Detail of the preheater copper tubing coils.

High-pressure air from the torpedo's air flask section is admitted to the afterbody via a fitting on the turbine bulkhead. It passes through the large-diameter copper tubing, where the air is warmed by the turbine exhaust gases before being routed to the combustion flask.
