In most of the new vessels fitted with tubular boilers, small engines have been introduced, to pump water into the boiler when the vessel stops under steam. Most of these engines are furnished with a crank and fly-wheel, but that introduced by Messrs. Penn has no fly-wheel, and is a very compact and elegant arrangement. The pump-piston and the steam-piston are at different ends of the same rod, and, instead of the ordinary pump-valves, a slide-valve is introduced, which is situated at the opposite end of the steam slide-rod. The slide-valves are pipe-valves, and are moved by means of a tappet on the piston-rod. On another part of the same plate some views are given of a self-acting feed apparatus, which consists of a small chest, placed upon the front of the boiler at the level of the water-line, with ports, closed by a sliding-plate, communicating with the water in the boiler and the steam above it. When these ports are opened the water rises to the same height in the chest as in the boiler, and the ports are opened and shut by the small engine at every stroke of the pump. While the pump is making its stroke the ports leading from the chest to the boiler are closed, and if the chest be chiefly filled with steam, it will be compressed by the entering water, and the chest will receive a charge of water, which, on the ports being opened, will flow into the boiler. But if tiiere be but little steam in the chest when the pump is making its stroke, or the chest be filled with water from the rise of the water-level, the water discharged by the pump cannot gain admission, and it must therefore escape overboard through the loaded valve. Thus, as the water-level rises, the chest takes less water from the pump, and it takes more when the ...
