Spirax Sarco's best practice guide
July 2010
News
Spirax Sarco’s ‘Steam and Condensate Loop’ is an engineer’s best practice guide to saving energy and optimising plant performance. This essential book explains the principles of steam engineering and heat transfer, covering all aspects of steam and condensate systems from the boiler house, through the steam distribution system to point of use, and recovering and returning condensate back to the boiler.
Optimising the plant through best practice energy saving principles can greatly reduce carbon emissions. Even plants with energy management programs can save 10 to 15% or more using best practices to increase their efficiency.
With practical application knowledge to deliver energy saving solutions, this indispensable reference guide is a must for all experienced engineers and an invaluable training tool to all those new to steam engineering.
Available from Spirax Sarco the full colour illustrated book has a comprehensive index, self-test questions, a list of equations as well as practical application techniques.
