LaMont marine steam boiler

The LaMont marine boiler is a semi-flash boiler in which the feedwater is supplied by means of a pump to the ends of long closely spaced tubes of small diameter. The tubes end in a separating drum where the emulsion of steam and water separates. The boiler requires a powerful pump for the forced circulation of the boiler water. The LaMont boilers forced water circulation and the tubes of small diameter gives enormous freedom as far as the design of the heating surfaces concern.
