What is the difference between the engine of a tank and the engine of a regular car?

The T-72 tank, for example, used a 780-horsepower V12 diesel turbocharged engine, which was officially installed in 1939. In many technologies, it is no different from the current diesel engine, and it also adopts a water-cooled heat dissipation system, which is completely consistent with the civilian diesel engine. Of course, given the age of development of this engine, it does not have the high-pressure common rail fuel supply system found in today's diesel engines, but instead uses a mechanical fuel supply system that is not easily damaged and easy to repair.

It can be said that the biggest difference between the engine of the T-72 and today's civilian diesel engines lies in the degree of electrification. Wish.

There are three types of tank engines: gasoline, diesel, and gas turbines. Of course, gasoline engines have long been eliminated, but some of the M48s currently in service are still gasoline engines, but the power is low.

Gas turbines can use a variety of fuels, such as methanol, gasoline, and diesel, but the disadvantage is that the fuel consumption is high, and the car is simply impossible to use from economic considerations.

In the case of diesel tank engines, the biggest differences are in the cooling, lubrication, oil supply and fire extinguishing systems.

The working conditions of the tank are generally very harsh, and it is necessary to have 2-3 sets of cooling systems to ensure the normal operation of the engine in the event of damage.

Each cylinder of the tank has an independent water-cooled circulation system, and the lubrication system and oil supply system generally adopt a similar design idea as the cooling system, that is, to maximize the survivability of the engine in the event of an attack.

Everyone knows that the power of the tank is very strong, so what is the structural difference between its engine and the gasoline engine? Below there is a foreigner disassembling a tank engine that has been in ash for more than 25 years, and we can just get a glimpse of it.

The debate about whether modern main battle tanks will be powered by diesel engines or gas turbines has long been debated, but in the end there is no one conclusion. At present, except for the American "Abrams" and Russia's T-80U main battle tanks, which use gas turbines, the vast majority of other main battle tanks still use diesel engines. However, the development of gas turbines remains strong.

Russia is not only equipped with T-80U main battle tanks equipped with gas turbines, but also has developed a series of gas turbines, such as the GTD-1000, GTD-1250 and GDT-1500. Russian gas turbine expert Valery Morozov believes that gas turbines are superior to diesel engines in many ways: first, it takes only 1 minute to start a gas turbine, while to start a diesel engine it first has to be warmed up, and then according to convention, it takes another 30 minutes to start; second, the gas turbine does not stall when the vehicle is driving in the mud, or when passing through vertical obstacles, which is not possible with a diesel engine; Thirdly, the speed of the T-80U tank with a gas turbine is 10 kilometers an hour higher than that of the T-90 tank, which is very advantageous for the tank on the battlefield; Fourth, gas turbines do not require radiators, water, antifreeze or other coolants, thus eliminating the need for bulky and complex coolant supplies.

Gas turbines have a longer service life than diesel engines, and their wear resistance is twice or even three times that of diesel engines. To sum up, the gas turbine is simpler to operate and easy to maintain, and it only takes 4 hours to overhaul 1 gas turbine, while it takes 24 hours to overhaul 1 diesel engine.

Although the fuel consumption of a gas turbine is about 20%-30% higher than that of a diesel engine, when the vehicle is stopped, the gas turbine is turned off and the auxiliary power unit supplies power to the vehicle, thereby saving fuel. Gas turbines do not consume lubricants when they work, and the gas burns sufficiently, so the exhaust gases are clean and do not pollute the environment. In Russia, gas turbines also have a higher power output than diesel engines, up to 250 horsepower.

Some tanks have 8 cylinders, and Mercedes Benz has 12 cylinders.

Chinese tanks basically use diesel engines, which are powerful and fuel-efficient.

American tanks have gasoline engines with high maximum cross-country speeds.

Ordinary vehicles use gasoline engines, *** also use gasoline engines, and tractors use diesel engines.

More horsepower, more fuel consumption, heavier engine mass, more durable.

The engine of the tank is more powerful and consumes more fuel.

Such a simple question. The tank's engine needs to work in extreme environments, even under artillery fire. This is the most fundamental difference. Think for yourself about the other differences.

That's absolutely different, tanks are for the needs of war, and ordinary cars are different.

Is this dragging? Yesterday's know**, see for yourself.

The engine of the T80 tank is the engine of ***, so it is added with aviation kerosene.

