Why don t most tanks have air conditioning?

So far, in various countries, almost all tanks are without air conditioning, the days without air conditioning in summer can be imagined, why can't the tank be equipped with air conditioning, the tank as a big guy driving on land, the shell belongs to the metal structure, driving in the hot sun in summer, absorbing so much heat, the internal temperature is too high, the tank operator often can't stand the high temperature, if you install an air conditioner at this time, it is not a large extent to reduce the temperature inside the tank, so that the comrades can also have a cool environment. Why can't you install an air conditioner?

On the one hand, the reason is that now the anti-tank technology of various countries is becoming more and more powerful, and it can detect other parts of the tank such as the engine according to infrared technology, and once an abnormality is found, the opponent's anti-tank ** will bombard the position where the infrared rays are released, which can be said to be quite deadly.

Unless the country's science and technology are very strong, so strong that they can't even scan infrared rays, in order to meet their own needs, otherwise because in order to solve the cause of too hot, they expose their positions and eventually lose their lives, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

On the other hand, if the tank is equipped with an air conditioner, it needs an external unit, and at the same time, it needs electricity for the operation of the air conditioner. Usually, the power consumption of an air conditioner is very large. The tank is a very limited space and resources, the main role of the tank is to carry out firepower output, and protect the soldiers in the back row, once the air conditioning is installed, it means that a part of the space will be allocated to the air conditioner, but also to prepare enough electricity for the use of air conditioning, in this way, greatly increase the cost of tank construction, the original tank will need millions of dollars, so that the cost will increase significantly.

China's Chinese VT4 main battle tank is equipped with air conditioning, and the price of a VT4 main battle tank is 5.8 million US dollars. It integrates the latest high-tech, optoelectronics, new materials, and information technology of China's armored vehicles, and its comprehensive performance has reached the world's advanced level, with a total weight of 52 tons and a 125 mm smoothbore gun.

At present, China's VT4 main battle tank sales in the international market are very good, Thailand has twice a year to buy China's VT4 main battle tank in large quantities, it can be seen that Thailand has tasted the sweetness, but also our military ** affirmation.

Of course, the United States also has an air-conditioned tank, which is the M1A2 main battle tank. However, the US military air conditioning is not for the soldiers inside the tank, mainly because the tank is equipped with the most advanced inter-vehicle information system and battlefield management system, and has installed a lot of independent thermal imagers and other electronic equipment, these things themselves have a large amount of heat dissipation, once there is no air conditioning, a high temperature will cause the electronic equipment to stop running, and some are repeatedly like this, it is very easy to short-circuit, and even the danger of **.

Therefore, if there is real strength, it is still possible to install air conditioning on the tank, and if there is money and technology, then everything is not a problem, but for some small countries, a tank worth millions of dollars is a big expense. The servicemen on the tank must also want to be equipped with the corresponding air conditioning, after all, everyone wants a comfortable environment.

Because the interior space of the tank is small, installing an air conditioner will be very power-consuming and will take up space; In addition, there is no place to hang the air conditioner; And it consumes a lot of electricity, which consumes the energy of the tank.

For soldiers, tanks are used for combat, so there is no need to enjoy them, and installing air conditioning will also share energy and increase the burden.

Because the installation of the air conditioner is absolutely deadly, the infrared signature of the air conditioner is quite large relative to other tank components such as the engine, and when facing the observation and sighting system of the opponent's main battle tank and advanced infrared guided missiles, a little excess infrared radiation is fatal, so most of the main battle tanks in the world will not consider the air conditioning system, unless you have an absolute war advantage over the other side.

In the Middle East war, the Egyptian tank troops were fainted by the heat before they could start fighting. Or even simply drive directly to the halfway point of the battlefield, abandon the tank and escape.

Because the tank man sits inside, if an air conditioner is installed, it will produce more noise and cause great damage to people's ears.

It is very unsafe for the tank to install air conditioning, if the air conditioning is installed, the infrared signature on the tank will be very obvious, and it is easy to be found by the enemy on the battlefield.

Yes, if there is no air conditioning, the electronics inside will go on strike.

The most feared thing about electronic equipment is that it cannot dissipate heat, and the heat at work is very large, and it will burn out if it is not specialized, and now the main battle tanks in the world basically have air conditioning, such as M1A2 and Challenger.

China's 99 and 96 such as Luck and Lyle, T-90 and so on are also equipped with air conditioning, and the main battle tanks and armored vehicles are generally air-conditioned, as well as air filtration systems, and the main battle tanks are all three-defense, and they are fully enclosed during the battle, and there is an air filtration system, which is mainly used for ventilation.

With the continuous improvement of the country's scientific and technological level, the continuous progress of tank power supply and storage technology has made the tank power supply more than redundant, in order to solve the environmental problems in the cabin.

It provides the foundation and premise, especially for air conditioning systems that consume a lot of electricity.

The tank can be equipped with air conditioning.

Main battle tanks and armored vehicles are generally not air-conditioned, and they are all copied by air filtration systems, which are not considered air conditioners. The main battle tanks are all three-defense, and they are fully enclosed during the battle, and they are not equipped with air conditioning considering the space in the car, but they have an air filtration system, which is mainly used for ventilation. Moreover, the power on the vehicle is very precious during the war, and it will not be wasted on air conditioning at all.

With the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological level, the continuous progress of tank power supply and storage technology has allowed the tank power to have excess power, in order to solve the environmental problems in the cabin.

The foundation and premise are provided, especially for air-conditioning systems that consume a lot of electricity.

Yes, if there is no air conditioning, the electronics inside will go on strike.

