Engine-room supply for auxiliary, composite and exhaust gas boilers, and for the burners fitted to them.
Vessel Core supplies technical buyers with spare parts for marine auxiliary boilers, composite boilers, exhaust gas boilers and economizers, and for the burners fitted to them. Where a boiler is fired in the engine room, the engine room ventilation calculator counts the combustion air of its burner with that of the engines when the ventilation air of the room is worked out.
The request can begin from exact part numbers or from the plates themselves. What decides the scope is rarely the word boiler: it is the series letters read off the plate, the burner type on its own separate plate, and — on a composite or exhaust gas unit — which side of the machine the item belongs to.
Requests usually arrive in one of three ways: as the list opened for a boiler survey, as a fault on the burner or the water-level side, or as a line from an engine-room supply review. The groups below follow the boiler rather than the occasion. Maker names and series codes appear on this page only to identify the equipment on board: Vessel Core holds no dealership, distribution, representation or partnership agreement with Aalborg, Kangrim, Miura, Riello or any other manufacturer, and does not present itself as holding one.
Tubes and tube stubs, refractory, mountings and gasket sets for the vertical and horizontal auxiliary types. The series letter is the identity rather than a size class, so the letters read off the plate decide the scope before the description of the boiler does — Kangrim MB, MH, MD and MS units and Miura HB and VWH lines are separate designs, not executions of one.
A composite unit is fired and exhaust-heated in one shell, and the two sides are different tube and gasket scopes. State which side the request is for: Kangrim PC and Miura GK plates both carry a figure group that belongs in the request as written.
Tube elements and stacks, soot blower parts, expansion joints and gaskets. An economizer request is quoted from the element drawing rather than from the engine, and Kangrim E codes cover the range, EA being the smoke tube natural circulation build with a steam space.
The burner carries its own type plate, separate from the boiler. On Riello units the letters decide the parts before the size does — RS for gas, RL for light oil, RLS for dual fuel — and a burner request is usually a group of small items rather than one: nozzles, electrodes, the flame detector, the ignition transformer, the oil pump, the solenoid valve, the fan and the control box. Beyond Riello, the atomising principle comes first: a boiler such as the Aalborg OM is designed for a pressure-jet, rotary cup or steam-atomising burner, and the atomiser parts differ with the principle. A pressure-jet nozzle carries a stamped marking worth copying; a steam-atomising atomiser has no such small marking and is identified from the burner designation instead.
Gauge glass sets, cocks and packing, water level control parts, electrode columns and probes, and the low-water protection that goes with them. A flat glass is named from its size or a measured length in the gauge glass size finder. These are the items a survey looks at, so the request should say whether the set is being replaced complete or made up from parts.
Safety valves and their springs, main steam, feed and blow-down valve parts. A safety valve is not bought like a gauge glass: it is set on a rig, sealed and accepted against the approved arrangement, so it has to match that arrangement rather than merely fit, and the setting record and the survey status belong in the request alongside the size. Valve-maker context sits on the LESER and Fukui pages, and the route advisor walks through the class and approval questions for a line like this one. Where the blow-down rate itself is in question, the blowdown calculator works it out from the feed water TDS, chloride or conductivity and the boiler water limit.
Membrane and pin-tube panel work, and the refractory that a given furnace actually has. On a membrane-wall furnace such as the Aalborg OL, formerly MISSION OL, there is no brickwork order in the old sense — refractory is reduced to a protective layer at the bottom of the furnace and around the access doors, and the letters after the maker name decide what the heating surface is made of.
Manhole, handhole and inspection door gaskets, and the sets that are opened at survey. These are the lines most often ordered late, because the list a crew fits and the list a surveyor accepts are not written at the same moment.
Start typing a designation, a maker or a part and the rows filter as you go. The full list across every category and maker lives on the maker reference page.
