Plus, almost all types of marine boilers have this design as well.
Read MoreLocomotive boilers use a special type of safety valve known as the locomotive type safety valve. This type has extremely rugged construction and high accuracy, giving it the ability to discharge repeatedly without losing its calibration or requiring frequent overhaul; one identifying feature of the valve is it does not have an external

First, I realize that there are many different types of fireboxes and boilers that are used, so I am mainly curious about a typical USRA designed (North American) locomotive or similar design, non articulated. For some reason I thought the firebox tapered …
Read MoreThe boiler efficiency is usually reduced to 84-85%, when a coal fired boiler is converted to natural gas. The biggest change is due to the combustion of Hydrogen. This is normally a 4% heat loss while firing coal and about a 11% heat loss while firing natural gas. When firing natural gas, other losses such as dry gas loss, moisture in fuel and
