A Ship's Scotch Boiler Explained

This video takes a magnificent and complicated ship's boiler plan from the archive of Lloyds Register Foundation and animates it, explaining how a ship's scotch boiler worked and shows how the contemporary technical drawing illustrates its construction and operation. The plan comes from a tanker called the Baku Standard, torpedoed and sunk in the First World War by U-Boat UC58 off Tod Head, Aberdeen with the loss of 24 of her crew.

The scotch boiler is interesting, cause if you look at the pipe arrangement, it's reminiscent of the water tubing, fuel and control rod technological channels of a nuclear reactor. Whether it's Titanic's or Olympic's 3 firebox double ended scotch boilers, or the calandria of a CANDU or channel layout of an RBMK reactor, they look reminiscent to one another.

Scotch Marine boilers are a structure of beauty.

Would appreciate having the exhaust stack included. Guessing there’s one at either end? Cheers

Great job on the video/animation. Can you tell me how the animation was produced?

[@tedsinclair4556]

It skips the description of the furnace with the firebar arrangement and the ash door.

Excellent! I'm as much an engineering type as Nelson was a triple jumper and this video was perfectly understandable. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
