Hands on Boiler and Auxs Operation and Maintenance

Various developments have taken place in the field of water treatment and boiler metallurgy, in the past few decades. The basic requirements of boiler operation and maintenance are optimal capacity, efficiency, safety, and high reliability in mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation aspects.


Hands on Boiler and Auxs Operation Maintenance deals with imparting basic knowledge about different type of boilers and auxiliary equipment—their design, erection, trouble diagnosis, and remedial action. The metallurgical requirements to attain high thermal efficiency in plants are elucidated.


Maintenance philosophy with regard to pressure parts, combustion systems, different auxiliary equipment, boiler metal loss, deposits or loss of efficiency, operating and maintenance problems are elaborated extensively.


This workbook will serve as a practically helpful reference to power plant engineers at all stages of their tasks.
