  2. Scotch marine boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_marine_boiler

    Some motor ships, powered by internal combustion engines, also carried Scotch boilers. So-called exhaust-gas boilers were heated by the hot, exhaust gas of the main engines. An example is the diesel-powered, Monte-class passenger ships that were built in Germany in the 1920s and were each fitted with two boilers.

  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 ...

    donkey boiler: A donkey boiler is used to supply non-essential steam to a ship for 'hotel' services such as heating or lighting when the main boilers are not in steam, for example, when in port. [3] Donkey boilers were also used by the last sailing ships for working winches and anchor capstans. See also auxiliary boiler.

    140-ton – also described as 135-ton – vertical triple-expansion engine of the type used to power World War II Liberty ships, assembled for testing prior to delivery. The engine is 21 feet (6.4 meters) long and 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall and was designed to operate at 76 rpm and propel a Liberty ship at about 11 kn (13 mph; 20 km/h).

    Vessels typically contained several engines for different purposes. Main, or propulsion engines are used to turn the ship's propeller and move the ship through the water. . The fire room got its name from the days when ships burned coal to heat steam to drive the steam engines or turbines; the room was where the stokers spent their days shoveling coal continuously onto the grates under the ...

  7. Three-drum boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-drum_boiler

    Three-drum boilers are a class of water-tube boiler used to generate steam, typically to power ships. They are compact and of high evaporative power, factors that encourage this use. Other boiler designs may be more efficient, although bulkier, and so the three-drum pattern was rare as a land-based stationary boiler.