The most feared thing about electronic equipment is that it cannot dissipate heat, and the heat is very large when it is working, and it will burn out if it is not specialized, and now the main battle tanks in the world basically have air conditioning, such as M1A2, Challenger, Luck, Lehr, T-90, etc. China's 99 and 96 are also equipped with air conditioning, and the main battle tanks and armored vehicles are generally air-conditioned, and the air filtration system is copied, and the main battle tanks are three-defense, and they are fully enclosed during the battle, and there is an air filtration system, mainly for ventilation.

With the continuous improvement of the country's scientific and technological level, the continuous progress of tank power supply and storage technology has made the tank power have excess power, which provides the foundation and premise for solving the environmental problems in the cabin, especially the air conditioning system with large power consumption.

Modern main battle tanks often cost tens of millions, but there are many countries whose tanks do not even have air conditioning, why is this? It's not that easy to do.

The most important reason is that the current tanks are equipped with more and more sophisticated electronic equipment, in order to ensure that all kinds of delicate electronic equipment can operate normally in a high-temperature environment, the current advanced main battle tanks are equipped with air conditioning, which is incidental to cooling the crew. China's 99A, Type 15 light tank, VT-4, the United States M1A2SEP, the German Leopard-2A7, the French Leclerc tank, the British Challenger, the Russian T-90M, T-14 Armata tanks are equipped with air conditioning systems, and the answer to the so-called tank not equipped with air conditioning is nonsense.

The tank can be equipped with air conditioning.

With the continuous improvement of China's scientific and technological level, the continuous progress of tank power supply and storage technology has given the tank power a surplus power, which provides the basis and premise for solving the environmental problems in the cabin, especially the air-conditioning system with large power consumption.

On this basis, while understanding the problems of fighters, while tapping their combat potential, in the past few years, together with a number of scientific research institutes, has been in-depth research and research of more than 10 armored units, breaking through the problems of "balance between power supply and consumption" and "system optimization and coordination", and successfully developed a tank cabin environmental control system including an air-conditioning system, and embedded the system into a new type of main battle equipment.

The power of the air-conditioning system equipped with this type is about 4 kilowatts, and a total of 8 air outlets are set up in the cabin, which forms a "cold air surrounding" for the crew by "winds from all sides", ensuring that the temperature in the cabin is 5 degrees Celsius lower than that outside the cabin during the summer march, creating a "warm in winter and cool in summer" cabin environment.

The main reason is that the current tanks are equipped with more and more electronic equipment, in order to ensure the normal operation of various electronic equipment in a high temperature environment, the advanced main battle tanks are now equipped with air conditioning, which is incidental to the auxiliary function of cooling the crew. China's 99A, Type 15 light tank, VT-4, the United States M1A2SEP, the German Leopard-2A7, the French Leclerc tank, the British Challenger, the Russian T-90M, T-14 Armata tanks are equipped with air conditioning systems.

There was no before, but there are now.

If you don't turn on the air conditioner when driving under the sun, I'm afraid few people can stand it. There are often reports of people forgetting their children in the car and dying within hours. It can be seen that under the sun exposure, the environment inside the car is harsh.

But compared with the tank composed of all iron gada, the sedan does not turn on the air conditioning in summer, which is trivial.

In the final analysis, the technical conditions are not up to par!

In fact, the phenomenon of heat stroke in the tank is not uncommon, for example, when Egypt was conducting summer tank training, due to the high temperature, nearly a third of the people suffered from heat stroke within 40 minutes, and two people were killed by heat, and it is said that the temperature in the tank was as high as 70 degrees at that time, which was even more terrifying than a steamer.

Then some people say that the cost of the tank is as high as several million, and the general air conditioner can be done for thousands of dollars, compared with the cost of the tank, it is simply a drop in the bucket, and installing an air conditioner on the tank is not over?

However, adding air conditioning to a tank is not as simple as the average person thinks.

The maneuverability of the tank is very strong, but it is very easy to bump in unstable areas, and if civilian air conditioners are installed on the tank, these air conditioners are simply not enough to withstand such bumps, which can easily cause damage to the air conditioner and cannot operate normally.

Therefore, the idea of adding civilian air conditioners to tanks is not practical, so it is possible to install special air conditioners only on tanks, what is a special air conditioner?

That is the use of air compression and expansion of the principle, the hot air away, however, the efficiency of refrigeration is very low, completely inferior to civil air conditioning, and more importantly, special air conditioning needs mechanical high-speed operation to do, extremely fuel consumption.

Because of this, for a long time, only the M1A2 and T-80U, two gas turbine power tanks, could be equipped with turbine air refrigeration devices, while ordinary diesel tank engines did not meet the requirements of special air conditioning at all.

Of course, with the advancement of technology, it is not impossible to pretend to have a powerful air conditioner on the tank, and it may not be long before this problem is solved.

Yes, there are new ones, the air conditioner on the 155 self-propelled howitzer exported by our country has been well received by foreign armies, and it has been introduced on "Weapon Knowledge", I can't remember what year it is, but what I remember more clearly is that an officer of the foreign army said that our air conditioner is good and cool, and the air conditioner of the American M1 tank is like a fan,..

The current tank cab in China does not have air conditioning, but there is a cooling device that has the same effect as air conditioning.

1.Personnel and all kinds of equipment will generate heat when working, and if there is no cooling device, then the temperature in the car will soon be so high that the personnel and equipment cannot work.

2.For the cooling of equipment, forced air cooling is generally used, and personnel cooling generally uses "cooling vests", that is, special combat uniforms with cooling functions for members.

3.Armored vehicles in tropical countries are generally equipped with air conditioning units, and foreign Russian T-90M, T -80UM-2 and T -72BM-2 also have air conditioning systems.
