C1983 Small in Size and Powerful in Power
Qin Guan could feel his eyelids twitching.
Qin Guan wasn't worried about the gas turbine, although it had many advantages. But just one weakness was enough, and that was the fuel consumption. Therefore, now that Boris had taken the initiative to test it on his own side, he actually didn't need to worry. After all, the fuel consumption of this kind of gas turbine was something that few countries could bear.
However, this 6TD engine was different. This was the standard of Khaled Tank in the history of Parallel Spacetime.
For a tank, the smaller the engine, the greater its power. The better the effect. Looking at the western tanks, the height of the front and back were different. The back was more than ten centimeters higher because the engine in the Engine Compartment was too large. If it wasn't high enough, it wouldn't be enough.
This way, when the tank gun Tower turned backward, the shooting angle of the pagoda was not as high as the one in front of it.
This was also useful in a tank battle. Being chased by the enemy, I can only turn the turret backwards to hit the enemy. However, the armor-piercing bullets of his own side had limited performance. When he could not tear apart the enemy's Main Armor, then he would have to hit the enemy's tracks. If the barrel's angle was limited, then... It wouldn't be enough.
As for the tanks in Bear Country, they were flat from front to back. This was because the engine of the tanks in Bear Country was very small. This was also caused by the different ideas of the two parties.
Looking at the 1500 horsepower engine used in Han Country, it was a V12 engine. It was completely using the most conventional way to increase the power and the output. It reached 47 liters, and the speed increased to 2600 revolutions. And thus, the power, quality, and reliability were obtained. Long life, low fuel consumption, almost no malfunctions... But... Its size was huge.
In comparison, Bear Country preferred small and high-power tank engines, so they were more interested in the two-pronged engine.
The engine had four pronged engines, which were compressed into gas. The ordinary engine was completed after two revolutions, and the piston moved back and forth twice.
As for the second charge, it was compressed into one circle. The piston was completed after one cycle. One cycle. Just do it once. So, in the same situation of the same amount of displacement, theoretically, a two-pronged engine has the potential to double the power of a four-pronged engine.
Of course, there would be a certain amount of wear and tear, which could only reach about 1.7 times. This also meant that under the same volume, the power would be 1.7 times the power of the four-pronged engine, which was very suitable for tanks.
Under such circumstances, they developed a 5TD engine. This was a very unique level of engine for five gas tanks. Compared to the 12 gas tanks for the V-12 engine, it only had five, but it had ten piston. Because piston moved to both sides, forming a strange way. The total displacement was only 13.5 liters, and the maximum speed of 3000 revolutions per minute was 426 kilowatts of power. After that, through the enhancement of the Mech and the optimization of composite hydraulic devices, the power of the 5TDF engine was increased to 515 kilowatts. The speed of rotation was reduced to 2800 revolutions per minute, becoming the T-64's power system.
5TD was equivalent to five gas tanks, and it had such a huge power. After that, in order to provide the T-80 with an engine, another gas tank was added on top of it, turning it into 6TD.
Although the T-80 used a gas turbine and had served in the Equipment Department for many years, from the feedback of the army, the fuel consumption of a gas turbine was quite high, so there was still a need for diesel.
They made improvements to this type of engine, except for the addition of an gas tank. They also improved the hydraulic device. In the end, the power of the 6TD-2 engine reached 883 kilowatts. And lowered the speed of the engine to 2,600 revolutions per minute, enough power... The volume was not bad, and the reliability was also increased.
Thus, after repeated comparisons, Sanctity Country finally chose this type of engine. It was installed on their Khaled Tank. Later on, because of the war, the Sanctity Country urgently purchased a batch of T-80 tanks, which was one of the main reasons. It was the inheritance of this engine. The same engine could help to reduce logistical support.
Right now, Han Country was developing new tanks for Sanctity Country. However, in terms of engine, there was really no suitable one.
Han Country's own engine had decent power. 1,500 horsepower. It was the strongest, but at the same time, it was also very large. The cost was expensive, and the ratio was reduced to 1200 horsepower? Or should he increase the power of his own engine?
This was not realistic.
But now, when the news of the research and development of the tank in Sanctity Country spread, Boris actually brought this type of engine over. Then, would Sanctity Country choose this kind of engine?
Just as Qin Guan was thinking about these questions, a forklift was already driving over. Although it was called an engine, it was actually a complete power unit. Besides the engine, there was also a transmission.
"I think it can be installed in our third sample car for testing. The size of this engine looks very small."
Their own 79 tank was stuffed with 1500 horsepower engines. The capacity of the Engine Compartment was much larger than the T-80. If they stuffed this tank in now, they would definitely face a problem of not being able to match it. This was not a problem of adding more noodles and more water.
Sample car number 3? When he heard Elder Zhu's words, Qin Guan was stunned once again. The Factory 6617 he saw in Grassland City this time were all new things. What was this model car number three?
"President Qin, when you gave us the blueprint, our factory followed it. Sir produced a sample car, and now, it should have all been built. The only thing missing is the parts inside. Now it seems... These two types of power units were about the same size. It's like it's designed specifically for you." Elder Zhu whispered to Qin Guan.
Qin Guan immediately understood.
When he mentioned the Khaled Tank project, he was excited. He casually exchanged the information and gave it to the Factory 6617. Originally, he wanted them to be prepared. When the people of Sanctity Country arrived, however, the people here were even more anxious. After obtaining the information, they started building the vehicle. The body of the vehicle had already been built!
They really had a lot of money! Along with the continuous exports of military equipment, the domestic military factories were all very wealthy. Their little gold reserves were ample.
"Invite our guests to stay in the guest house first." Qin Guan said.
When Elder Zhu spoke just now, he was very quiet. After all, Boris was an outsider. This kind of research and development could not be revealed to Boris.2
Boris had come from afar. He would stay here for a few days first. After all, he had come uninvited. It would be easier for them to discuss it with each other. When they got on the car, they could also practice it.
