Industrial and marine gas turbine engines typically require a radial or axial exhaust collector/diffuser to redirect exhaust gases while minimizing backpressure. MDS Exhaust Collector/Diffusers(C/D) for the GE LM2500/LM6000 series of industrial gas turbines and the Rolls-Royce Trent Marine and Industrial gas turbines have been field proven in demanding test facility and industrial applications in North America and Europe.

Key features:

When used as an ejector, the silencer/ exhaust tube and C/D set act together to form an ejector pump. As high velocity air is ejected from the C/D into the silencer/exhaust tube, test cell air is entrained into the stream and ejected from the test cell along with the exhaust gases. This ensures that there is a steady flow of air through the test cell when the engine is in operation.

• Available hard-ducted or for use with an ejector system
• Made from welded stainless steel assemblies and available in various sizes
• Proven reliability in applications with excessive thermal cycling
• Available with standard straight discharge or angled discharge, depending on engine type and test cell configurations
• Diffuser profiles are spun to tight dimensional specifications for radial diffuser configurations
• Engine exhaust interface can be customer defined or else consist of MDS proven piston seal arrangement
• Mounting configurations can accommodate thermal growth of engine
• Wrapped in flexible removable insulation blankets covered in fibreglass fabric to reduce heat emissions into the test cell, provide personnelsafety, and reduce thermal cycling of the collector/diffuser.

The MDS C/D design can be adapted to any engine size or type.
