The composite marine steam boiler is a combination of an oil-fired steam boiler and an exhaust gas economizer. When the diesel engine is at full load the fuel oil burner only starts if the steam demand exceeds the steam production achieved from the diesel engines exhaust gases.
Most common composite boilers nowadays have separated sections for the diesel engines exhaust gases and the flue gases from the fuel oil burners.The economizer part also works as a silencer for the diesel engine, but often an additional silencer is required.
