Exhaust Gas Blowing Manifold

The exhaust gas blow system used exhaust gas from the main engines to assist with blowing the tanks to raise the U-boat. A pipe extending forward from the main engine exhaust valves, to led forward to a manifold located over the control room. From the manifold, smaller pipes runs to 8 tanks around the u-boat. The eight associated valves in the manifold were operable from within the control room.

Hi Snowman,


thanks for the 3-D-drawings. To repeat myself I'am delighted with your thread.


Just one question about the sub construction of the wooden deck: Do you have a a complete top view of the metallic construction – from bow to stern?


Once again thanks for sharing and best regards!

The deck framing is about 80% finish. I am still working on it.

  • Most of the stern section is finish just need to check a few things.
  • The mid-section is finish (just remember that this deck frame is for a Type VIIC/41 and a late war Type VIIC, additional hatches and schnorchel).
  • Bow section is not finish, I need better wartime photo's of the framing to finish this section.

Below is a extra large version of the deck framing.

Either by luck or good design, I was able to match the small pipe around the vent valve for main ballast and reserve fuel oil tanks 2 and 4 on the starboard side of the U-Boat ;D

Hi Snowman,

thanks for the cap.

I suppose you know the attached photo (an internet find which I caught a few years ago). But I find it interesting to see the frame numbers noticed with chalk on the pressure hulk cap and the outlines of the hull layout too.

This photo was one of the key photo's I used to make my model. The chalk lines will be very useful later on when I add the casting to my model.
