Explain the functions of the components in the fuel and air systems.Describe the principles of combustion in a boiler furnace.

Explain why feedwater must be treated before it enters the boiler when given a description of the effects of corrosion and scale on boiler components.Explain how components such as economizers and preheaters conserve heat energy and maximize the efficiency of steam production while minimizing cost when given a description of the principles that govern efficient steam production and optimal use Of fuel.Explain the functions of the various components in a boiler when given their descriptions.Describe common applications for the different boiler types.Identify the basic types of boilers when given descriptions of common features of the boilers.Show the flow paths for inputs and outputs through the system when given a block diagram of a basic boiler.Explain how each system contributes to the production of steam when given a block diagram of a typical boiler.Describe the flow of water and energy when given a general description of a typical steam system.Define the following terms: enthalpy, sensible heat, latent heat, latent heat of vaporization, saturation temperature, superheating, critical pressure, British Thermal Unit (BTU), and steam quality.Give a description of a typical boiler and related system.The lesson provides a detailed overview of how steam is generated on the water side of the boiler as well as the fundamentals of combustion and how energy is converted in the boiler’s furnace. Basic boiler components and operations will also be covered. Prerequisites: This lesson is designed for participants familiar with process operations and industrial process control.ĭescription: This lesson focuses on the principles of operation of boiler systems and teaches the thermodynamic principles governing steam generation and heat transfer.
