Boiler Operator's Workbook, 4th Edition, provides the latest information on the safe and efficient operation of boilers and related equipment. Boiler Operator's Workbook covers virtually all facets of steam boiler operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The fourth edition is a complete instructional reference for use in preparing to pass a boiler operator's licensing exam. This new edition includes the latest information on instrumentation and PLC controls systems, variable-frequency drives, (VFDs), steam system optimization, reverse osmosis systems, low-NOx burners, and boiler start-up and shutdown procedures. Fundamental scientific principles, detailed illustrations, descriptive photographs, and concise text are used to present the following topics:

Steam, water, fuel, and draft systems and controls.
Boiler instrumentation and control systems.
Boiler system operation, maintenance, and optimization.
Trade tests and sample licensing exams.

Boiler Operator's Workbook, 4th Edition, is arranged in a convenient question-and-answer format specifically designed for use in preparation for obtaining a boiler operator's license. This format makes the book easy to use as a refresher for boiler licensing examinations and for industrial and vocational boiler classes. The expanded answers, many with illustrations, explain the theory and practice of steam plant operations in a clear, concise manner. Key terms are italicized and defined in the text for additional clarity. Throughout Boiler Operator's Workbook, 4th Edition, math calculations are used to obtain information. On many licensing examinations, the ability to set up math problems, assign values, and solve the problems is assumed. Questions on licensing examinations may also test the ability to transpose and use basic math equations to obtain the answers. Examples of these math equations are included in the chapter where the equation is introduced. Additional explanation and sample problems are given on the CD-ROM included with the text.
