ChTZ-Uraltrak, a Uralvagonzavod site, has opened a new ionic nitriding production site on its territory for working with V-92S2 tank engines. According to Uralvagonzavod representatives, this is necessary "to significantly increase the mass production of boosted diesel engines".
The designers have figured out how to improve the basic characteristics of the engine by making the metal from which its parts are assembled stronger.
The machines operate in different climatic conditions, so the load on the engines and transmission is very high. In order to have a stable engine quality, it is necessary to strengthen the physical and chemical properties of its key elements. The new ChTZ production site will work on this task.
The V-92S2 is one of the main engines for tanks in the Russian army. It weighs 1020 kilograms, is 1.48 meters long, 0.896 meters high, and 0.902 meters wide. The power of such an engine is 1000 horsepower, the rotation speed is 2000 revolutions per minute, and the fuel consumption is 156 grams per horsepower-hour.
It has a modified version - the V-92S2F with a power of 1130 horsepower. In terms of dimensions, it is identical to its predecessor, and if necessary, the engines can be replaced with each other without harming the tank.
It is known that the V-92S2F has a reinforced crankcase, crankshaft, connecting rod and piston group, improved turbocharger, exhaust system and cooling system. The heads of its block are cast from heat-resistant aluminum alloy, and the engine's fuel system has a power limiting mechanism that reduces the load on the diesel engine when extreme temperature parameters are reached.
