A boiler is one of that machinery that gets the ship going. A boiler is something, which though not required continuously in operating a ship, cannot be done away with. Moreover, steam boiler operation on ship involves dangerous equipment which generates steam at extremely high pressure, and it is for this reason that proper care should be taken while operating it.

According to an analysis, one of the main reasons behind accidents are improper operating procedures and overriding safety precautions while operating boilers. The main concern of any ship engineer is to operate all engine room machinery and systems to achieve maximum efficiency without hampering it’s operating life and safety measure.

The design and operation of a marine steam boiler installed on ships is based on some basic fundamentals of physics. Learn how a boiler is made from scratch and turned into an efficient system by implementing design optimisation and efficiency improvisation, following the principles which support the entire system.
