Academic Project Profile
Name : Remedies for maintenance problems in boilers at RTPP
Duration : 2Months
Team size : 3
Description:
This project is based on the maintenance problems that frequently occur in Boilers and its
remedies for the efficient working. The boiler in RTPP is overhauled and data is collected. Also a
‘C’ programme is assisted which gives the losses and efficiency for the boiler before and after
overhauling.
