The Boiler House
Boilers, fuels, feedwater, blowdown, controls and IBR — where steam is made and where most money is won or lost.
- B1Boiler types in India200°8 minShell, water-tube and coil boilers — what runs where, and why.
- B2Fuels and the price of a kilo of steam200°8 minGCV, the Indian fuel basket, and the ₹-per-1000-kcal method.
- B3F&A rating decoded200°7 minWhat “from and at 100 °C” really promises — and what your boiler actually evaporates.
- B4Boiler efficiency and the losses200°9 minThe indirect method: stack, blowdown, radiation — and what excess air costs.
- B5Feedwater and deaeration200°7 minHot feed economics and how deaerators remove the gases that corrode boilers.
- B6Blowdown and TDS control200°8 minWhy boilers must bleed, how much, and how to recover the heat.
- B7Boiler water chemistry primer200°8 minHardness, softening, dosing and carryover — enough chemistry to run a boiler well.
- B8Boiler controls and safety200°8 minLevel, pressure and combustion controls, mountings and interlocks.
- B9Steam accumulators200°7 minSmoothing batch demand — when a pressure vessel of hot water pays for itself.
- B10IBR without tears200°7 minWhat counts as an IBR steam pipe, what registration involves — the working engineer's view.
