Boiler Control Systems Engineering is designed for anyone working with boilers, including utility managers, power plant managers, control systems engineers, maintenance technicians and operators. It primarily focuses on water-tube boilers with induced draft (ID) and forced draft (FD) fans, as well as those with only FD fans. The content can also be applied to any fuel-fired steam generator. Although other books on boiler control exist, they do not cover the detailed engineering aspects of control systems and the setup of various control functions.
This book provides specific examples of boiler control, including configuration and tuning, valve sizing and transmitter specifications. This expanded and updated Second Edition features drum-level compensation equations, additional piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and examples of permissive start-up and tripping logic for gas, oil and coal-fired boilers. It also covers different control schemes for furnace draft management. NFPA 85 Code 2007 control system requirements are included, along with illustrated examples of coal-fired boilers and information on the latest ISA-77 standards.

About the Author
Jerry Gilman's career has spanned more than 37 years with Procter & Gamble (P&G), and its subsidiaries. As a process control systems engineer for P&G, Gilman was dedicated to improving control systems and implementing new technology in numerous product areas at P&G in the US and foreign countries. One of his areas of expertise has been with boiler control systems engineering: improving efficiency, conserving energy, and working as a primary troubleshooter on boilers and other combustion systems.
A licensed professional engineer, Jerry Gilman currently provides training for ISA (International Society of Automation) and consulting to utility plants, industrial power plants and engineering contractors. This includes performing startups, tuning, and troubleshooting more than a hundred boilers and combustion systems such as dryers, roasters, and ovens. Gilman's expertise in fuels and combustion control ranges from finding solutions for new unit applications to retrofitting existing installations in order to save fuel, change fuels, or improve overall control. He has applied his experience in combustion testing and energy utilization to help simplify boiler performance monitoring techniques and methods. His approaches are easy to understand and use effectively.
Jerry Gilman is the developer of the "ISA Boiler Control Systems Engineering" and "ISA Burner Management Systems Engineering" training courses. He has been a guest speaker on boiler control, burner management, and boiler safety issues at various ISA section meetings and other user groups and seminars. Additionally, he was a technical advisor for "Win Boiler Sim," a PC-based boiler training program developed by Len Klochek and sold through ISA.
Jerry Gilman is an active member on the following ISA Standards Committees: ISA84 Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) for Use in Safety Applications; ISA84 Burner Management System Working Group; and ISA77 Fossil Fuel Power Plant Standards.
