My German Empire

Janik convened the head of Mercedes, Mercedes, Skoda, and Porsche, discussed the development progress of the tank engine.

"His Royal Highness, there are currently several new motives that can be put into mass production. Maybach's HL230 gasoline engine, 700 horsepower; Mercedes (Mercedes) company MB 507 water-cooled diesel engine, constant power is 700 hp, short limit Power 850 hp; Porsche's 16-air-cooled diesel engine, 750 horsepower; KHD's T8 M118 V8 two stroke water-cooled diesel engine, the maximum power is 800 hp.

In addition, there is a HL 234 gasoline engine that is about to develop, the power can reach 900 horsepower; MB 507 water-cooled diesel engine of Mercedes (Mercedes), the constant power is 850 hp, and the short-term limit power is 1000 horsepower. "

Niki nodded, and the heart of Maibach is completely a monopoly of the gasoline engine.

So far, German tanks have been used in gasoline engines. The heavy tanks who are hesitant to put into production are continued to use gasoline engines or to change diesel engines.

The original time and space started from the 1st tank, always tired and tireless on the road to the gasoline engine. At that time, the HL230 engine of the Black Panther was the smallest, most economical, the most powerful, and the largest amount of 600 horsepower, which was not a very mature diesel engine. This is also a black panther. The fair is one of the best causes of the best medium-sized tank design in World War II.

As for why the German tanks do not have to engine with diesel engine, many military fans believe that Germany lack of fuel, and most of the diesel is allocated to the Navy to meet the needs of marine engines. However, although the gasoline should be used as a standardized fuel in the name of the German Army, during the World War II, the various factories in the German War Economic system produced more than 150,000 military diesel vehicles, making the diesel engine in the Army motor. There is a place in the troops. For example, Mercedes-Benz L3000 is the model of Mercedes-Benz during World War II, and the larger L4500 also uses diesel power. In addition to Mercedes-Benz, the main military models of Buffin Nager, KHD and MAN and other plants are also dominated by diesel.

Moreover, the United States on the Atlantic Ocean is also a water gasoline engine tank (divided by two diesel engines M4A2, M4A4). The forego said that US oil production at the time accounted for more than half of the world, they did not lack of oil. Even if the United States has no diesel engine technology reserves, he assisted so many materials in the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union offers diesel engine technology is not a small matter?

And Americans also indeed studied the Dien 's diesel engine. In 1942, several Soviet tanks were transported to the US Eastern Maryland "Aberdeen Weapons Test Site", starting a series of tests, which have T-34, KV-1 and so on.

When T-34, T-34 was exercised after 343 kilometers, its engine was completely scrapped and unable to repair. Americans discover that it is tired of "Air Filter", and the engine does not get enough air to maintain full load operation of the engine. Moreover, a large amount of dust and particulate matter enters the cylinder, resulting in a decrease in cylinder wear.

The Soviet Union puts the V-2 diesel engine in the tank is not cost, the aluminum frame is also extremely short of the life of the engine while weighing. "Lucky" is that most T-34 can't support them, it is destroyed by the Germans, so that this shortcomings are not so awkward.

At that time, the Soviet Universities was a low-end versatile machine tool with a large number of technologies, and the United States and the United Kingdom have provided high-end machine tools to the Soviet Union, and the Special Machine Tool (USA provided 38.1 thousand machine tools to the Soviet Union, UK provided 6.5 thousand machine tools) The quality of the components manufactured has been improved.

Although T-34 is not ideal, Americans are not dead, installing GM-6046 engine and mechanical transmission of General Motors to M4 tanks, becoming M4A2 models. As a result, this satisfaction is less power than the most commonly used R-975 gasoline engine, but also more cumbersome than the Sherman series. M4A4 (installation Chrysler A57 Diesel Engine) used as an export is to extend the expansion of the vehicle body to facilitate the new power system, and this also affects M4A4's combat capabilities.

As a result, the US Army Armored Commander, Jacob, will be issued a command: All Army will not use diesel Sherman's operations outside the local (rear). The M4A2 and M4A4 produced are supported to other allies, or throw a marine team.

No matter what to say, think about the future of the military engine in the future, Janik knows that it is the most correct decision to follow up.

"How is the exhaust gas turbine boosting technology?" The diesel machine itself is low. To improve power, it is the easiest way to use boosting technology. There are two main mechanical boosts and exhaust turbines in the later generations, in which the exhaust gas turbine boosting technology is widely used due to higher energy efficiency ratio.

The principle is the high-temperature high-speed gas discharged from the internal combustion engine. The exhaust pipe is supplied to the turbine of the turbocharger, push the turbine rotation, and the turbine drives the carrier impeller rotation with its coaxial. The compressor compresses the inhaled air, improves the pressure of the pressure flows through the internal combustion engine intake pipe, supplies the cylinder, thereby achieving the purpose of boosting.

Moreover, this exhaust gas turbine boosting technology is not the advanced technology of the later generation. As early as 1905, the two engineers in Switzerland proposed a turbocharged plan, and early diesel engine was compressed and pulsed boosting system experiments. The exhaust gas turbocharged is used on the marine engine, and the air piston engine is also used in boosting technology.

Later generations are not only tanks using abandoned turbocharged technology. General power internal combustion engines such as trains, trucks, tanks, excavators, large construction machinery, ships, etc. have used this system. The engine power can be increased by 40% to 60%, or even more.

"Temple, the technology of exhaust turbine boosts has all been overcome, which can be put into use."

"Very good," Just announced that the newly developed tanks in the future, Jenik, who used the diesel engine, suddenly remembered gas turbine.

This can be dedicated to the first military strong country in the later generation (original Russian T-80 also used gas turbine, but it was discontinued, and the subsequent T-90 was changed back to diesel engine).

Do you want to use a gasoline engine, use more than ten years, then jump directly to the gas turbine?

Painting for a long time, Jenik also shook his head and gave up this idea. Even diesel engines, I am afraid that I can use it for 100 years. Moreover, leopard 2 with diesel engines will not be taken to M1.
