Book Description

March 27, 1995
Here is your complete guide to the systems and equipment used for producing electrical power, steam, and utility functions such as heating, refrigeration, ventilation, and water for industrial facilities. The full scope of the various types of boiler plants, turbines, pumps, and cogenerating systems are examined, including design considerations, as well as optimum application of auxiliary equipment. The critical and sometimes competing factors which contribute to the overall success of an installation, such as energy efficiency, solid and gas emissions, overall cost effectiveness and performance, convenience of operation, and safety are put into clear perspective. Energy conservation measures specific to the steam plant including heat recovery, as well as overall plant energy management, are fully explored.
