<p>Arrangement for a thermal, steam-powered engine (3-14) in a submarine vehicle, for example a torpedo (1). A condenser (15) is so arranged as to separate the exhaust from the engine into a condensable exhaust fraction and into a non-condensable exhaust fraction. A compressor (6, 7), which is connected to the engine for the purpose of silencing, is so arranged as to compress only the non-condensable exhaust fraction which, after compression, is discharged through an exhaust outlet (28) into the surrounding sea water. The condenser (15) is in the form of a sleeve which for silencing purposes encloses both the engine and the compressor. A sound-deadening gap (31) is arranged between the condenser (15) and the hull (1) of the vehicle.</p> |
