The student will go into greater depth with the designs, operating principles and major components of steam turbines and other industrial stationary engines. Support and control systems for steam turbines: generic start-up and shutdown procedures; operating principles of steam turbine condensers; operation, and applications of direct-fired and indirect-fired natural draft process heaters: and operating principles, designs, support systems, and operation of industrial internal combustion engines (ICE) are the systems that the student will gain required techniques to manage, operate and maintain these systems. The monitoring of processes and equipment used to treat boiler feedwater, condenser water, cooling water and wastewater in an industrial and municipal environment along with a review of safety concerns that allow Power Engineers to perform work in a manner that will ensure safety of self and co-workers through practice and compliance of established protocols and guidelines. The syllabus content supports the writing of the standardized 3rd Class Power (Operating) Engineering exam and the practical work content is included in this course.
