The information on the safe and efficient operation of high pressure boilers and related equipment is designed specifically for use in preparing to obtain a boiler operators license. Many of the illustrations are photographs from equipment makers, so are the very components that operators might be working with on the job. This second edition takes a systems approach to boiler operations, emphasizing the interactions of steam, feedwater, combustion, and draft systems. Other topics include steam system accessories, water treatment, fuels, and instrumentation and control systems. Sample questions are provided for six examinations, with answers in a removable section. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
