Jawn Henery Boiler

[NW Mailing List]

The water tube boiler designed for the 2300 was made by Baldwin and are not
available in the Archives. 

 

A water tube boiler has the water inside the tubes/flues and not the hot
combustion gases which pass through the tubes/flues in 'conventional'
construction.   This structure allows a higher pressure to be safely
maintained in the boiler.  There are a number of thermodynamic and heat
transfer improvements between a water tube boiler operating at high pressure
over the normal locomotive boilers with the water outside the tubes/flues.

I have to check, but I believe that in the book written on the Jawn, there
was a diagram of the boiler.

It may also be in a book titled the N&W the last 25 years of steam.  All my
books are in boxes 

so it will take a while to find them.  Perhaps someone else may have better
access.

Well,,, this is my first attempt at this N&W mailing list thingie, and the
instructions did say to ask questions..

I remember the "Jawn Henry" in the Bluefield yards in the late 50's, I can
also remember conversation from the shop people about the high pressure
boiler and their fear of it's 600 lbs of pressure. I was told that it had a
Marine "M" type B&W water tube boiler. My question is; what type of boiler
was used and are drawings available?

 

Thank you;

Gene Arnold
