For a similar reason, the smokebox is sometimes painted with silver-coloured heat-resisting paint. The latter two changes are needed because oil firing produces higher temperatures than coal firing, and can cause rapid erosion of metal. shorter superheater elements are fitted.the lower part of the inner firebox is lined with firebrick.by a downdraft when entering a tunnel) the hot firebrick will re-ignite it the grate is covered with broken firebrick to act as a reservoir of heat.When a coal-burning steam locomotive is converted to burn oil, various modifications are usual: Some oil-burning engines were originally designed to be coal powered but were converted. In James Holden's system, steam was raised by burning coal before the oil fuel was turned on. Īn early pioneer of this form of engine was James Holden, of Britain's Great Eastern Railway. This is mechanically very different from diesel engines, which use internal combustion, although they are sometimes colloquially referred to as oil burners. The term is usually applied to a locomotive or ship engine that burns oil to heat water, to produce the steam which drives the pistons, or turbines, from which the power is derived. For other uses, see Oil burner (disambiguation).ĭarjeeling Himalayan Railway Locomotive No.787 after conversion to oil firing.Īn oil burner engine is a steam engine that uses oil as its fuel.
