Air Receivers & Pressure Vessels
September 21, 2015

Since making boilers for the admiralty in 1870 we continue to make compressed air start vessels for the main Diesel engines for Royal Navy contractors

The 1500 ltr 40 bar compressed air start receivers being painted here are designed and built to Lloyds Naval rules

Abbotts

The picture below this is of an old naval pinnace from the era when we made most of the boilers for them … but to be honest have no idea if it ever had our boilers in ? …. Nice boat though !
