The content of Boiler Control Systems Engineering deals primarily with water tube boilers with Induced Draft (ID) and Forced Draft (FD) fan(s) or boilers with only a FD fan. However, the material can apply to any steam generator requiring the firing of fuel. The book addresses issues to be considered when defining measurement transmitters and specification for transmitters.
Characteristics and sizing of final control elements are reviewed. Engineering details on control systems and the setup of the various control functions are covered with specific examples of boiler control including configuration and tuning.
