Composite boilers that mixes the diesel engines exhaust gases and the flue gases from the fuel oil burner.
Using the diesel engines exhaust gases as combustion air for the fuel oil burner is quite economically although it makes a rather complicated unit.
Starting, stopping and modulating the burner normally control the steam pressure in the composite boiler. In the old days a huge damper was used to by-pass the composite boiler when the steam demand was less than the quantity produced by diesel engines exhaust gases. Nowadays a control valve is used to dump excess steam into a steam dump condenser.
