Lempor ejector

Victorian Railways R class locomotive R 711 was equipped with dual Lempor exhausts in 1998 (since removed).

The Lempor ejector is a steam locomotive exhaust system developed by noted Argentine locomotive engineer Livio Dante Porta. The ejector's name is a portmanteau of the names of Porta and Belgian locomotive engineer Maurice Lemaître. The Lempor ejector follows the principles of the de Laval nozzle.[1]
