Good for an upcoming engineer

This is a great text book for upcoming engineers. Anyone else is going to be bored to tears. It's a text book, nuff said.

awesome

This is the best book i've ever read on boiler. This book has been a great reference for me to pass my Steam Engineer examination. I passed the exam by only reading this book and without attending any course. Easy to understand and Kohan answers most common asked question in boiler exams and common doubt among boiler engineers. This book actually answared 90% of the questions that i have doubt in. thank you kohan !

Excellent as a Learning Tool, but not enough to get your license

This book is an excellent learning tool for new boiler/plant operators. It gives a basic understanding of most aspects of Plant operation. Unfortunately, the generalized nature of the book doesn't lend itself to answer specific questions an inexperienced yet knowledgeable person might have. My point is, this book can give you an overview of everything you need to learn about operating a steam plant, but it won't be enough to prepare you for a tough licensing exam. As a guide and a place to start, this book is excellent and a must read for people wishing to enter the world of stationary engineering. Just remember you'll need more when you're done with this one.

Boiler operators guide - a must have

I am currently studying for a New Zealand Boiler Attendants National Certifificate level 2 (for operating boilers up to 6MW)and have been operating for over 2 years. I wish I'd had this book before I sent my last 2 assignments in. I would thoroughly recommend this book for any operator. Only negative I have is the lack of metric units, but that does'nt detract from the usefullnes of this book.
