This interactive training unit is designed to introduce trainees to fundamental concepts related to industrial plant boilers. After completing this unit, trainees should be able to describe the basic requirements for steam production and combustion and explain how a boiler produces steam. They should also be able to identify three types of heat transfer and explain how heat transfer occurs in a typical boiler. In addition, trainees should be able to describe how water, combustion gases, and steam flow through fire tube and water tube boilers.
