Boiler Combustion Control and Burner Management

A boiler that burns badly wastes fuel and, at worst, risks an explosion, so combustion control and burner management are safety as much as efficiency. This course covers how combustion is controlled, how burner management keeps the firing safe, and how the two work together. Delegates leave able to follow the control and safety systems on a fired boiler.
