In order for a boiler to convert water to steam, a fuel source must release its energy in the form of combustion in the boiler furnace. Fuel systems play a critical role in the performance of a boiler. The most commonly used fuels in power boilers are natural gas, fuel oil, coal, and wood (biomass). Each of these fuels have different physical properties that require delivery systems that are unique to that fuel. Fuel systems should be properly operated and maintained to run efficiently.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is the purpose of a fuel source in a power boiler? The purpose of a power boiler is to create steam by applying heat energy to water. In order for a boiler to convert water to steam, a fuel source must release its energy in the form of combustion in the boiler furnace.
What are the fuel considerations taken when designing a boiler? When designing a boiler, consideration is given to the cost, availability, efficiency, and burning characteristics of the fuel.
What are some characteristics of gaseous fuels? Gaseous fuels are relatively easy to transport and handle. They do not require on-site storage and can be controlled by a variety of control systems.
What are some characteristics of liquid fuels? Liquid fuels are relatively easy to transport and handle, normally require on-site storage, can be controlled by a variety of control systems, and typically require heating.
What are some characteristics of solid fuels? Solid fuels are more difficult to transport and handle and normally require preparation for combustion such as crushing or shredding, or dewatering/drying as with sludge. They take up a considerable amount of space for storage and their control systems are generally more complicated.
