Closed Feedwater Heaters for Power Generation illustrates how to control the liquid level of the condensed extraction steam and offers recommendations for what to include in procurement specifications. Expert advice for evaluating manufacturers' technical proposals for new and replacement feedwater heaters is provided. This comprehensive resource also discusses inspection, maintenance, and repair of closed feedwater heaters as well as failures and their causes.

 

Based on the authors' decades of experience, this book explains how to improve cycle effeciency and reduce the cost of fuel used to produce electricity using closed feedwater heaters. This practical guide describes the steam cycle and contains detailed information on how manufacturers build feedwater heaters.

Tubular Heat Exchanger Inspection, Maintenance & Repair provides a bounty of inspection checklists and cost containment tips that minimize the need for new equiipment. It addresses inspection, maintenance, and repair of shell-and-tube heat exchangers ranging from simple pipe-sizd shop-fabricated exchangers to large field-erected ones.

     Increasing concerns about cost control in process and manufacturing industries make it imperative to extend the life span of tubular heat exchangers.

     Practical approaches cover nondestructive examination and testing of exchangers that are under construction, in operation, or being restored to operation. Special attention is given to finding the locations and causes of failures and techniques of plugging, ferruling and sleeving

     You'll also see how to conduct ceedwater heater autopsies so you can prevent repetition of past design and operation errors. Complet with insights into causes of deterioration and guidance on retubing and rebundling, Tubular Exchanger Inspection, Maintenance and Repair will be your most valuable cost-cutting field manual.

A Working Guide to Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers written by one of the country's top experts on tubiulare heat exchngers,  covers the practical aspects - design, construction, and maintenance - of shell and tube heat exchangers, the most widely used type of heat transfer equipment.

     Virtually every chemical and mechanical engineer in the proces and power industries will sooner or later work with shell-and-tube exchangers. Most operating difficulties encountered with these instruments - including problems that seem to result from improper thermal design - are caused by mechanical and construction flaws, areas seldom covered by engineering courses. This practical nuts-and-bolts guide offers detailed problem solving guidance for construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting. The material is presented in a clear and readable style geared for the on-the-job needs of design and plant engineers, operators and fabricators.

     Here are basic principles, practces, performance data, and specifications for tubing and tubesheet construction, tube-to-tubesheet joints, tube materials, tubeside construction, shellside construction, plus guidance for codes and standards including ASME,TEMA,NBIC, AND API. You'll also find practical guidance to writing and interpreting specifications. More than 225 detailed illustrations make this the most complete, most useful deskbook of its kind - a comprehensive source of suolutions for all aspects of solutions for all aspects of shell-and-tube exchanger design and operation.
