German boilers
German boilers
The last 3-4 classes of German WW1 BBs/BCs had a combo of coal and oil fired boilers. Several sources seem to show that the oil fired boilers were more powerful but I cant find out how much. Anyone have info? Also, I am trying to find their relative sizes. Ideally, dimensions would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hello to All,
Some of you may know the German forum marine archive.
Since I am currently dealing with some of the technical background to this topic, here are two threads with detailed explanations
of the background of the oil-coal firing ratio and its specific requirements, as well as advantages and disadvantages.
Ölfeuerung in der Kaiserlichen Marine / Oil Firing in the Imperial Navy

The title already says a lot; - Here is specifically explained; How, Why and from When
Des Kaisers schneller König / The Emperor's Fast King
