Typo Correction: 10 bar equals 145 PSI. No Idea how the 0 got there.

Additional Information on Compound Engines:
When Steam expands in a Steam Engine, it cools down. The Cylinder Temperature is somewhere between the fresh Steam and exhaust Steam Temperature, usually about the middle. This causes Steam to condense on the Cylinder Walls when it enters the Cylinder. By having separate high and low Pressure Cylinders, you decrease the Temperature Reduction in each Cylinder and thus the Temperature Difference between fresh Steam and Cylinder Walls, thus reducing Condensation. Another Advantage is the Possibilty to reheat the Steam between the Cylinders, but that is rarely done in Piston Steam Engines and more of a Turbine Thing.

110 plus years ago. No computers or CNC machines, just Brains and Braun. This is amazing art in motion.........beautiful.

what a beautiful piece of machinery.  Kudos to the maintenance crew who keep this working in such class.

Beautiful machine. I loved seeing the LCD displays at the control station. Contrast old and new. Great video.

I grew up on the lake where these boats operate. They are always in top notch condition, very very clean. Every time I go back I make a trip on one of the boats and spend the whole time looking at the engine.

A Swiss watch runs just like that engine!🎉
JIM ❤

That’s the biggest Swiss Watch I’ve ever seen!  At least it runs like one.  Marvellous machinery from so long ago.  Interesting juxtaposition of ancient and modern technology working together!  Subscribed!

Beautiful engine room.
Runs like a jewel.
Thanks for sharing this.
Take care.

It's amazingly clean - they must have an army of volunteers to keep all the brass shiny and clean up all the oil drips!

Poetry in motion. A work of art.

I've always been fascinated by steam - I love the brass and glass Oilers

Stunning engine! Great video, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this great video! Very well done and An an amazing engine room!

What a beautifully presented piece of machinery, the maintenance crew should be very proud

It's pure engineering porn, steam engines are about as close to a living breathing machine as you can get. The people who are lucky enough to work on this ship/ boat have probably forgotten what work is. I feel a little envious but also proud that I have also worked with steam engines and can appreciate what a privilege it is to do so

Swiss engineering 😍  Just subscribed!

another splendid vid of a wonderful vessel - the finish on the engine is fantastic!!!!  going down to see the engines is a major part of cruising under steam!!! 😃😄😁

A wonderful video and explanation of a beautiful, marine steam engine. It obviously receives good maintenance by its appearance and cleanliness. All of its motions are quite fascinating to watch.

This ship and its sister ship, the "Stadt Rapperswil," are part of my childhood. We lived in a house by the lake, and they sailed past every day throughout the summer. We children would hold onto the rudder and let ourselves be pulled along! We called it steamboat surfing.

My God, that engine room is kept meticulous, everything looks brand new!
