It would be my guess that the furnaces produced steam for heat and pipes ran it through the entire facility. Then they also used the same steam to produce electricity in the steam engines. Electric pumps for water, coal as the heat source and the place was off the power grid. Just keep trucking in coal and food.

One correction - they did not cool the engine with a water jacket. No need to. If anything that is insulated to keep it warm - keep the steam up to temp. setam is only - anyone remember? - 212 degrees. not hot enought to need cooling. nice pix. I would love to poke around there myself.

This is actually a rather large, stationary engine, probably diesel, if not that, then its steam. Often large facilities made their own power - this is the case here.
