For larger ships and higher powered ships ...CE's V2M-9 boiler with tangential firing. The trend to larger tankers and other higher powered ships created a demand for marine boilers in the capacity range of 200,000 to 500,000 pounds of steam per hour. With such large boilers, high efficiency, maximum reliability and low maintenance become even more vital. C-E's V2M-9 boiler with tangential firing meets these requirements. The combustion efficiency of tangential firing has been proven during thirty years of experience in land boilers. Burners are in-stalled in the corners of the V2M-9 furnace to produce a vortex pattern of flame, effec-tively utilizing the total furnace configura-tion. Tangential firing provides the optimum burner arrangement for low excess air oper-ation in high capacity boilers. The V2M-9 is more than just a large marine boiler. It is specially designed for high capacity service, to C-E's standards for maximum reliability and low mainte-nance. And it incorporates service proven features which benefit both the shipbuilder and th>. ^.hip operator.
