Wikipedia
donkey boiler
There have been a vast number of designs of steam boiler, particularly towards the end of the 19th century when the technology was evolving rapidly. A great many of these took the names of their originators or primary manufacturers, rather than a more descriptive name. Some large manufacturers also made boilers of several types. Accordingly, it is difficult to identify their technical aspects from merely their name. This list presents these known, notable names and a brief description of their main characteristics.

donkey boiler
A donkey boiler is a water-heating system consisting of a water-filled tank and a heat source. It is typically a small, standalone auxiliary boiler that's used for supplying hot water that is separate from the main boiler in ships, industrial complexes, or residential buildings. The term originated in the maritime industry where these boilers were used, being small enough to be operated, or "driven," by the ship's 'donkey' engine.
