Steam system Steam is a common heat transport medium used in process applications and power generation because of its outstanding qualities such as ability to release heat at constant temperature, high heat content, ease of control and distribution and being cheap and inert. It is used for generating power as well as for process heating applications in industries such as sugar, paper, fertilizer, Read More>>
Waste Heat Recovery Waste Heat generated in an industrial process by way of fuel combustion or chemical reaction and not brought to use in a meaningful way is termed as waste heat. Sources of waste heat could be hot combustion Read More>>
Furnace In general a furnace is a structure or device with an arrangement to apply heat to any material. It can be used to melt metal for casting or to heat materials in order to change their shape (rolling, forging, etc.) or their properties (heat treatment). The efficiency of a furnace is the ratio of useful output to heat input. Performance assessment test of furnace is done to Read More>>
Boiler A boiler is an enclosed vessel that provides a means for combustion heat to be transferred into water until it becomes steam. The steam thus produced which is under pressure is then used for heating in the process or to generate power in the turbine. Steam is a useful and cheap medium for transferring heat to a process. When water is boiled into steam its volume increases about Read More>>
