This heavy duty, short stroke, twin is built in two types. The compound expansion type is
for single direction rotation such as generating service. The single expansion type is
for marine or other use where reversing is desired. Steam cutoff may be built short or
long as desired.
Plans include drawings for both configurations. Both of these engines are
high speed type, with spool valves and totally enclosed configuration for long hard service.
Casting kit weighs about 125 lbs. and finished engine is 120 lbs.
- In the lower horsepower and pressure range, we recommend our 4 - 7 HP Ofeldt boiler.
- At higher pressures and horsepower, the
15 - 40 HP Ofeldt
would be better,
especially when fitted to our Panatela or Gypsy boats.
Recommendations, that go along with...

If you do not have a PDF reader (software to let you look at, even print, a PDF) you can go to
adobe.com (never use a PDF reader that wasn't made by adobe, the inventors of PDF), or click
here: the One True Adobe PDF Reader - Download.
(Personally, we would turn off their "free offers" prior to clicking the download button [those are for non-Adobe products], but that's your call.)
BTW: "PDF" stands for Portable Document Format. It's just a secure way (the secure way, actually) to move documents around electronically.

HP (in this context) means Horse Power.
(Of course you know that; just being thorough.) It's a unit of power equal to 550
foot-pounds per second
or 735.5 (or 746 -- believe it not, opinions vary)
watts, and is the usual
measure of the amount of work an engine can do.
Oddly enough, not that closely related to the amount of work a Horse can do! (Go figure.)
See Does one horsepower really equal the power of one horse? (at www.carkeys.co.uk) for more information on that subject.
