"Problems with the engine and thermal imager are resolved": the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade spoke about "Armata"

The problem with engines for the Russian newest tank The T-14 "Armata" has been resolved, and the developers also figured out the issue of thermal imagers for the tank. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov told about this in an interview with TASS.

Answering the corresponding question from the journalist, Manturov said that today there are no problems with the engine and thermal imager for the T-14 "Armata" tank. A thermal imager from the Russian company "Shvabe" is installed on the machine, he did not explain anything about the engine, confining himself to a statement that the power plant meets the characteristics requested by the military.

Yes. Issues concerning both engines and thermal imagers have been resolved. The engine produces exactly those parameters, technical characteristics that were laid down in the TTZ during the design. As for thermal imagers, I can say with confidence that we have a completely import-substituted Russian product, which is produced by Shvabe

- the minister said.

Recall that in early February, some Russian media wrote about a problem with the engines for the T-14 Armata tank. It was reported that the development of a diesel engine within the framework of Chaika R&D was closed, and the engine developer, the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, officially announced:

(...) putting the developed engine into serial production due to its flaws and technically unattainable parameters is inappropriate

If the development of a new X-shaped engine for "Armata" was still stopped, what kind of engine is Manturov talking about? It is possible that a modification of the "eternally alive" B2 will be installed on the tank, since there are no other options, but what characteristics will it give? In general, after this statement, even more questions arose for the developers of the tank.

The engine was modified with a power of 1500-1800 hp.

The Armata platform is equipped with a 12H12 (A-360-85A) 3N12 (A-35-XNUMXA) XNUMX-cylinder four-stroke X-shaped diesel engine with a gas turbine turbocharging and liquid cooling. The XNUMX cylinders are arranged in an X-shape and have a total volume of almost XNUMX liters.

The engine was developed by KB Transdiesel, in Chelyabinsk. The diesel is multi-fuel and, if necessary (along with diesel fuel), can run on gasoline, kerosene or their mixtures in any proportion.

The mixture is formed by direct fuel injection. The compression ratio in the cylinders is 11. A-85-3 produces up to 2000 rpm. and develops a rated power of 1500 hp. If you use boost, the engine can give up to 2,2 thousand hp. At the same time, the possibility of "removal" of forcing is indicated, which reduces the power to 1200-1300 hp, but significantly increases the engine resource.

A-85-3, aka 2V12-3, 12ChN15 / 16 or 12N360
The engine has a switchable maximum power from 1200 hp. from. up to 1500 l. from. The production cars will be equipped with a version of the engine with a maximum power of 1800 hp. from. At a capacity of 1200 liters. from. a resource of 10000 engine hours is guaranteed, that is, in fact, for the entire period of operation of the tank. The speed of the tank is 90 km / h.
The tank can march 500 km without refueling. The increase in the march range was achieved due to the greater efficiency of the four-stroke engine; the four-stroke engine also has a 1,5 times longer service life, easier to start at low temperatures and requires less air for blowing, which reduces the visibility of the car in the infrared range and does not require massive air filters. The time to replace the engine after damage is 30 minutes.

Don't confuse people. The X-shaped engine has long been developed and skated a bunch of hours on various armored vehicles (object 195, object 187, object 219RD, object 785). But instead of him, they suddenly decided to put some kind of "Seagull" on Armatu. Here with her, once again, it did not work out. And we returned to the engine that was originally intended for the Armata (X-shaped).

It's simple - the X-shaped one seemed to someone too difficult to operate, so they decided to develop a standard V-shaped one (the same seagull), which failed, apparently they spat on it and brought the X-shaped one to mind)))

Yes, maybe it's for the best.

The promising Russian tank T-14 Armata has lost the possibility of installing a diesel engine on it, created as part of the research and development work (R&D) of Chaika, since the latter will be closed, Mil.Press Military reports.

Mil.Press Military recalls that the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia placed a lot on “Development of basic models of a model range of high-speed V-shaped diesel engines for special purposes in the power range from 750 to 1500 kilowatts of promising models of automotive vehicles and medium and heavy tracked vehicles by weight, special wheeled machines and transport and technological means ”(code“ Seagull ”) in June 2014. The value of the contract was 467 rubles. The Chaika engine was called a candidate for the base engine of the unified platforms Armata and Kurganets-113.

Dumas father or son?

Not a son or a father, but simply not in the know.
First, "the development of a new x-shaped engine is discontinued" due to the fact that it was developed a long time ago. And it passed successful tests, albeit in a 16-cylinder version back in the 80s.
ChTZ's message refers to a completely different R&D project, the so-called Chaika project. Whether this "Seagull" was prepared for Armatu or not is unknown.
And problems can always arise, for example, a violation of the manufacturing technology of which
-not a node and here's a problem ... But it's all solvable.
Only now it is not worth waiting for a massive rearmament for economic reasons, but a dozen other battalions should be created in the coming years. Otherwise, there will be no experience of application, no export.

[Fedor Sokolov]

It would be time to move from words to deeds, it is necessary to start production and supply tanks to the troops.

[rocket757]

These are the issues that the minister should cover ... nothing else to do?
When the Urals were solving the problem of T90, the Indian contract ... that was a real BUSINESS, it was PROFESSIONALS who worked!
but climbed out like after the rain, everywhere, managers, political scientists, economists and so on, there is nowhere to spit, and things are not well done, because this riffraff did not learn to work, that's for sure.

[Kart]

A completely new tank is of course not the case?

[rocket757]

The tank will be made and WITHOUT IT, they must do, at least, and give it to the troops!
What is our minister? tank factory?
So that matter is important, but should the minister do it and report it ???

