3. Steam generator (auxiliary boiler) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(auxiliary...

   A steam generator on a ship is an auxiliary boiler which draws high-pressure superheated steam from the vessel's propulsion system [1] to generate low pressure saturated steam. This secondary steam is then used to power auxiliary shipboard engines driving winches or pumps, or to meet any steam requirement that does not require superheating ...

4. Thimble tube boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thimble_tube_boiler

   Many ship systems, from steam winches and cranes through to domestic heating and the heating of bunker oil as a fuel oil, use steam, produced by such an auxiliary boiler. One rare use of the thimble tube boiler as a directly fired power generator was an experiment fitting to Leyland steam wagons in 1920.

   Cochran boiler. A vertical boiler with horizontal fire-tubes is a type of small vertical boiler, used to generate steam for small machinery. It is characterised by having many narrow fire-tubes, running horizontally. Boilers like this have been widely used on ships as either auxiliary or donkey boilers.

6. Boiler design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_design

   Sections of a steam locomotive showing the many fire-tubes which carry the hot gases of the fire through the boiler to heat the water and so create steam. Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a ...

7. Boiler (water heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(water_heating)

   The boiler heats water to a temperature controlled by a thermostat. The water then flows (either by natural circulation or by a pump) to radiators in the rooms which are to be heated. Water also flows through a coil in the hot water tank to heat a separate mass of water for bathing, etc.

   three-drum boiler: water-tube boilers with three drums in a triangular arrangement. The best known of these are the Yarrow and Admiralty patterns. Lesser-known examples are the Normand and Mumford. Thornycroft boiler: Several variants of an early naval water-tube boiler.

9. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   A district heating system uses centrally located boilers or water heaters and circulates heat energy to individual customers by circulating hot water or steam. This has the advantage of a central highly efficient energy converter that can use the best available pollution controls, and that is professionally operated.
