Chapter 348 (1/2)
Although Wang Bin is looking forward to the marine electric engine with more than 100000 horsepower, the engine with more than 100000 horsepower is still under design at this time. There is still a long way to go until the design and manufacturing are completed.
Therefore, this matter is not in a hurry. The most important thing now is to complete the new scientific research task assigned by Huayi, so he said: ”Mr. Tang, we are not in a hurry for a marine engine with more than 100000 horsepower. After all, Tiangong shipbuilding has no plan to manufacture warships with more than 10000 tons, or even design.
So this time I called you here, not for this matter, but for another task.
Just now, I received a new R & D project from the superior department, which is the electric engine project of the land combat unit.
You must also know that at present, the land armored combat platforms in our country use oil extraction machines as power, even the main battle tanks are no exception.
Even if we look around the world, at present, the combat vehicles and tanks in various countries basically use diesel engines, and their horsepower basically does not reach 2000 horsepower. Even with some exceptions, they all use fuel engines, which is not much better. After all, where are the volumes of combat vehicles and tanks, and all these engines are oil tigers, so they are greatly reduced This limits the endurance and long-range mobile combat capability of these armored combat units such as combat vehicles.
However, the electric engine is different. With the battery capacity of our Tiangong technology, even if the horsepower of the engine reaches 2000 or even 3000 horsepower, it is easy to make armored units such as tanks and tanks have a endurance of thousands or even thousands of kilometers.
So the superiors hope that we can develop several electric engines for land combat units, ”Wang Bin said.
”Mr. Wang! I see. I don't know how many electric engines we need to develop? Does the superior have any requirements?” Tang Yu asked.
”At present, the superior has no specific requirements, but at least three kinds of engines are required, that is, the engines used by light, medium and heavy land combat units.
But according to my personal opinion, at least five models are needed.
The first is the electric engine of those ultra light combat units, whose engine horsepower is about 200 horsepower.
The second is the light armored combat unit, whose engine horsepower is about 500 horsepower.
The second is the engine of the medium armored combat unit, whose maximum output horsepower is 1000 horsepower.
Then there is the engine of the heavy land combat unit, which requires a maximum output power of 2000 horsepower.
Finally, the engines of super heavy land combat units must have a maximum output power of more than 3000 horsepower, and the volume of these engines must not exceed 50% of the engines with the same power. Even the largest engine, that is, the electric engine with more than 3000 horsepower, must not exceed us The size of the engine compartment of the country's current main battle tank.
In addition, this engine must also have the ability to adapt to a variety of environments, including extreme environments such as cold and hot. Even in water or vacuum environment, it must ensure that these engines can operate normally. After all, the combat environment of tanks is very complex.
