Improve boiler efficiency with clear, practical guidance on how to generate the right air flow for burning fuel. This field-tested book explains how draught works, from natural chimney effects to modern mechanical systems, so you can choose the best method for any plant.
This edition covers the basics of air supply, how to measure and calculate air quantities, and the pros and cons of different draught methods. It combines theory with real-world examples to help engineers assess existing setups or plan new installations.
- Learn how natural and mechanical draught differ, including induced, forced, and balanced systems
- Understand how air temperature, volume, and pressure affect combustion and efficiency
- Explore chimney design, artificial draught, and land and marine applications
- See practical considerations for reliability, cost, and maintenance
Ideal for readers of technical engineering works who want a practical, no‑nonsense guide to boiler draught and combustion efficiency.
