Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deep dive into the history of steam engines used for maritime purposes. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using salt water as a means of generating steam power for marine engines. Key concerns include the density and chemical impact of salt water on boilers and engines and the necessity to blow off super-salted water. The author introduces the invention of a condenser that can supply marine engines with fresh water to replace the use of salt water. This invention significantly increases the power of steam engines, reduces the cost of repairs, eliminates the need for copper in construction, extends the lifespan of iron boilers, lowers fuel consumption, and obviates the formation of scale. The book also includes testimonials from engineers and ship captains who have successfully used the condenser, highlighting its effectiveness and the substantial benefits it offers to the maritime industry.
