Інтенсивність, з якою горить паливо, і яким чином встановлюється температура в топці, контролюється подачею повітря в топку. Кисень, що міститься в повітрі, розпалює вогонь.

The primary way to feed air to the firebox is by opening the regulator and cutoff fully, and propelling the vehicle. As the steam is expelled from cylinders out into the atmosphere through the chimney, with every gear cycle, it creates a vacuum in the firebox, drawing in fresh air.

Крім того, є два регулятори, призначені для регулювання тяги: сифон та піддувало

The blower is usually operated by a valve. When open, it releases some steam from the boiler to the chimney. This creates vacuum in the firebox, drawing in fresh air. However, since this airflow is vastly inferior to the acceleration airflow, the blower is only efficient when used on a stationary engine.

The damper is usually operated by a lever. When closed (pushed down) it chokes the airflow, drastically reducing fire temperature, even if the vehicle is accelerating. This is used to intentionally cut steam production when it is no longer needed, although doing so with a well-timed water injection is an even more efficient alternative.

-The most basic way the air gets fed into the firebox is simply by draft from opening the regulator and propelling the vehicle. As the steam from the cylinders is expelled through the blastpipe, it draws fresh air into the firebox with every cycle. The higher the cutoff setting the higher the draft.

-Blower is usually operated by a valve. When open, it releases steam from the boiler around the chimney area. This creates draft, bringing more air into the firebox. This is used when there is a desire to increase the temperature of the firebox, but not to accelerate, such as in the case of going downhill or being stationary. Having the blower open while accelerating is wasteful however, because the acceleration draft is superior and the blower in that case simply wastes steam into the atmosphere.
