Marine boilers can also be classified by their heat source. Marine boilers are usually fired by burner with fuel oil or waste gas (diesel engine exhaust) or a combination of the two. In general, ships are equipped with both fuel oil fired and waste-gas-powered boilers to maximize efficiency. What are waste heat boilers? Waste heat…

Tube Design For starters, marine boilers can be classified by their tube design – Water-tube and Fire-tube (a In Water-tube boilers, water is…
We all know that boilers generate steam for heating and processing loads on our ships. But do you recognize these different types of boilers and their applications? 1. The Water-tube Boiler Babcock & Wilcox water-tube boiler, circa 1889 Water-tube boilers are boilers that have water being warmed inside the tubes and hot gases surrounding them.…
