Chapter 286: Hybrid Power System
Yang Wenli is not completely copied the technology of later generations, he has his thinking, for example, the boiler he designed, not only used to burn steam, he borrowed from the rocket ramjet engine technology, the combustion chamber is an engine, the shell is a cooling shell with water circulation like the fuel engine, but it has two layers of waterway, it is much thicker, in order to ensure strength, high-strength alloy steel materials are used.
In addition, he used refined coal injection technology, just like the solid fuel of rockets, if supplemented by combustion management technology, it is not only energy-saving, but also can produce strong power by itself, which can be said to be a very advanced technology even in later generations.
In the absence of measurement and control equipment, how to achieve effective combustion management? That is, subtle combustion control, which only he can do.
Spiritual power is a very magical energy, it ignores the obstacles of matter, and ignores the high temperature of thousands of degrees, you can directly observe the combustion of the combustion chamber in the thick shell, the injection of pulverized coal is not in place, or spray more, or spray less, he is clear, can be adjusted immediately, which is equivalent to the advanced engine combustion visual monitoring system in later generations, no way, he is just hanging up.
Since it is a ramjet, it must have the characteristics of a ramjet engine, and he adopted the technology of a cyclic ramjet engine.
Because there is no spindle, the jet port has a centrifugal turbine, which acts like the rotor outside the Hongyun fan blade in each person's home in later generations, which will restrain the scattered wind and make the wind stronger.
Originally, the exhaust gases were burned and discharged through the flue, just like the large and black smoke pipes of the eighteenth-century steamships, but Yang Wenli was ingenious and used them to directly generate huge thrust, just like the principle of a jet engine.
This is not simple, you must know that many warships of later countries are powered by steam turbines, although they are heavy oil boilers, but the black smoke is still very large, and thick black smoke columns can be seen at sea for ten miles.
And Yang Wenli changed this way, not only did he not have that huge chimney, but also the black smoke was gone, just like the most advanced all-electric power ship in later generations, this advantage, in this era of queuing up to bomb, is too advantageous, until it is close, the enemy can't find it, and when it is discovered, it is too late.
Of course, after all, it is only a coal-fired boiler, although it only borrows the concept of a ramjet engine, but with this jet alone, the speed of the ship is definitely not fast enough, and the huge power of the turbine generator cannot be used, so Yang Wenli also learned the high-pressure pump spray technology of later generations, and also made a set.
Simple high-pressure pump spray, the speed of the ship is not as fast as the propeller, but it simplifies the transmission system, but with the injection power of the boiler, the new power system designed by Yang Wenli is more powerful than the gas turbine and diesel power combination of later generations, and the combustion efficiency is far more than that.
Because it is an electric pump spray, it is relatively simple and there is no complicated pipeline, so there is also a nozzle on both sides of the bow, which is not only used for reversing, but also can be sprayed to one side to accelerate the ship to turn or turn around.
In addition, I don't know if you have found that this new power system has a huge advantage, even the most advanced warships in later generations do not have, that is, they are ready to go, and the advanced gas turbines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in later generations have a pressurization process, which takes at least more than an hour, that is to say, in this time, the warship is a motionless target, and the steam turbines of later generations are even inferior, and it takes half a day to pressurize, which is a real half a day.
Why does this new power system designed by Yang Wenli be able to drive and go? First of all, it has a high-energy lithium battery pack, and the high-voltage electric pump can be started directly, which is similar to an all-electric power ship.
In addition, although the steam turbine also needs time to pressurize, the unique boiler jet power is a high-pressure jet at the slightest fire, although the initial power may be weak, but it can definitely start the ship.
These two kinds of power are almost full-speed power, and they can be summed up in one sentence, which can be called a hybrid system, similar to the hybrid cars of later generations.
This hybrid system of steam turbine power and electric pump jet power seems to be very complicated, but in fact, as long as the materials are in place and can be designed, Yang Wenli and his fifty guards can make it, and they are all top craftsmen.
Since the beginning of the year, Yang Wenli has been designing this complex power system, usually in addition to instructing the scientific researchers, occasionally concerned about their respective progress, he has been designing, not a moment of rest.
Even the design of him is open, originally such a complex power system, alone is far from being able to do, but his mental power is so strong that he is perverted, his thinking is clear, and his memory is excellent, drawing is like copying, and he already has a perfect design plan in his mind.
Therefore, this complex power system has more than half a room in the drawings alone, and it took him less than a year to draw it alone.
As soon as the drawings came out, Yang Wenli summoned his fifty guards and held an important research and development meeting, they were all technicians, hands-on people, and at the same time, they each brought four apprentices, this is the technician team of the scientific research department, from the drawings to the real thing, it depends on their hands to make it.
Today's technician department is not the same as before, in the past, it was only precision casting, and it was okay to make simple things, but equipment with high requirements for material strength could not do anything.
At this stage, in addition to casting, there are forging, quenching and tempering, welding, turning, fitters, fine grinding and other comprehensive process technologies, they also have their own hands, specializing in a certain industry.
"I called you to the meeting, because I have completed the design of the ship's power system, and I ask you to develop the power system according to the drawings.
I have a more important design task, that is, the design of the ship, I don't have time to accompany you to develop, but I have already marked the material requirements of each part, you just need to manufacture them separately according to the drawings, and then assemble them to achieve it, if you don't understand, you can ask me.
You just need to pay attention to one thing, which is the problem of dynamic balancing, the turbine can not produce too much vibration, and the vibration frequency should be recorded, which will be useful when we design ships in the future.
This is a problem of resonance that you will all ignore, and if it causes a resonance of the hull, it has a very terrible destructive power, and the ship will even disintegrate in an instant.
To reduce vibration, you can also use springs and rubber pads as a base, the steam turbine is not really in contact with the hull, in short, you have to do everything you can to reduce vibration......"
In fact, before this, the departments have developed different components in the test, but there is no unified assembly, there is a little bit of difficulty, the parts must be modified, maybe the drawings have to be properly modified, to put it bluntly, it is the most important task of all the development of power systems, but also the most test of the strength of the technician, this is their current main task.
Due to the size of the steam turbine, the warships envisioned by Yang Wenli were at least 1,500 tons, and he named them frigates.
It is a kind of warship that cruises the coastal waters and protects merchant ships, although it is the least class, but it is far better than any kind of warship in the world, even the so-called first-class battleships of the West.
Again, the right one is the best, the performance is just right, and it is the most cost-effective, after all, it is not easy to build a ship, so Yang Wenli's current task is only to design this lowest-level frigate.
The shipbuilding concept of the ship is completely copied from the shipbuilding concept of modern warships of later generations, but there is no complex electronic equipment, command system, radar equipment and powerful shipborne missiles, and there is only one twin 76 mm naval gun on the front and rear decks, that is, there are only four naval guns in total.
Enough, with this configuration, it is already invincible in the world, and adding more firepower is a waste, because its opponent is only a wooden boat, which can't withstand a few shots, and it may fall apart with a single salvo.