He was asked a question, he answered.
Strange people. Little information, for the same "Armata" is bad, it means that nothing is working out, the project will sink into oblivion. From time to time they give out information - again it is bad, they say, it is necessary not to speak, but to do.
Just like a capricious child from Yeralash. Nothing is right, nothing like it.

Okay, that's understandable.
The question has been asked, the minister is aware ... in this aspect, there are no complaints.
My jamb did not figure it out.
This is already a reflex, on all our guiding lines .... in principle, there is a reason, BUT, on specific issues it is necessary to sort it out more carefully.

In general, as the Ministry of Industry, he tells how things are going with the development of the production of components for a new tank ... What does the Urals have to do with it?

[Alsur]

How I like it. If relatively speaking, the engine of the Mitsubishi company, then it embodied all the best developments over the past 40 years. If this is a Soviet-Russian engine, then this is an endless variation of the B-2, which was installed on the T-34. It wasn't even funny anymore.

[Artemiy_2]

In the article, delirium is written simply. The X-shaped piece is on the reinforcement. Seagull was a completely different topic. And here B-2 I did not understand at all

[Kart]

This is from the "all gone" series. Chinese electronics, Soviet engine, "this power" is to blame.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Have you ever sat in a tank once? Let's go by engines ... Please name the differences between ... Well, first between B84 and B2 ...

Yes, I was just joking, I smiled with something, probably the same thing that 10 years ago I wondered about the same "why exactly Shvabe and what this means.

[Vita vko]

after this announcement, even more questions arose for the developers of the tank.

How else when a car is designed from scratch? New base, new weapons, new electronics - logically new problems. Only after 5 years of operation of the export modification in the conflict areas may the first modernization appear, then it will be possible to speak of normal reliability and combat effectiveness. In any case, conceptually, the T-14 is an optimal and promising option, the alternative to which will not be available for another 50 years. In the meantime, these are still prototypes on which new technologies are only being tested.

[Flamberg]

God bless her with fittings, the very fact of a new tank engine is good. As long as you can rape the engine from the T-72, it has already squeezed all the juices out of it. Well, your own teplak is also good.

[Artemiy_2]

If the difficulties with the diesel engine are solved, then we will see it not only on the tank ... but there were articles about the matrix that we have completely mastered in production. Not the most modern format, something like 580x625 .... and put it on the Mi28 too .... and the rocket was advertised with the IR seeker.

[Rostislav]

the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade spoke about "Armata"

What kind of organization is this, "Ministry of Trade[i] [/ i] "?

[yfast]

What is the resolution of the thermal imager? Cooled? Overlaid on a regular image?

[Constanty]

The engine (or, more precisely, the entire R&D) "Seagull" this V-shaped [engine marked 12TV373CH was supposed to become a promising engine for the T-14 "Armata".

Another engine from Chelyabinsk was mounted on existing prototypes - Х-образный 12Н360 (А-85-3А) 2В12-3, 12ЧН15/16

This is a rather different engine than The Seagull, so the author's arguments for a return to W-2 are probably irrelevant.

The question remains, why was the "Chaika" developed, if there were already other engines with the required power ??

[Zaurbek]

Due to its layout, X diesel is probably inconvenient in other equipment .... V diesels, as it is more common in the world on heavy equipment.

[Simargl]

"Chaika" is high-speed, it has less volume, more power density.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Constanty

the author's arguments for returning to W-2,

You probably meant V-2.
W-shaped. The cylinder block of the Volkswagen W12 looks like this

We do not do it according to this scheme

[Constanty]

It is possible that a modification of the "forever alive" will be installed on the tank V2, since there are no other options, but what characteristics will it give out?

B-2 (possibly in the B-92S2, B-99 variant?

[Bad_gr]

I talked about the engine designations: V and W. These are different layouts.
I don’t believe that B-2 can be put on the Armata.

[Jurkovs]

The constructive scheme is not entirely clear. On V-engines, the twin cylinder runs through a trailed connecting rod to the main connecting rod, that is, to one crankshaft journal. It is simply not possible to attach more cylinders. What does X-shape mean? An increase in the number of crankshaft journals by half so that the lower pair of cylinders work on a closely located other journal? Or a radial arrangement, when each cylinder works on its own mini-shaft, which transmits rotation to the main shaft through a planetary gear? Maybe someone knows this question.

[Last centurion]

wikipedia knows for query "x-shaped engine". there with pictures :)

[Simargl]

Quote: Jurkovs

Or a radial arrangement, when each cylinder works on its own mini-shaft, which transmits rotation to the main shaft through a planetary gear?

The circuit is star-shaped, but it doesn't work that way. One connecting rod is "main", works on an almost ordinary crankshaft, the rest of the connecting rods are engaged on the main one.

[Constanty]

The 12N360 engine was created for the T-95 tank (object 195). In terms of design, it is much more classic than 6TD-f motors.in fact, these are two V6 turbodiesels, laid on their side, with a common crankshaft and an oil sump... The X-shaped scheme has a number of obvious advantages in the dynamic balancing of the engine and the layout in relation to the tank (convenient side exhaust outlet, central position of the crankshaft, etc.).

[mag nit]

Have you replaced the intercom?

[Simargl]

If the development of a new X-shaped engine for "Armata" was still stopped, what kind of engine is Manturov talking about?

The author at least asked what a "Seagull" is and what an X-shaped engine is!
I hint: "Chaika" is a promising development of a high-speed diesel engine. The X-type is traditional and it is already being installed on the T-14 and other equipment.

[Constanty]

A new diesel engine for Russian tanks has been under development for over 20 years. X-shaped, it was already installed on the experimental tank "Object 187" model number 4 in the mid-80s. Then this was a 16-cylinder X-shaped engine (A-85-2) 2B-16.

[Zaurbek]

And the roots of this X-diesel scheme go back to the Germans.
