Internal Fire Museum of Power - Browett, Lindley steam engine

Inverted vertical compound enclosed engine by Browett, Lindley, Works No. 2253, built 1913 and installed in HMS Tiger. It drives a Rees Roturbo 200 kW dynamo. The ship fought in the battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland, and survived. The vessel was scrapped in 1932 and the engine used at Storthes Hall Hospital, Huddersfield. The engine was latterly on standby until 1982 and was acquired by the National Maritime Museum and kept in store. It came to Internal Fire in 2017 and is now steamable but waiting for more boiler capacity.



Internal Fire was set up as a museum of the internal combustion engine but has branched into external combustion engines in the form of steam engines. This is in the first steam hall and is one of several significant items.
