive Text on Low Pressure Boiler Systems and Related Equipment

By Frederick M. Steingress & Daryl R. Walker - 3rd Edition

This industry-leading boiler operation text has been enhanced with new coverage of personal protective equipment, burner control systems, steam principles, and emission analysis and control. An expanded chapter on cooling systems covers refrigeration principles and equipment, chilled water systems, and refrigerant recovery procedures.

This full-color text is a must for operators of boiler systems used in hotels, apartment buildings, schools, and other large institutions. Boiler systems and related equipment are depicted in full-color illustrations complemented by concise text.

Low Pressure Boilers thoroughly covers all aspects of low pressure boilers, featuring ASME Code requirements, smoke-control procedures, boiler fittings, feedwater, steam, combustion, boiler operations, and water treatment. A separate chapter devoted to boiler licensing preparation includes sample questions with answers provided in the Appendix.

Each text contains a CD-ROM covering basic operation principles, interactive quiz questions, illustrated glossary, video clips, and web reference material.
