Combustion Engineering Boiler V2M8
A Vertical Boiler whose major design features are the gastight waterwall
furnace and the vertical in-line inverted U-loop superheater. The boiler shown
is top-fired with resulting improved gas distribution over the entire
superheater furnace. Both the main-bank tubes and superheater elements are
in-line for improved tube cleaning. Normally, soot-blowing equipment includes
retractable blowers in the superheater and rotary blowers in the main bank and
economizer. ![]()

One large V2M8 boiler is installed in a ship at a shipyard and another boiler is still suspended in the crane-hook. When the boilers are placed and secured then the engine room will be built around them. The hole in the floor just astern of the boilers will be the place for the propulsion steam turbine. |
