The news is not confirmed, but…
It seems well that a new boiler for Mélusine is at a quite advanced stage!
Here is the proof with the comments of Jean-Jacques:
"New breath for Mélusine?
Our accomplice and good buddy Jean Yves, having taken part in our constructions of the 3 boilers of the Blackstaff type, has had the good idea to take again the techniques of working of the copper serpentines, which we had worked out collègialement, to build one for him, simpler (welding and assembly) and of larger heating surface (2 m ² and + if necessary).
Some drawings, managed with his friend and accessory Bruno, a little milling of steel parts, a good amount of patience for the development and the installation of the 16 copper serpentines, some rules of conformities in the work of the arc welding, (imperatively to read the article of François in Vapors n° 6 - “Elements of drawing of the boilers”, before any improvisation), and you have a very beautiful animal of race.
It is a vertical boiler of Olfeld type, with less than 25 liters of capacity, Eric has equipped an identical boiler (concept) on it steamboat Ondine.
They have just received the casing, this last Saturday September 10, the cone and the grids of hearth, all in stainless steel, which will accomodate the pressure vessel, and the next months are planned for the external and thermal protections.
It is not a secret, to reveal you that this new boiler will replace initially, copper Blackstaff of the Mélusine, and of false rumours, leave think that our friend Bruno, owner of this boat, confident of this power of heating (2 m ², even +), could devote himself to the joys of the water skiing ...... go, go!!! don't dream!
One will follow with much interest, the evolution of this work, and his installation on board of Mélusine.
Cheer Jean Yves and Bruno, and thank you to give to the following, the desire for building.
Cordially Jean Jacques."
PS: Quiz question: knowing that Jean Yves measures 1.70 m (+/- 1cm), what is the one of the boiler, the winner will have the privilege to put the first sticks to launch a heating.
With Jean-Yves who worked much there!
The casing, all stainless steel please!
Beautiful animal, highly a picture fully equipped!
