Marine steam engine - Wikipedia
WEBTypes of marine steam engine. Animation of a typical vertical triple-expansion engine. A wide variety of reciprocating marine steam engines were developed over the course of the 19th century. The two main methods of classifying such engines are by connection mechanism and cylinder technology.
Compound steam engine - Wikipedia
WEBDouble-acting triple-expansion marine engine. High-pressure steam (red) passes through three stages, exhausting as low-pressure steam (blue) to the condenser. It is a logical extension of the compound engine (described above) to split the expansion into yet more stages to increase efficiency. The result is the multiple-expansion engine.
