29 ngpannor matade tv kompoundngmaskiner (fr dom yttre propellrarna) och en lgtrycksturbin fr mittenpropellern. 170 gubbar, 3,5 ton per dygn per gubbe ger 150 kg per timme per gubbe.
They were fuelled by burning coal, 6,611 tonnes of which could be carried in Titanic's bunkers, with a further 1,092 tonnes in Hold 3. The furnaces required over 600 tonnes of coal a day to be shovelled into them by hand, requiring the services of 176 firemen working around the clock.
