How do condensing steam locomotives remove oil from the water? I know how shipboard systems do it but there is much less space on a locomotive.
For one example of how it was done, perhaps refer to the following ILE paper:
Class "25” Condensing Locomotives on the South African Railways - Design and Operating Experiences
By Prof. Dr.-Ing. R. Roosen (Henschel-Werke)
ILE (Institution of Locomotive Engineers) Paper #607, 1960 March
It contains a section entitled:
4. Water cycle and extraction of oil from the exhaust steam
(Too long to transcribe and include here.)
