UEC delivered a pilot batch of NK-32 engines of the second stage for Tu-160M

The first installation batch of NK-32 engines of the second stage for installation on the modernized Tu-160M ​​was delivered. This was reported by the press service of the United Engine Corporation (UEC).

Motors of the pilot batch are manufactured, tested and accepted by the customer. Newly manufactured engines meet the requirements of the design and regulatory documentation stated in the tactical and technical assignment

- TASS leads the message of the press service.



The UEC stressed that the corporation has begun mass production of the NK-32-02 engines. The engines are manufactured at the UEC-Kuznetsov enterprise under a state contract with the Ministry of Defense and Tupolev PJSC. In the coming years, this engine will become the main one in the range of products manufactured by the enterprise. A systematic increase in mass production is reported. In addition, the designers of UEC-Kuznetsov are working on the creation of a line of promising engines of the NK family based on the NK-32 gas generator of the 02 series.

The production of the Soviet turbojet engines NK-32 installed on the Tu-160 "White Swan" was stopped after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but later it was decided to resume their production, but in a modernized version (NK-32-02). The new engine of the second stage is 10% more economical than the base one, which on average gives an increase in the flight range of the modernized Tu-160 by a thousand kilometers.

          And you can also put it on a new supersonic liner, that would be a car ...

          They will not fit on a passenger plane. For a passenger (for example, Tu-144), the main flight mode is supersonic (for Tu-144 - more than 2000 km / h), for the military - up to sound (Tu-160 - 850 km / h). Therefore, the passenger needs an engine optimized for continuous supersonic operation, without afterburner. For example, the Tu-144D was equipped with the RD-36-51A, where there were no afterburners at all. With him, the flight range was appropriate (5330 km)
          The strategist is focused on the greatest flight range, and this is a completely different engine operating mode, and he has supersonic sound only due to the afterburner mode of the engine, when fuel is consumed unmeasured.

        Initially, these engines were also installed on the TU-144, but today only strategists remain, there was information that they planned to create a supersonic passenger airliner based on the TU-160, but there is no exact information.

          In the "root" is not true!
          Initially, the NK-144 engines were created for the Tu-144 and subsequently operated.
          Subsequently, two modifications were created for the Tu-22M, NK-144-22 ("FM") and NK -144-2 ("FMA").
          NK-22-0 (144 tons) were on experimental Tu-22M20 vehicles
          NK-22-1 were also installed on the pre-production Tu-144M22.
          On the experimental Tu-22M2, both NK-144-22 and NK-22 were installed, they tried NK-23, but ... "it did not fuse."
          Since 1975, NK-22 engines have been installed on all subsequent releases of Tu-2M22 aircraft.
          It was the NK-144 engine that became the "basis" for the NK-22,23,25 engines.
          The NK-32 was developed purely for the Tu-160.
          And only within the framework of the development of a second generation supersonic passenger aircraft (SPS) in the late 1970s, the NK-321 engine was also developed. The engine was tested and operated on Tu-142LL and Tu-144LL aircraft.

        Alternatively, for use in gas compressor plants for natural gas transportation, or as an energy element.

        We are talking about another aircraft turbine, but given the increased efficiency of the NK-32-02, we can safely assume that it will eventually find its place in "civilian life".

        One of the successful examples of the use of AGTD in the power industry is the cogeneration GTU 25/39, installed and in commercial operation at the Bezymyanskaya CHPP located in the Samara region in Russia, which is described below.

        The gas turbine unit is designed to generate electricity and heat for the needs of industrial enterprises and household consumers. The electric power of the installation is 25 MW, and the heat capacity is 39 MW. The total capacity of the installation is 64 MW. The annual productivity of electricity is 161,574 GWh / year, heat energy is 244120 Gcal / year.

        The unit is distinguished by the use of a unique aircraft engine NK-37, providing an efficiency of 36,4%. This efficiency provides high plant efficiency unattainable in conventional thermal power plants, as well as a number of other advantages. The unit operates on natural gas with a pressure of 4,6 MPa and a flow rate of 1,45 kg / s. In addition to electricity, the installation produces 40 t / h of steam with a pressure of 14 kgf / cm2 and heats 100 t of heating water from 70 to 120 ° C, which allows a small town to be supplied with light and heat.

        When the unit is located on the territory of thermal power plants, no additional special units for chemical water treatment, water discharge, etc. are required.