28 models · 2 notes
| Model | Series | Maker | Typical parts |
|---|---|---|---|
| OS | Oil-fired · vertical | Aalborg | A vertical oil-fired auxiliary boiler, first sold as MISSION OS. Its convection section is made of pin-tube elements: an outer tube around an inner tube whose welded pins extend the heating surface. A tube line on an OS is therefore an element, identified from the boiler's own drawing, not a length of plain tube. |
| OC · OC-TCi | Composite · oil and exhaust gas | Aalborg | A vertical boiler fired by oil and heated by exhaust gas in one unit: bare smoke tubes on the exhaust gas side, an oil-fired furnace with its own convection surface on the other. The maker lists the OC and the OC-TCi as separate boilers, so a parts list for one is not read across to the other, and every line should say which section it belongs to. |
| D | D-type · two drums | Aalborg | A large water-tube boiler of D-type design, with a steam drum and a water drum joined by a generating tube bank. For oil firing it carries the steam-atomising KBSD burner, so its burner lines belong with the large top-fired boilers rather than with the small vertical units. |
| XW | Exhaust gas economiser · water tube | Aalborg | A water-tube economiser for engine exhaust, built from finned (gilled) double tubes and run on forced circulation. It has no steam space of its own: water is pumped to it from an oil-fired boiler or a separate steam drum and returns there as a steam and water mixture. Soot blowers on steam or compressed air keep the tubes clear. |
| KBSD · KBSA · KBM · KBP | Maker's own burners | Aalborg | The KB letters name Aalborg's own burners, and the letters after KB are separate designs, not sizes of one. The KBSD is a steam-atomising burner for large top-fired boilers. KBSA, KBM and KBP appear in the maker's burner list and in independent parts lists, where lances, nozzles, electrode sets and ignition transformers are listed burner by burner and size by size. |
| MB series | Vertical water tube | Kangrim | The MB boilers are vertical cylindrical water tube units, the larger of the auxiliary types. Tubes and tube stubs, refractory, burner head items, safety valves, gauge glass sets, level control parts and manhole and handhole gaskets are the recurring lines. |
| MH · MD series | Horizontal and two-drum | Kangrim | MH names the horizontal auxiliary boilers and MD the two-drum build, and the letter is the identity rather than a size class. Requests cover tubes, refractory, burner and ignition items, safety and feed valves and the gasket sets opened at survey. |
| MS · PC series | Cylindrical and composite | Kangrim | MS is the smaller cylindrical boiler and PC the cylindrical composite build fired and exhaust-heated in one shell. On a composite unit, state which side the request is for, because the fired side and the gas side are different tube and gasket scopes. |
| EA · EB · EM series | Exhaust gas boilers and economizers | Kangrim | The E codes are the exhaust gas boilers and economizers, EA being the smoke tube natural circulation build with a steam space. Tube elements and stacks, soot blower parts, expansion joints and gaskets are the items, and an economizer request is quoted from the element drawing rather than from the engine. |
| GK series | Marine composite boiler | Miura | GK is the composite boiler line, written with a figure group after the letters on the plate. Tubes and tube elements, refractory, burner head and ignition items, safety valves and gasket sets are the recurring lines, and the figure group belongs in the request as written. |
| HB · VWH series | Marine auxiliary boilers | Miura | HB and VWH are the marine auxiliary boiler lines, and they are separate designs rather than executions of one. Water level control parts, gauge glasses, burner items, feed pump wear parts and gaskets are what buyers enquire about on these units. |
| VWK series | Marine boilers | Miura | VWK plates carry a suffix such as VWK-M29, and the suffix is part of the identity. Send it with the request together with the burner make, since the burner on a boiler of this size is frequently a bought-in unit with its own plate. |
| Mission OL | Top-fired, two-drum boiler | Aalborg | The maker now writes this top-fired, two-drum membrane-wall boiler as Aalborg OL, formerly MISSION OL, so a plate reading MISSION OL is the older name of the same boiler, not a different one. Burner atomisers and electrodes, pin-tube and membrane panel work, mountings and gauge glasses are the recurring lines — and since the OL can serve as the shared steam drum for one or more exhaust gas economizers, a request raised against its plate may concern heating surface that belongs to an economizer instead. |
