I don't know of a book specifically on district steam. But see the attached Sarco Books which I think are excellent. Maybe they will help.

Personally I'd hire @JohnNY to give me a two hour course on NYC distributed steam

One issue I've never seen written about is pressure reducing stations versus heat exchangers.

HP Steam is deadly serious stuff. I rec'd Con Ed Training if available. Of course, United Association Local 638 Steamfitters training center is outstanding. Book knowledge is great, but HP is not something to learn on the job on your own without direct supervision of a HP Steam pro.

Don't understand the question but heat exchangers and pressure reduction are two different things. Look in the books I posted above if you want to know more about HP steam.

I believe ASHRAE Handbook in sixties or seventies had a chapter for district heating. For buildings using low pressure steam one option involves pressure reducing valves and associated plumbing. Another is a "steam to steam" heat exchanger. Perhaps a better term is steam fired boiler?

I think your right about ASHRAE having some info in the older book. I have a 1964 I will have to look.
But who works on "District Steam" that is all in the street? Once the steam gets in the building it goes through some isolation valves and pressure reducers then it is just a normal steam system. And they usually just dump the condensater.
