Flow of exhaust gas through the exhaust manifolds (60 Hz arrangement)
The 60 Hz arrangement has two turbochargers.
The exhaust manifolds are located on the sides of the engine. Exhaust gas flows from each cylinder head through intermediate exhaust manifolds that are connected by bellows in order to form a passage to the turbocharger turbine.The dry exhaust manifolds provide maximum heat to the turbine. The exhaust manifolds are covered with insulated heat shields in order to retain the heat. The heat shields also help protect the wiring and other components from the heat.
