The Junkers Jumo 213 was a liquid-cooled, twelve-cylinder engine - aircraft engine with direct fuel injection and 35 liters capacity the Junkers . It was developed during the Second World War from the Jumo 211 with the same displacement and had a takeoff power of over 2000 hp (Jumo 211: max. 1500 hp).

Junkers and the Flugmotorenwerke Ostmark built from mid 1942 to the end of the war more than 9,000 engines in the most important fighter aircraft of the German Air Force as the Ju 88 , Ju 188 and the Fw 190 D were used.

history

The Jumo 213 engine was one of the best German 12-cylinder aircraft engines and achieved a liter output of 50 hp, which could be increased to up to 60 hp with the use of performance-enhancing additional injections. The improvement over its predecessor, the Jumo 211, was achieved through an optimized design and an increase in speed of almost 500 min −1 to 3200 min −1 in continuous operation.

The Jumo 213 was a V-engine with "hanging" cylinders ( crankshaft above, also called " A-engine "); cooling was carried out with a glycol- water mixture at a permissible operating temperature of around 120 ° C. The power regulation was carried out by a single-lever control unit developed by Junkers, which automatically controlled boost pressure, loader switching and similar parameters.

Jumo 213

The engines could be equipped with water-methanol ( MW-50 ) or GM-1 injection (oxygen carrier nitrous oxide ). The MW-50 system brought an additional output of around 300 HP below full pressure height , the GM-1 up to 400 HP above full pressure height. The Jumo 213 had an automatic single- stage two-speed loader , versions E and F even had a two-stage three-speed loader. The full pressure heights of the loaders were 5500 to 6000 m for Jumo 213 A / C and 9600 m for Jumo 213 E / F. In addition to the good high-altitude performance, the Jumo 213 engines were particularly characterized by their relatively low specific fuel consumption . Depending on the series, this was between 258 and 274 g / kWh (190 to 202 g / PSh) during cruise flight.

Many aircraft designs in the last years of the war were based on this engine. The production of larger numbers did not begin until 1944, so that many prototypes had to switch to other engines. The series approval of the Reich Aviation Ministry (RLM) took place after a very short development time and test phase. The first test engines had only completed five 100-hour full throttle runs.
