The design bureau Malakhit successfully tested a sample of an air-independent power plant (VNEU) with a gas turbine engine designed for small submarines, the design bureau said.

VNEU - to be! Design Bureau "Malachite" successfully tested a sample of non-volatile installation




The prototype model of a VNEU with a closed-cycle gas turbine engine was successfully tested.
- it is spoken in the message "Malachite".

It is also noted that the cooperation of enterprises with which they will create a prototype VNEU has already been defined.

In June, 2017, the Lada submarine was reported to be the first to receive the latest engine. Later it became known that the St. Petersburg submarine would be repaired and modernized.

As previously reported, its air-independent power plant for non-nuclear submarines is also being created at the Rubin design bureau. The Russian Navy announced that they expect to receive a ready-made VNEU from Rubin in 2021-2022, reports TASS

            last year here on the site everyone was whining like everything is deplorable,
            and in recent months everyone has gradually shut up.
            Even “Andrei from Chelyabinsk” in his articles on our website could not have imagined the possibility of forcing our developments on the VNEU for diesel-electric missiles.
            How many more awaits us all surprises and surprises (!)

          This is crap. Those Germans who rivet submarines with VNEU like pies somehow admitted that the efficiency of these units turned out to be much lower than expected. Those. VNEU have not yet given any significant advantages, and they occupy a place on board. Therefore, it may not be scary that while we lag behind "in iron". All countries with this garbage still poking around and poking around.

            Germany relied on fuel cells, i.e. on hydrogen. Such a system, although relatively compact, is terribly expensive both in production and in operation.
            Sweden and Japan have relied on the Stirling engine. As far as I read, he showed himself quite well.
            Russia, represented by KB Rubin, is betting on reforming diz. fuel. Here, for now, everything is "in vitro."

      What are you talking about, my dear!
      The creation of a non-volatile power plant (VNEU) for fifth-generation non-nuclear submarines of the Kalina project has been completed, according to the report of the Rubin Central Design Bureau for the 2015 year.
      https://vz.ru/news/2016/6/28/818511.html
      Do not believe? Well, then here's another one:
      On December 18, Director General of the Rubin Central Design Bureau, Igor Vilnit, announced that the ground tests of the non-volatile power plant for non-nuclear submarines were completed and in the 2016 year VNEU marine tests should be conducted.

      On October 23 on 2017, Deputy Navy Commander-in-Chief Vice Admiral Viktor Bursuk announced that the Russian Navy would receive non-nuclear submarines with an air-independent power plant by the end of the 2020 year.

        Alexander hi HOW can a gas turbine without air (oxygen) cost? Well, at least a hint, pli-and-and-and-s. recourse On tanks, this EC requires much more air than a conventional diesel engine and, moreover, purified air. How is it? Sorry for the question, but the gas turbine air eats a lot more.

              Hello, Sergey! "Clean" gas turbine units (VNEU) I do not remember something at point blank range! There are steam-turbine plants, and steam-gas-turbine ... (on hydrogen peroxide), but they also have more steam than "gas" ...
              It is a pity that one more type of VNEU was overlooked here ... with the use of a metal "melt"! (Or another "coolant") This idea was proposed in the 1st half of the 20th century. The essence is as follows: a diesel engine works on the surface, the "coolant" in a heat accumulator is heated by exhaust gases; in a submerged position, a liquid is pumped through a heat accumulator with a coolant, steam is formed, which is sent to a turbine or piston engine. A more modern option: the use of heat accumulators (with a metal melt) in conjunction with a Stirling engine (in this case, the "stirling" does not need oxygen, this is me for addressing)

            It means the Walter’s turbine. Therefore, the French work on the VNEU principle: the DCN group of companies for the French submarine Scorpen (Agosta-90B) developed a steam-generating anaerobic EC of the type MESMA (Module D'Energie Sous Marine Autonome ) A full-scale onshore prototype anaerobic EC was put into operation back in 1998. According to the DCN concern, the output power of the MESMA anaerobic control unit is 200 kW, which makes it possible to increase the diving range by 3-5 times, at an average speed of 4-5 knots.

                    citation .. Since an air-independent power plant requires a supply of liquid oxygen or hydrogen on board a submarine, and also because of the low underwater range provided by VNEU, there is a tendency for non-nuclear submarines to return to a traditional diesel-electric circuit in modern designs using ultra-high capacity lithium-polymer batteries [3] [4].