The types of modern tank engines are:

Tank diesel engine: Since May 1954, when the Su-34 medium tank first used a high-power diesel engine, the vast majority of modern tanks use high-speed diesel engines, and few gasoline engines have been used. This is a good economy for diesel engines, that is, in the case of carrying the same capacity of fuel, the maximum stroke of a diesel engine with the same power is twice that of a gasoline engine.

Moreover, on the battlefield, diesel engines and gasoline engines are not easy and safer. According to statistics, modern tank diesel engines are mostly multi-cylinder), V-shaped (the angle between the two rows of cylinders is °) up-stroke diesel engines (there are also opposing two-strokes). According to its cooling method, there are two kinds of tank diesel engines: water-cooled and air-cooled.

Gas Turbines: Although the application of gas turbines to tanks has been studied for decades, only the M-1 main battle tank in the United States has officially adopted it as a power plant for main battle tanks.

Twin power units: On the Swedish S tank, a dual power plant with a counter-piston two-stroke water-cooled diesel engine and a gas turbine in parallel was used.

The vast majority of modern tanks are diesel, with only the early models of the Maozi T80 and the M1 series in the United States using gas turbines. The gas turbine here is indeed derived from aviation power technology, but it is already a system of vehicle stuff that is decelerated by the output of the turbine shaft through the gears.

Generally, it is a turbocharged multi-cylinder high-power diesel engine, with a power of 1000 to 1500 horsepower and a volume of about cubic meters. Germany's Leopard II series, Britain's Challenger II series, China's 99 series, 96 series, 59-69 series, Soviet Russia's T-72 series T-90 series, Israel's Merkava series, etc., all use diesel engines.

There are also gas turbines, such as the T-80 of Soviet Russia and the M-1 Abrams of the United States, the power is almost around 1500 horsepower, but the volume is much smaller, and the fuel is not picked, diesel and kerosene can be burned, but it is too oil-intensive, and the maintenance in dusty areas is also particularly troublesome, and the pressure on logistics is very great, so other countries rarely use it.

The more powerful the tank's engine, the faster it starts, and the faster it accelerates, and the top speed can be higher.

The unit power of the tank refers to the ratio of the rated power of the tank engine to the total combat weight of the tank, which is generally expressed in kilowatt tons or horsepower tons, and is an important index for evaluating the mobility of the tank. The unit power of the tank has a great impact on the maximum speed, off-road driving speed, steering speed and average speed of the tank, especially the acceleration time and acceleration distance of the tank. In addition, for a tank that can float, it will greatly affect its surface maneuverability.

However, when the unit power exceeds 22 kilowatt tons (25-30 horsepower tons), the acceleration time of the tank on different ground is not much different, and it is of little practical significance to continue to increase the unit power. Therefore, as far as the acceleration of the tank is concerned, its unit power of 18-22 kilowatts is more appropriate, and the unit power of the main battle tanks of modern countries is mostly about 20 kilowatts.

Tanks in World of Tanks have weight, and tanks with a large tonnage need a powerful engine to support them. For example, the maximum speed of a heavy tank is 30, and it takes 6 seconds to reach 30 with the engine of a whiteboard car, and only 2 seconds with a high-power engine. And when the tank hits, there is damage, this depends on the tonnage and speed of the tank, just like a little leopard to hit the Tiger self-propelled gun, it must be the little leopard who dies.

So a high-power engine is necessary for any tank.

Can run, 100 bar yards are the lowest speed, dozens of t things, what concept, the war is slow to be locked, time is victory.

The power of the engine in the World of Tanks game directly affects the acceleration ability of the vehicle in the game.

The speed of travel on various terrains has been increased. The common saying is to run fast. Different effects on different tanks.

For light tanks, the life of the engine. The light tank is the first to develop the engine and tracks, and the engine gives the light tank speed. Light up on the battlefield and hit the enemy's artillery and TD (anti-tank). The speed of movement and the path of the light tank are crucial.

For artillery and TD, it's tank traverse speed. Because artillery and TD are most afraid of chrysanthemums after being exploded. Directional steering speed is important.

I don't have anything to say about the heavy tank, and I feel that it is to reduce the load of the tank. The heavy tank's cannon is very heavy, and the heavy tank has to develop and track the engine to install the best gun.

All of the above is a personal opinion! Hope it helps. Thank you
