Combustion Engineering and Gas Utilisation (Hardcover, 3rd Revised edition)

This book is a practical guide to sound engineering practice for engineers from industry and commerce responsible for the selection, installation, designing and maintenance of efficient and safe gas fired heating equipment. Starting from the basic principles of combustion, gas and dual fuel burners, this book describes the whole range of non-domestic gas fired equipment encountered in industrial and commercial premises. Gas controls and air-gas ration equipment are considered which is particularly relevant to those responsible for designing, servicing, maintaining and updating gas fired plant for safety and efficience. Individual chapters focus on gas supply, electrical power generation including combined heat and power and all aspects of instrumentation and measurment. Safety is a theme running throughout the book and all relevant references are made to the British Gas Standards and Codes of Practice.