        Such gas turbine power plants are indispensable for use in cases where:

        ■ a comprehensive solution to the problem of providing electric and thermal energy to a small town, industrial or residential area is required - the modularity of the installations makes it easy to assemble any option depending on the needs of the consumer;

        ■ industrial development of new areas of human life is being carried out, including those with living conditions, when the compactness and manufacturability of the installation is especially important. Normal operation of the unit is ensured in the ambient temperature range from -50 to +45 ° C under the influence of all other unfavorable factors: humidity up to 100%, precipitation in the form of rain, snow, etc .;

        ■ the efficiency of the installation is important: high efficiency ensures the possibility of producing cheaper electric and heat energy and a short payback period (about 3,5 years) with capital investments in the construction of the installation of 10 million 650 thousand dollars. USA (according to the manufacturer).

        In addition, the installation is distinguished by its environmental friendliness, the presence of multi-stage noise suppression, and full automation of control processes.

          A very correct approach. After all, if the city needs heat (for heating houses, + hot water), a boiler room is installed, in which (let's say) gas is burned. But the gas can be burned not in the furnace of the boiler room, but in the turbine that turns the generator. We will get the same amount of heat + for free, electricity.
          And in modern thermal power plants, the kinetic energy for the generator is first removed from the turbine, and the incandescent gases from the turbine enter the boiler, receive steam, which in turn enters the steam turbine - we also take electricity from here. And then, the heat spent in the turbines, through a heat exchanger, is given to the city by hot water.
          In general, the energy from the burnt gas can be disposed of in different ways.

        In the late 80s, these engines were tested on the Tu-22. This modification took place under the letter Tu-22M4. But at the beginning of the 90s, the production of engines was discontinued. Now this idea is being discussed again as the next modernization after the Tu-22M3M, and it seems that it should take place like the Tu-22M7. The seats for this engine are suitable without alteration. The only question is in the increased loads on the airframe and in the automatic engine control.

          In the late 90s, the Kuznetsov workers were carrying out design work with the Americans from GE (surprisingly, there was such a thing). Ours helped them (for their money) to develop wide-chord hollow working blades. The Americans got what they wanted (B-777), but our technology SNTK them.

          2.08 ... this is the consumption for the MFR of the engine operation. wink ... on NK-32 this value is 1,7. soldier

          specific fuel consumption NK
          79,56 kg / (kN · h) under long-term flight conditions (Нп = 11 km, Мп = 0,8).

            For completeness of the "picture" it is necessary to indicate at least some operational factors ... request
            With normal G floor = 90-100t you will never "climb" 11 meters at M = 000 (only if on MPF ​​_ .. therefore your "criteria" ... "long flight conditions" .... forget ...forever and ever soldier
            In the IShR, by the way, they indicate the kilometer and hourly costs ... and which one did you indicate? belay

              Hello ancient, with the past !!! Do not go broke, there are few people on this site today who listen to professionals, they would rather believe Wikipedia and all Borisovs and Krivoruchks, that's why I'm here at an extreme time exclusively as a reader, by the way, the first "Hefest-2" will come to us this year, it will already be possible to start up x32 from it, now the testers in Shaikovka are busy, but this is not M3M, the Hefestoites have just finalized their brainchild. So positiFFFchik!

                Hello, Friends and you too !!! drinks
                Of course, positive, but .... for a long time something ...... I understand that they will "try" the X-32 as ... a "rocket", and not the whole complex .... this is sad .. .so as PN and NK will not "give" the declared characteristics.
                And I would very much like to .. "feel" the news of the new PrNK bully

                  And the complex has not changed NK-45 and PNA, but this is at Hefest, I do not take into account the short story, because the short story does not bomb, and thank God they abandoned these aircraft, limiting themselves to six sides, they also understand: how not to position the Tu22 " the killer of aircraft carriers ", but in practice he went through all the wars with a clean bomber

                    I was hoping that at least the "Obzor" with the Tu-160 "would be stuck .... then somehow it was possible to get the" desired "ranges ... and here ........ in general ...." sadness " recourse

                      So, the x32 has a combined guidance system, it does not need to be given from the PNA to the control center (like 107), they went to the ZRP-cut, and the darling went, and then ... further in a certain area and after a certain time the head turns on and the rocket starts to joke .. You understand that I have no right to write in more detail, I think you will understand it this way, especially since your school was more savvy in matters of mathematics. In terms of x32 efficiency, I will say this: the 22nd is better, yes - hemorrhagic, yes - not quite know-how, stricter in terms of restrictions, but .... Avik, of course, will be much more difficult - after all, he has carrier-based aircraft in cover and this is many hundreds of kilometers, but the regular ship-based air defense aircraft will not get it if it hits x32

                          When I came to serve, only Shaikovka had x15, and then they were already written off on the sly, by the way, I don’t know the others had tasks using these missiles? In Vozdvizhenka, in my opinion, they were not born, my first ship commander began service in Zavitinsk, he said that they also did not have 15s, apparently not a single "eastern" regiment was armed with them