            in Russia 2 teams are developing 2 directions

            - diesel fuel (or another source of hydrogen) + oxygen - first “Malachite” + SKBK = piranha 1980 is the first-generation VNEU “Crystal-20”, hydrogen in an intermetallic compound is an alloy of a metal with a high hydrogen content converted to a hydrogen carrier gas , which is extracted by the ECG generator (German direction of the boat 212 of the project), then since 1998, the Rubin Central Design Bureau has been connected to Malachite, and the RSC Energia named after SP Koroleva, VNEU of the second generation "Crystal-27", or an ECG generator for rifing of alcohols (methyl alcohol - a hydrogen carrier), developed by RSC Energia see patent of RSC Energia: Your text to link here ... (this direction Spaniards promote), then the Krylovsky center connected. The latter idea, unlike the first two: the source of hydrogen is diesel fuel - the third generation of VNEU) (the French also deal with it)).

            We have been working together on the topic for more than 30 years - therefore it is the main one))

            - Stirling engine methane + oxygen "IIC" Stirling Technology "(also involved in the Swedes and Chinese)

            I’m more interested in the reforming of diesel fuel with the production of hydrogen for these elements of the Rubin Central Design Bureau as part of this article. Reforming our alcohols seems to have already passed with Energy - the project does not suit. and why?)

            In diesel fuel reforming, we have only 1 competitor - the French company DCNS, although it reported on the installation of diesel fuel reforming in 2014. (by the way, after she reported on our reports on the VNEU created by us from 2014, they somehow hung in the air ... probably then they finally switched to developing the VNEU of the third generation. why? The performance characteristics of the French boat are astounding: Your text to link here ..., " It is stated that with autonomy of three months and a cruising range of up to three weeks under the fuel cells, the boat will be able to cross the Atlantic six times underwater at a cruising speed of 14 knots. "Your text to link here ... -All other coastal boat options have subsequently disappeared themselves and our option should have been and became at least the same)

            Nothing, we will trade together in the market))

            Why we do not have Stirling - low power of the propulsion system, the Swedish engine is 75 kW. how many do you need per boat? The Chinese version is 160-200 kW per engine, 4 engines = 640-870 kW for the Chinese, which is also not a complete buzz in German for the 212 project boat.

            A Stirling engine also needs a tank with liquefied oxygen and liquefied natural gas, although ... these engines say omnivores.

            And by the way, the Japanese do not like their stirling engines and they are leaning simply corny to lithium-ion batteries.

            Gentlemen, perhaps you are not in the know, but the Rubinovskaya installation has long been built and tested on the Lada. I don’t remember how many options, but two were definitely mounted. Another thing is that the customer did not accept it. Its characteristics were not satisfied, and with reliability, to put it mildly, not brilliantly. I don’t know how the whole thing works for the Germans and Swedes, for the Japanese they say something like ours. Accordingly, now Rubin is developing another new version of a chemical reactor, and now malachite is also connected with its turbine. (God forbid, not to use peroxide.) We still have a Soviet development - a nuclear thermoelectric generator and, according to rumors from not very reliable sources, there is a certain ultra-compact nuclear power plant in the metal based on traditional principles. Accordingly, the competition between developers is fierce and frantic, and without a non-VEU the fleet will definitely not remain. Another thing is that the customer requires a child prodigy and also for three pennies, so the unfinished building was formed. Again, there is nowhere to put this very installation. All these frets and viburnums are a bit of a wrong level. We need a non-nuclear boat mainly to go through the Bosphorus, and in the Mediterranean it would be nice to have a larger and more autonomous boat.

    Four types have spread:

    engines with external heat supply (Stirling),

    closed cycle diesels

    closed cycle steam turbines

    power plants with electrochemical generators.

    Different countries approached the creation of an air-independent energy installation in their own way:

    Sweden has taken the path of creating a plant based on the Stirling engine;

    The basis of the German installation was an electrochemical generator and intermetallic hydrogen storage

    the French created the MESMA (Module d'Energie Sous-Marine Autonome) installation based on a closed-loop turbine operation using ethanol and liquid oxygen
    Already whole fleets of PLPL go for 20 days without surfacing. The Germans have already sold such boats to both Koreans and Japanese. At the Pacific Fleet they have about 23 submarines, in contrast to our 7 halibuts.
    In the early 80s, the USSR was a pioneer in the development of VNEU, so they remained in the development. Not soon catch up on the number of VNEU and testing in reliability.

