Features: This book is divided into 23 chapters, introducing the design, manufacturing, inspection, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of power boilers from an engineering practice perspective. The specific content includes water-tube boilers, fire-tube boilers, small boilers, electric boilers, and organic liquid evaporators, as well as peripheral systems such as fuel systems, control systems, and water treatment systems that ensure the economic and safe operation of boilers. The greatest feature of this book is its technical background based on the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Standards of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It uses numerous examples (calculations, inspections, structural and process treatments) to illustrate the ASME standards and explains how to correctly apply the ASME standards in the details of specific issues. This book is suitable for inspection personnel of power boilers and pressure vessels, as well as for power boiler designers, manufacturers, installers, operators, and maintenance personnel. It can also serve as a reference book for researchers and university/college students and faculty in related fields.
