Steam boilers have been called the workhorses of America. Steam is used in one way or another in over 95% of all manufactured products. Steam is also vital to comfort heating in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities.
In addition the great majority of the electric generators producing electricity today are driven by steam turbines using steam produced boilers.
There are several primary types of boilers and many individual design configurations, but most of the terminology and operating principles associated with boilers apply to all of them. The basic functional subsystems needed for boiler operations are consistent among the various designs as well. The safe generation and use of steam requires that boiler operators have a clear understanding of these principles and subsystems.
In addition, rising fuel costs dictate that boiler operators be more knowledgeable today than ever in operating their boiler systems efficiently.
