Understanding steam systems
Published:  October 2007

Spirax Sarco has published a comprehensive practical guide to steam systems. ‘The steam and condensate loop’ is described as a superb training and reference resource to help engineers optimise plant operations and save energy.

This guide explains the principles underpinning steam engineering and heat transfer. It covers all aspects of steam and condensate systems — from the boiler house, through the steam-distribution system to the point of use, as well as recovering and returning condensate back to the boiler.

The manual runs to 1464 pages, but its modular approach enables this complex subject to be tackled in manageable chapters that can be completed in half an hour. The comprehensive index makes the guide easy to use by experienced engineers looking to brush up on best practice and for those new to working with steam. There are 117 short modules arranged into 16 blocks. Each module has self-test questions at the end.
