Learn practical boiler and furnace testing you can use in real plants.
This guide explains simple, reliable ways to check efficiency and fuel use, with step‑by‑step methods you can actually perform.
Based on established testing practices, it shows how to measure coal use, water fed and evaporated, and steam pressure. It also covers measuring feed water, weighing coal, and tracking results to improve performance. The book emphasizes safe, repeatable procedures that work for small and large plants alike.
- How to plan an evaporation test that runs long enough for accurate results.
- Ways to weigh coal and track coal consumption accurately during a test.
- Methods to measure feed water and calculate boiler efficiency from real data.
- Interpretation tips for boiler horsepower, rated capacity, and practical improvements.
Ideal for engineers, firemen, and plant operators who want to understand boiler and furnace performance and reduce fuel costs.
