available to choose from:
=======================================================
Boiler
Control: Boiler Systems
Duration:
4 hours (includes 1 test)
Audience:
This program is excellent for training instrument technicians as well as for the
multicraft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with process operations
and industrial process control.
What Students
Learn: This comprehensive INVOLVE® multimedia training program was
produced in association with the Instrument Society of America (ISA).
This program trains participants in the operation and maintenance of
boilers and their associated safety systems.
This lesson focuses on the principles of
operation of boiler systems and teaches the thermodynamic principles governing
steam generation and heat transfer. Basic
boiler components and operations will also be covered.
The lesson provides a detailed overview of how steam is generated on the
water side of the boiler, as well as the fundamentals of combustion and how
energy is converted in the boiler's furnace.
After completing the lesson, the learner will be able to:
•
Give a description of a typical boiler and related system.
• Describe the function of a
boiler.
• Define the following terms:
enthalpy, sensible heat, latent heat, latent heat of vaporization,
saturation temperature, superheating, critical
pressure, British Thermal Unit (BTU), and steam quality.
• Describe the flow of water
and energy when given a general description of a typical steam system.
• Explain how each system
contributes to the production of steam when given a block diagram of a
typical boiler.
• Show the flow paths for
inputs and outputs through the system when given a block diagram of a basic
boiler.
• Identify the basic types of
boilers when given descriptions of common features of the boilers.
• Describe common
applications for the different boiler types.
• Explain the functions of
the various components in a boiler when given their descriptions.
• Explain how components such
as economizers and preheaters conserve heat energy and maximize the
efficiency of steam production while minimizing cost
when given a description of the principles that
govern efficient steam production and optimal use of
fuel.
• Explain why feedwater must
be treated before it enters the boiler when given a description
of the effects of corrosion and scale on boiler components.
• Describe the principles of
combustion in a boiler furnace.
• Explain the functions of
the components in the fuel and air systems.
• Identify the most common
types of boiler fuels and describe their physical characteristics and heat
values when given descriptions of the three major categories
of boiler fuels.
• Describe the various
methods for preparing the fuel for use in a boiler.
• Describe the principle
by-products of combustion and how each is measured.
• Explain the importance of
monitoring emissions.

Boiler
Control: Boiler Controls
Duration:
4 hours (includes 1 test)
Audience:
This program is excellent for training instrument technicians as well as for the
multicraft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with process operations
and industrial process control.
What Students
Learn: This comprehensive INVOLVE® multimedia training program was
produced in association with the Instrument Society of America (ISA).
This program trains participants in the operation and maintenance of
boilers and their associated safety systems.
This lesson focuses on the control systems of
boilers and teaches the importance of proper drum level and basic methods for
controlling that level. Shrink and
swell will be explained. Furnace
draft control and basic control strategies for liquid, gas and solid fuel
boilers will also be covered, as well as the fundamentals of combustion testing.
The lesson also provides information about steam temperature control and
unit management systems.
After completing the lesson, the learner will be able to:
•
Explain the relationship between steam demand, feedwater flow, and drum
level.
• Identify the problems
caused by low drum water level.
• Identify the problems
caused by high drum water level.
• Explain the terms
"shrink" and "swell" and their associated control problems.
• Identify the major
components and functions in each of the following drum level control systems:
single-element, two-element and three-element
control systems.
• Identify the various
sensors used to measure steam drum level in a high pressure drum boiler.
• Explain why steam drum
level transmitters are density or temperature compensated and how this is
accomplished.
• Describe the function of
the demand loop.
• Describe the function of
furnace draft control.
• Describe the control
systems used in gas and liquid fuel boilers.
• Describe the control
systems used in solid fuel boilers.
• Describe the purpose of and
basic steps for a combustion test.
• Explain the purpose of
controlling steam temperature.
• Identify the instruments
and interconnections used to control steam temperature.
• Describe boiler-following
unit control.
• Describe turbine-following
unit control, and describe the coordinated unit control system.

Boiler
Control: Troubleshooting Boiler
Controls
Duration:
4 hours (includes 1 test)
Audience:
This program is excellent for training instrument technicians as well as for the
multicraft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities.
This lesson is designed for participants familiar with process operations
and industrial process control.