    What kind of pessimism? We do not even know in draft what principles are implemented in this installation. Perhaps this is again not a generally accepted scheme. Maybe there is generally a task "with the possibility of replacing existing ones with modernization." Let's wait for at least the “voiceovers” of the components of the project.

    Awesomely stupid article. So little of this - even from the readers no one understood anything.
    First: the article only talks about testing the propulsion system itself, and not a finished submarine with this installation. That is, the designers simply created some kind of prototype and tested it at the stand in terrestrial rather than underwater conditions.
    Secondly, I suspect that these engineers reported misinformation to the author of the article: that is, they intentionally confused a gas turbine with a conventional steam turbine. Because the gas turbine is very noisy, and practically unsuitable for submarines, but the steam turbine is almost silent - even during tests of the well-known British battleship Dreadnought, it was noted that steam turbines work so silently unlike steam engines that they work (turbines) or not, it was possible only by instruments (by the rev counter).
    Thirdly: what is “Air-independent installation” in general? Most ignoramuses think it's some kind of supernova engine of ingenious design. But in fact, in order for any submarine to be independent of atmospheric air, it is necessary to fulfill the main condition: somehow be able to store a very large supply of oxygen on board. Most readers of this do not understand the simplest things so much that they do not even know that the main condition for the operation of any heat engine is that it burns fuel when it is combined with oxygen. And if there is no problem storing organic fuel on a submarine, storing and receiving liquid oxygen in a submarine is a huge difficulty. One of the articles on this topic says that this non-volatile installation uses a highly efficient method of reforming ordinary fuel into oxygen.
    But understand - that reforming - that is, simply converting a mixture of hydrocarbons into pure hydrogen - is just the conversion of the fuel itself (and hydrogen is mainly needed in fuel cells, which so far have little power), but how these “scientists” are going to store or receive oxygen - not a single word about this in the article!

      Sorry, but there is still a problem with the removal of combustion products, of course if the fuel is not pure hydrogen, and the oxidizing agent is not oxygen. And why is it necessarily liquid? And why is oxygen necessary?

    The entire development of VNEU is limited to understanding how to transform any fuel in a liquid or gas state in a simple way and device. Moreover, in a way that does not lose the potential of energy density as a process when scaling. Moreover, the new method and device allows you to transform both the process itself in the air-independent installation and change both the propulsion and nuclear reactors. All these separate devices are connected by the same principles physical process. Therefore, in the basis it is necessary to understand the fundamental principles of the conversion of substances, and only then tackle everything else. Although I admit, the device is also very difficult to understand.

    And yet - a long time ago - even seeming in the fifties in the Union were built babies with a renewable supply of oxygen. If one of the readers did not understand: then the renewable stock is fundamentally different from the one that was just pumped on the shore. For example, at the end of the year before the end of the nineteenth century, the French built the first purely electric submarines. BUT few people know that the energy reserve in batteries per unit of weight is about a thousand times LESS than the energy reserve of a kilogram of fossil fuels. And therefore, purely electric boats could only sail near the port for only one day. but when boats with gasoline engines and electric generators appeared to recharge the batteries, gradually diesel boats became oceanic.
    So: exactly the same with the Soviet babies: they not only pumped a supply of oxygen into their tanks, but in addition they also had a freezing unit for receiving oxygen from the air right during the voyage. That is, simply a small turbine that created a rarefaction of air, and from this it was very cooled and oxygen became liquid and pumped into the tank, and nitrogen
    emitted into the atmosphere. And now there is no difficulty in repeating this. Moreover, the oxygen tanks on those babies were made of sheet copper, and now the technology of winding high-pressure cylinders for storing gases from heavy-duty fiber impregnated with epoxy is widespread. And such non-volatile installations could provide submarines with a very long cruising range, because liquid oxygen in combination with conventional fuel provides many times more energy storage than batteries.

    If you don’t know, then we are talking about hydrogen-oxygen generators for at least forty to fifty years. And the design principle of these devices is that they directly generate electric current - without any involvement of any heat engine. And of course, that the resulting electric current is immediately sent to the electric motor, which would give movement to the submarine. So - in this article we are talking about TURBINE! And how does this fit with the conversion of fossil fuels to hydrogen? After all, the turbine should eat regular hydrocarbon fuel well, and not pure hydrogen. And if a hydrogen-oxygen electric current generator is used there, then what does the TURBINE mean?

