Description

This PDF is the American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA) Handbook of Power, Utility and Boiler Terms and Phrases, Sixth Edition, a comprehensive technical glossary for terminology used throughout the boiler and power-generation industry. Rather than serving as an operating manual, it functions as a reference dictionary defining commonly used terms related to fuels, fuel preparation and burning equipment, combustion and emissions, ash and slag, furnaces, boilers, water and steam systems, superheaters and economizers, fans and stacks, emissions-control equipment, boiler controls, and regulatory terminology. It is designed to provide engineers, operators, manufacturers, and other industry professionals with consistent definitions and terminology for boiler systems and their auxiliary equipment.
