The purpose of a steam boiler is to create steam by applying heat energy to water. The most common source of heat is that from the combustion of an organic fuel like natural gas, fuel oil or coal. The value of steam in a commercial building is that it is an effective medium for distributing heat throughout a building or even a group of buildings. The combination of a steam boiler and steam distribution system means that all the heat generation can be done efficiently in one location and the steam can be easily distributed to all of the places it is needed for heating. In this interactive online course, we will discuss the function of boilers and steam. We will cover different types of boilers, including fire tube boilers and water tube boilers. We will also discuss combustion and steam traps.
