Features: This book is a recommended textbook for the "Boilers and Boiler House Equipment" course in the original Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Gas Engineering program at colleges and universities. It is revised based on the third edition published in 1995. The book focuses on heating boilers (industrial boilers) and systematically elaborates on the basic theories and design calculation methods of boilers, emphasizing the combination of China's boiler industry practices and the timely reflection of new advancements and achievements in domestic and international boiler technology. During the revision, the original features and framework structure were maintained, but the content was significantly expanded, updated, and revised, highlighting environmental protection and energy conservation. New additions include the characteristics of liquid and gaseous fuels, combustion calculation, combustion equipment, and oil and gas boilers; a rewritten section on "Flue Gas Purification"; a new section on "Waste Heat Boilers"; and updates and implementation of national standards, regulations, and codes related to boilers. Additionally, each chapter includes review questions and exercises (with reference answers), and the book also provides two engineering case studies of operational oil and gas boiler plant process designs. This book can also serve as a reference for teachers, students, and engineering professionals in related fields.
