Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sea trials/PSU/Navy propulsion
Some technical dates:
German torpedoes (prototypes) during the end of WWII :
1.) Hotair.steam 45 kn 6000 m runway
use 4,655 kg Air/Psh and 0,48 kg Dekalin/Psh
2.) Elektro-engine 40 kn 2000 m
3.) Walter plant "Steinbarsch" 45 kn 8000 m runway
use 7,5 kg steam at each Psh (horsepower at one hour)
4.) Walter plant "Schildbutt" 45 kn 14000 m runway
15 kg Steam/psh
5.) Close circurit diesel engine with 100 kg more payload
for the warhead runs 48 kn and 18000 m runway
use 0,68 kg 02/Psh and 0,29 kg fuel/Psh
Use a 8 cylinder 425 hp 4500 U/min 4,3 l displacement engine.
No bubbles - CO2 was asorb by seawater after 4-5 m waterdeep.
regards Carsten
