Boiler Types and Applications

Course No. M-2003

Credit: 2 PDH

Course Fee: $57.90 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Edward P. Brunet, Jr., P.E.

 

Overview

Boilers use the chemical energy in fuel to raise the energy content of water so that it can be used for heating or to drive turbines or other rotating equipment. There are many different types and sizes of boilers commercially available that burn a wide variety of fuels. The selection of a boiler is dependent on the characteristics of the available fuel, the specified heating output, the location where it will be installed, the required emissions controls and many other factors.

In this course, the student will review Section 2, "Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boilers" in the document "Guide to Low-Emission Boiler and Combustion Equipment Selection" published by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Office of Industrial Technologies. This section of the referenced publication provides an overview of the different types of industrial boilers commercially available including the types of fuels, fuel delivery systems and burners employed. Boiler emission rates mandated by the EPA are also briefly covered. This course is relevant to engineers who design steam systems, as well as any engineer interested in learning more about the types of boilers available and their applications. No prerequisite course is required to take this introductory course on boilers. However, the student may wish to familiarize himself with steam systems in general by taking PDHengineer.com's course titled Steam System Basics.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Types of boilers commercially available and their relative merits
  • Different fuels fired in each type of boiler.
  • Types and relative merits of different fuel feed systems
  • Types of low-emission burners
  • Quantities of atmospheric emissions for different fuel types, as well as regulatory requirements.
