Abstract
Weight, noise and response difficulties in boilers utilized in torpedoes are eliminated in a construction including a housing having an interior wall, defining a chamber with at least one oxidant inlet. A plurality of working fluid conduits each have an inlet and an outlet exterior of the housing and heat exchange section within the chamber. Each heat exchange section is a plural convolution coil and the individual convolutions of each conduit are interleaved with the individual convolutions of the other conduits. Valves control the flow of working fluid through at least some of the conduits independently of the others.
