Dictionary of Coal-Fired Steam Generation

This work covers the entire field of steam generation using coal, including its mining and processing. Three broad areas are covered: firstly, coal, i.e. the main solid fuel, secondly, generation of steam using coal-fired boilers, and thirdly, downstream equipment including emission control measures. Under coal, specialized terminology relating to its mining, transportation, processing and subsequent feeding into the furnace has been included. Steam generation encompasses all details of boiler with special emphasis on design, process and system parameters. Downstream equipment, like economizer, air preheater, electrostatics precipitator etc. have also been extensively covered. A unique feature of this dictionary is that relevant concepts and processes have been explained with the help of the consulting editors, for a better understanding of the terms. The dictionary is the outcome of terminology work carried out by the authors who have long years of experience in translating German documents pertaining to the area of thermal power engineering. A host of reference materials, such as scientific journals, technical reference books, lexicons, guidelines, standards, patents and bilingual product literature were consulted to make the terms as authentic as possible. This dictionary will serve as an important reference to translators and researchers engaged in the field.Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.
