In motor ships
In port, steam produced in boiler by
heating via furnace/burner
At sea, steam produced by heating via
diesel exhaust gases
Two basic methods
Composite Boiler,
has two gas sides:
furnace
diesel exhaust
COMPOSITE BOILER
Boilers normal

circulated by a
pump to an

GLASSES
To:
drain sludge deposits
reduce chlorides by draining and
replenishing with fresh water
lower the level if it is too high
empty boiler water
Elliptical:
no stress corners
can be shut from
inside

Can result in
a HydrogenIon fire
Due to a Hydrogen-Ion
fire
Sequence:
steam & hot steel produces
hydrogen
hydrogen & hot steel
results in a hydrogen-ion
fire; - self supporting
TUBE DAMAGE

low water level
fires
Low Pressure
In Motor Ships
For:
heating
turbo generators
deck machinery
STEAM TRAP
Fitted to the
return line to the
condenser
To prevent any
steam returning
Only water is
allowed through
Full use of steam
CONDENSER
In LP systems
Water drains into hot
well from condenser
Has an observation glass
Any oil returning with
steam will float
Oil can come from
heating coils in fuel
tanks
Dangerous to allow oil
into boiler waterside
HOT WELL
WATER HAMMER
Avoided by:
crack opening steam valves and warming
through
leaving drains open till steam comes out
proper treatment
correct water level
