steam system book recommendation

[miguelandrade]

Hello world,

I must design the steam and the compressed air systems for the manufacturing of expandable polystyrene. All elements must be sized and selected (water softener, boiler, steam and air storage tanks, valves, piping, air compressor, air filtes, etc). Can someone recommend me some books with all the info I need to get this job done. It could be books where there is both topics (air and steam) or specialized ones. All I had found about steam is on steam power plants.

Thanks a lot

Thanks, spirax sarco is perfect for steam systems. Is there anything similar for compressed air systems?

Not as comprehensive as Spirax Sarco but still a good resource:
