Abstract:

This invention relates generally to multicylinder vertical compound steam engines using a "Woolf steam cycle," and it relates more particularly to steeple-compound, uniflow, poppet- valve, reversing stationary and marine steam engines, on which much higher steam temperatures can be used with resulting lower steam consumption.