| GP | Gas burners · GP | Oilon | GP is the type prefix of Oilon gas burners: the maker files the GP-50 H under its gas burners, and a used GP-80 H was offered as a monoblock gas burner with its gas train mounted on the side. The figures and the suffix after GP decide which head, ignition and gas train items belong to the burner, so the plate line is copied in full, together with the serial number. |
| RP-130H | Oil burners · RP | Oilon | RP-130H is an Oilon oil burner type that runs through the maker's own parts names, from the nozzle valve to the ignition electrode, and a used RP-130H was offered second-hand as a two-stage burner for diesel oil or heavy oil. Neighbouring RP sizes share some parts and not others, so the type on the plate, not the family, fixes each line. |
| RS · RL · RLS series | Gas, light oil and dual fuel | Riello | RS is the gas programme, RL the light oil one and RLS the dual fuel one, and the letters decide the parts before the size does. The burner carries its own type plate separate from the boiler, so send both. |
| SKV-A · SKVJ-M · SKVG | Rotary cup burners · earlier types | Saacke | The maker's marine data sheets describe the SKV-A as a duoblock rotary cup burner for all kinds of marine boilers and the SKVJ-M as a monoblock rotary cup burner for smaller marine boilers, and its marine burner list also carried the SKVG. Some of its boiler tables write the type with a bracketed G, as in SKV-A (G), so copy the letters exactly as the plate shows them. |
| SKVJG-M · ROTONOX | Rotary atomiser burners · current | Saacke | The SKVJG-M is the maker's current marine burner: a compact monoblock rotary atomiser, built as a liquid-fuel or combination burner and offered for gas, methanol and biofuels as well as heavy fuel, MDO and MGO. Saacke presents ROTONOX as the successor to its SKVG and SKVJG burners, and names both series in its work on methanol as a marine fuel. |
| DDZ-M | Steam pressure atomiser | Saacke | For higher capacity requirements Saacke uses its DDZ pressure atomising technology instead of a rotary cup. Its data sheet places the DDZ-M steam atomising burner on medium and large water-tube boilers, such as auxiliary and main boilers on tankers and FPSOs. The atomiser parts come from a different list than those of the rotary cup types, which is why the designation goes first in the request. |
| FMB-VS · FMB-VM · FMB-VM-VL · FMB-VD · FMB-HF | Fired marine boilers | Saacke | Saacke's own fired boilers: vertical side-fired (FMB-VS), vertical water-tube (FMB-VM), water-tube for medium to large outputs (FMB-VM-VL), top-fired D-type (FMB-VD) and horizontal three-pass (FMB-HF), whose rear chamber opens through large maintenance hatches. The suffix after FMB names the build and belongs in the request. Older maker tables also list an FMW fired marine boiler. |
| CMB-VS · CMB-HF · CMB-VF-LONOX | Combination boilers | Saacke | Combination marine boilers that join exhaust gas and oil firing in one unit. On the CMB-VS the propulsion engine's flue gas does most of the work and the oil-fired side covers additional steam demand. CMB-VS and CMB-VF-LONOX are vertical; the CMB-HF is horizontal, with hatches in the rear wall chamber giving access to the flue gas tubes and the furnace. |
| EMB/EME-HST · EMB/EME-VST · EMB/EME-VFT | Exhaust gas boilers and economisers | Saacke | Exhaust gas boilers or economisers that also work as silencers in the exhaust line. HST is horizontal and VST vertical, both smoke-tube designs; the VFT is a vertical forced-circulation economiser built from modules that come out without removing the casing, with fixed connections for water jets and soot blowers. A VFT request should name the module as well as the unit. |
| GCU evo · GCU compact | Gas combustion units | Saacke | On an LNG carrier the Saacke plate may belong to a gas combustion unit rather than a boiler. The GCU burns surplus boil-off gas in an air-cooled steel combustion chamber that fits in the funnel area and works with several blowers. The GCU compact has an oil-fired pilot burner, and its combustion chamber and burner can be removed through the chimney shaft. |
| SDR | SDR rotary cup burners | Sunflame | SDR is the type code of the Sunflame rotary cup burners for marine boilers, and it is the code under which boiler documentation names a Sunflame burner. Copy the full designation as stamped, with every figure and letter after SDR, because the letters alone do not open the right parts list. The burner carries a plate of its own, separate from the boiler, so cup, drive and fuel train items are quoted against the burner plate, the serial and the burner manual. |
