In addition, the boiler system of the present invention includes new and improved means for heating water to about 180.degree. F. to produce steam for use in generating power, such as in a steam locomotive railroad engine pulling up to at least 150 cars. The present invention also, in addition, provides the steam generating raw and distilled water supplies in indirect heat exchange closely adjacent the boiler in order to take advantage of the boiler for maintaining heating of the water supplies. Furthermore, the boiler system of the present invention provides means for recycling the combustion gases back into the combustion chamber whereby to enhance the heat producing efficiency of the boiler system.
