Publisher's Synopsis
This is part of a 12-volume set. Volume B covers boilers and ancillary plant including boiler unit thermal and pressure parts design and dust extraction, draught systems and gas desulpherization.;The text reflects the cumulation of experience gained in the design, manufacture and operation of large coal- and oil-fired boilers in the last 20 years. The introduction of 500 MW boilers was not without its problems and this led to the analysis of boiler plant in all its aspects - combustion, furnace heat tranfer, the design of superheaters and reheaters operating in the creep range, boiler tube corrosion and its interaction with creep life, the control of slagging and fouling and the maintenance of boiler efficiency. This volume presents a review of modern practice in the design and operation of large boiler plant covering all aspects including the characteristics and selection of major auxiliaries and the control of gaseous and particulate emissions.
