Specifications for Two Horizontal Direct-Acting Triple-Expansion Screw-Engines (Classic Reprint): Special Plan No; 2, for U. S. S. Philadelphia; (Cruiser No; 4), Of About 4, 300 Tons Displacement - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Technical specifications of a historic 19th‑century naval propulsion system that powered a U.S. cruiser. This book presents detailed engineering requirements for two horizontal, direct‑acting triple‑expansion screw engines, including high, intermediate, and low‑pressure cylinders, piston valves, and cross‑head guides. It covers boiler design, propeller sizing, and the arrangement of machinery in separate water‑tight compartments, offering a precise look at how complex steam plants were specified and built.
The document outlines the scope of work, materials, and workmanship, from cylinder casings and linings to valve gear and lubrication systems. It includes the layout of boilers, feed systems, pumps, and distillation equipment, along with the instrumentation and testing plans used to verify performance.
What you’ll experience
- A full overview of cylinder sizes, piston strokes, and valve arrangements for a multi‑cylinder steam engine system
- Specifications for boilers, burners, and feedwater and distilling arrangements
- Details on propeller design, shafting, bearings, and lubrication provisions
- A glimpse into the testing, instrumentation, and quality standards of the era
Ideal for readers of naval engineering history, early industrial propulsion, and archival military technology.