    And where is the combustion in these generators?
    If you do not know the principle of operation of fuel cells, then although there is no flame there, there is still a reaction of hydrogen oxidation by oxygen - which in essence is combustion, and from this oxidation reaction an electric current is generated in fuel cells.

    And if there is no problem storing organic fuel on a submarine, storing and receiving liquid oxygen in a submarine is a huge difficulty.
    Sorry, but there is still a problem with the removal of combustion products, of course if the fuel is not pure hydrogen, and the oxidizing agent is not oxygen. And why is it necessarily liquid? And why is oxygen necessary?


    If you do not understand the simplest things, then be aware that when hydrogen is oxidized with oxygen, it produces the most ordinary water in the form of steam and there is no problem cooling and throwing this overboard. And carbon dioxide is also easily cooled and compressed already in two atmospheres and perfectly dissolves in sea water. So there is no problem.
    But storing liquid oxygen in a submarine in large quantities is a HUGE PROBLEM. The fact is that if you knew chemistry, then the H2O water molecule if you calculate the molar weights - two hydrogen atoms give only 2 weight units, and one oxygen atom - 16 weight units. That is, the weight of oxygen in water is 8 times that of hydrogen. And this means that to oxidize one ton of hydrogen - it takes 8 times more oxygen! And if on board a submarine there is, for example, 100 tons of fuel in the form of hydrogen, then 800 tons of oxygen are needed! And where to get it in a submarine?

    And why is it necessarily liquid? And why is oxygen necessary?
    Pancake! Well, if you don’t know how the volume and density of gaseous oxygen differs from the volume and density of liquid oxygen, then what can you talk about with such “experts” in banal chemistry and physics?
    And why is oxygen necessary?
    And what can you offer as an oxidizing agent for fuel - can it be fluorine or explosive hydrogen peroxide of high concentration?

      laughing - How true, Watson! That is a genius. Well, for sure, a genius. Who else is so versed in such things? laughing
      there is no problem cooling and throwing this overboard the submarine.

      This is generally an unexpected revelation! laughing
      Well and so on in the text. Where to get 800 tons of oxygen, if you have 100 tons of hydrogen ... And where do you get 100 tons of hydrogen? belay If you have hydrogen, then why are you afraid of peroxide - does hydrogen not explode? belay From what day of the week did it stop exploding?
      the reaction of hydrogen oxidation by oxygen - which in essence is combustion,
      laughing Oxidation is not burning, you are our genius. Study your textbooks if you have them. Burning is oxidation, but not vice versa.
      and from this oxidation reaction in the fuel cells an electric current is obtained.
      laughing Well, how true! Exactly - it turns out!
      Good Luck!

    Imagine that hydrogen itself does not explode without oxygen at all. And without an oxidizing agent, hydrogen (like any other substance) cannot even burn. And only in a mixture with oxygen does hydrogen form the so-called "explosive gas" and explodes perfectly. But even then, provided that the hydrogen is not less than 4% and no more ...

    Amurets,
    Amurets,
    ((Oxygen was needed for Lighters, small submarines of A-615 project. Hydrogen peroxide for C-99 of 617 project.))
    So all the same, hydrogen peroxide (!), And not hydrogen!
    To the topic of "sterling":
    ((. A more modern option: the use of heat accumulators (with a metal melt) in conjunction with a Stirling engine (in this case, the "stirling" oxygen does not need I am addressing)))
    I read about the Swedish submarines with "Stirling" ... they use diesel fuel and liquid oxygen to "warm up" the engines.

    Last spring, the Rubin Central Design Bureau of Marine Engineering completed the design of the fifth-generation Kalina, a fifth-generation diesel-electric submarine capable of being under water for significantly longer than modern ships of this class. The new ship will receive a non-volatile power plant operating on highly purified hydrogen-containing gas. It will be received on board a diesel-powered submarine by reforming.
    The resulting hydrogen will be supplied to hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, where electricity will be generated for engines and on-board systems. With this scheme, designers expect to get a method of almost silent power generation. As expected, the capacity of the installation developed by Rubin will be about 400 kilowatts. The development of an anaerobic power plant is scheduled to be completed in 2018.
