WALTER M601E EXHAUST SYSTEM

Engine air path is terminated by the exhaust system.
It consist of two exhaust nozzles which direct hot gas from the exhaust system into
ambient atmosphere.
The nozzles change the direction of streaming gas from radial into approximately axial
direction, with a small deviation downwards. Exhaust nozzles are welded from stainless
steel.
Each exhaust nozzle consists of a flange, and a shell. The bends are attached to the outlet
duct on opposite sides in a horizontal plane.
Each nozzle, incl. its insert, is fastened to the flange of the outlet casing by means of bolts
and nuts.
