The Control of Boilers 2nd Edition by SAM G. DUKELOW. In the book sections and subsections covering interlocks, burner start-up and management, and the management of the start-up and operation of pulverizers and other fuel burning equipment. Along with this is the recognition of applicable safety codes of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Book describes on-line aspects of boiler control into the arena of the larger capacity electric utility boilers. The results of this are new sections covering the firing rate demand for utility boilers and steam temperature control. The section covering furnace pressure control has been expanded to include implosion protection. The section covering the control of pulverized coal firing has been expanded to include cyclone furnaces and their control and the compartmented wind box boiler and its control.

The boiler control field, and the rest of the I&C field, has had its revolution. It is now a distributed digital “microprocessor” world. But as with all control systems, no matter what hardware or software is used, the control application of the job to be done must be the major focus and must be defined. This book is a discussion of that application area.
