Diesel engine 12N360

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The diesel engine 12N360 ( Russian 12Н360 ) is a Russian four - stroke diesel engine from the Chelyabinsk engine plant . The water-cooled twelve-cylinder - X engine with direct injection was powered the universal platform Armata developed on, among others, the T-14 is based.

history

Development of the 12N360 began back in the 1970s. In 1977 a first prototype with an output of 1200 hp and the designation 12TSchN ran. At the time, the Soviet leadership favored the gas turbine and the two-stroke opposed piston engine 5TDF as a tank drive, and no funds were made available for the further development of the 12TSchN. The later development of the W-2 series up to the W-93 with 1120 hp also showed that this V12 engine, whose origins were still in the late 1930s, still had potential.

construction

The 12N360 is a turbo-charged , horizontal X-engine with 12 cylinders. Due to the X design, it is much more compact than its predecessor W-93 (Chelyabinsk) and just as compact as the two-stroke opposed piston engines 5TDF and 6TDF (Malyshev plant in Charkow).