| OSV-600SAI | OSV incinerators · SAI | Sunflame | OSV is the type code of the Sunflame shipboard incinerators. The letters after the figure group belong to the type: an SAI unit and an SDAI unit of the same figure group are listed as separate types by the maker and by independent parts listings alike. Burner, combustion chamber, fan and control items are read against the plate exactly as it is stamped. |
| OSV-600SDAI | OSV incinerators · SDAI | Sunflame | The SDAI version stands next to the SAI version of the same size. Because the two are different types, door, refractory and burner items are never moved from one parts list to the other on the strength of the figures. The serial settles which build is installed, and other OSV sizes are read from their own plate in the same way. |
| SFFG II | Dual-fuel burners · larger boilers | Volcano | In Mitsubishi's dual-firing auxiliary boiler, SFFG II is the Volcano dual-fuel burner listed for the larger boiler sizes, and it can fire oil alone, gas alone or both together. Mitsubishi writes the type as SFFGII, and it is also seen with a space as SFFG II. Copy it the way the burner plate reads, with the serial number, because the oil side, the gas side and the flame monitoring items are all listed against that particular burner build. |
| Vignis | Dual-fuel burners · smaller boilers | Volcano | Vignis is the Volcano dual-fuel burner that Mitsubishi lists for the smaller sizes of the same boiler, with a Sunflame SDR burner as the other choice there. It is a type of its own, not a smaller SFFG II, so an item is never carried from one parts list to the other just because both burners fire the same fuels. Where the boiler documents name both Vignis and SDR, the plate on the burner front shows which one was fitted. |
Wear patterns, duty context and plate-reading advice from the maker pages. They help scope a request; they are not designations.
| Topic | Context | Maker | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burner head and control items | Wear and control parts | Riello | A burner request is usually a group of small items rather than one: nozzles, electrodes, the flame detector, the ignition transformer, the oil pump, the solenoid valve, the fan and the control box. List them against the burner type, and note the fuel actually in use, because that decides the nozzle and the pump. |
| Rotary cup · flame eye · flame eye relay | Wear and control parts | Sunflame | The rotary cup belongs to the burner, while flame eye and flame eye relay lines come up on Sunflame burner and incinerator requests alike. Each is read from its own marking and item number rather than from the unit's figure group. The relay and the control unit go the OEM route for the type in the parts list, so send the label of the removed relay with the unit plate. |
Nothing matches. Send the designation from the nameplate — we also quote items that are not listed here.
This list indicates coverage. It is not stock on hand and not a claim of affiliation with any manufacturer.
Part numbers are helpful, but plates, element drawings, manual pages and photographs can be enough to start cross-checking before supply routes are reviewed. The RFQ evidence checklist lets you tick off the evidence you hold and copy a summary into the request.
Yes. Send the boiler plate as written — maker, series letters and the figure group or suffix — plus the burner plate, and on a composite or exhaust gas unit say which side the item belongs to. That is usually enough to start cross-checking.
Not automatically. The burner carries its own type plate and is frequently a bought-in unit from a different maker, so send both plates. State the fuel actually in use as well, because it decides the nozzle and the pump.
From the element drawing rather than from the engine. Tube elements and stacks, soot blower parts, expansion joints and gaskets are quoted against the element the boiler is built from, not against the engine whose exhaust passes through it.
Yes. Add vessel / IMO, port, ETA and whether the unit is an auxiliary or exhaust gas boiler. This helps prioritize the supply route and align it with survey or service timing.
Send the boiler plate, the burner plate, the part reference or description, quantity and port/ETA. Photographs, element drawings, manual pages or Excel lists are welcome.
