A WATERTUBE BOILER FOR MY TRIPLE EXPANSION ENGINE
simplyloco:
I already have a nice vertical boiler that I could use, but it is very large, the operating pressure is only about 60 psi and and I want at least 100, and it is not a marine type boiler, hence the need for a new boiler.
There is a Yarrow type water tube boiler listed in KN Harris's excellent book on boiler making. These high pressure boilers powered many ships in the past, but they were a bit more complicated than the one I'm going to make! #
Some pics.
A former to fashion the flat on bottom headers.
A teak former to support the 22mm tube and former.
After about five minutes healthy beating I landed up with this shape. Just what I wanted!
Ta Daa!!! The 6mm tubing and the 54mm barrel arrive on Tuesday. Onwards and upwards!
