Le Lapin Mal Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Just a general question to the P-47 Cgnoscenti out there about the Jug. What would the relative temperatures from the five main vents/exhausts on a P-47 be? I am guessing the Waste Gates on the nose after the Oil Cooler flap would have jetted hot air (and dirt) based on the pictures. Logically the ventral turbine exhaust would have done something similar...but what about the side Intercooler vents? Would they have had cold air flow, or would this too have been hot gas? Hope someone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The 'Waste Gates' under the nose dump excess engine exhaust gasses. The Turbocharger under the aft fuselage is the primary exit for the engine's exhaust gasses. The fuselage side 'Intercooler vents' normally would only allow the exit of cooling air.

Le Lapin Mal Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thank you Ron, that helps a lot, and explains why P-47's looked so clean by comparison to their cousins, the P-40 and P-51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
