The maximum speed can reach 32 knots!

He has served as the captain of the 051 missile destroyer and also as the captain of the 053 frigate. Lu Mingfa knows the meaning of this speed. If the maximum actual speed of the 052 ship can reach 32 knots, it would be so exciting!

Lu Mingfa's mood was slightly aroused. Through the glass, he looked at the vast sea outside. At this moment, the 052 ship had gradually moved away from the East China Sea Shipyard and began to sail on the sea.

I sailed for more than an hour.

A technician in charge of the speed test reported loudly: "When the speed test area is reached, the ship is in a positive floating state, the displacement is the designed standard displacement, there is no bow tilt, and the propeller immersion depth meets the requirements!"

The purpose of the speed test is to determine the speed of the ship under a certain load condition and the propeller speed, as well as its corresponding main engine power and propeller thrust, so as to obtain the relationship between speed, speed and thrust.

Arriving in the speed test area!

Many people were slightly excited, looking at Yang Fan, Chen Shaohua, Lu Mingfa and others, waiting to issue a speed test order.

Lu Mingfa is the temporary captain and the person in charge of the navigation test. He nodded to Yang Fan and Chen Shaohua, and then ordered loudly: "Meet the speed test requirements, and the host will be adjusted to 25% working condition!"

The speed test technicians began to act. Soon, the main engine of the 052 ship was in 25% working condition, and everyone began to record various data.

At this time, the key is to record the navigation speed, wind speed, hull displacement, draft depth, propeller immersion depth and other data.

Everything is orderly and is carried out completely according to the pre-developed experimental outline.

In order to test speed, the East China Sea Ship Design Institute has already formulated a test outline, and it was approved by Yang Fan.

If it is a civilian ship, speed tests are generally carried out on the beach, and there are often special speed measurement fields, and benchmarks will be installed on the shore. The distances between benchmarks are man-defined, and different distances can be selected according to different ship speeds.

For ships with a normal rate of less than 20 knots, a benchmark with a measuring mileage of 1852 meters is selected.

Warships generally do not perform speed measurements in this way, but instead travel to designated sea areas and pass sensors, instruments, test equipment, etc. installed on the ship.

This is very different from civilian ships.

The data records are much more detailed and the test details are much more detailed. The speed test that can be completed in one or two days in a civilian ship often takes many days, and at least three voyages are required.

Like today, it is the first voyage.

First, the speed test is carried out under 25% of the host operating conditions, then the working conditions are 50%, and then the working conditions are 75%.

Everything was carried out according to the test outline, smoothly and in an orderly manner.

After all these were done, it was already afternoon, but no one felt tired, but was full of excitement. There was no way. So far, our first ship performed well in the speed test, and all the data basically met the design requirements.

The speed measurement under 100% working conditions will be started soon.

Many people were looking forward to it. Those who were not optimistic about the maximum actual speed of 32 knots also began to change their own viewing.

Because of the previous series of speed tests, the 052 ship performed well.

“Everything meets the design requirements.”

“Our ship 052 power system is really strong.”

"The maximum speed exceeds 32 knots, I think it's very promising."

"Why haven't you started yet? I want to know how fast the speed can be achieved under 100% of the host operating conditions."

“……”

Many people were talking like this, and their words revealed their expectations for speed tests under 100% of the host operating conditions, and they all wanted to see how much the actual maximum speed of our 052 ship can reach.

Before conducting a 100% host condition test, there is some preparation work that needs to be done, and many people think this period is really slow.

Finally, everything is ready.

Whether it was wind power, water flow speed, draft depth, etc., all met the speed measurement requirements, Lu Mingfa pointed lightly at Yang Fan and Chen Shao, and then said loudly: "Carry a speed measurement test under 100% working conditions."

Soon, the technicians and the naval officers and soldiers operating the 052 ship were all busy, and the speed of the 052 ship gradually accelerated.

The working conditions of the host are also rising steadily, breaking through 80% from 75% of the working conditions, then 85%, 90%, 95%....

The entire command room became quiet, and some people's hearts were pounding. To be honest, they were a little nervous, including Li Zhengjun, deputy director of the power system design office.

He thought to himself that this is the first test of the power system, and when the main engine operating condition reaches 100%, what is the actual maximum speed?

Is it close to 32 quarters, or can it exceed 32 quarters, or even break through 33 quarters?

I was looking forward to it and nervous!

"The main engine operating condition reaches 100%, and the speed reaches 30 knots!"

A supervisor technician in charge of the speed test announced loudly, breaking the silence of the scene and making the tense atmosphere lighter.

It's the 30th quarter!

The speed is really fast!

As we all know, when the main engine's working condition reaches 100%, the speed is not the fastest, and the ship is still accelerating at this time.

Sure enough, everyone saw that the speed was still rising!

"Breakthrough the 31st quarter!"

The speed is still rising, and everyone feels that the 052 ship is sprinting at lightning, like a sharp arrow, feeling this speed, and in my heart, how much can its maximum speed reach.

Very fast!

This speed is so satisfying!

The speed was still rising, and soon, the voice of the technician came over again, and everyone could hear it clearly, "The speed exceeded 32 knots!"

Oh my god!

It can really reach 32 quarters!

What about Chapter 32!

The maximum speed designed is 32 knots!

Just as everyone was extremely excited, the technician's voice continued to come: "The speed is still increasing, and the speed is now 32.1 knots."

Chapter 32.2!

Chapter 32.5!

Chapter 33.2!

The final speed stabilized at 33.2 knots. When the technician loudly announced the maximum actual speed, warm applause burst out on the scene.

Wow, so surprised!

Seen, Section 33.2!

Yang Fan smiled gently, everything seemed to be expected. Under 100% of the main engine operating conditions, it would be normal to have a speed of more than 33 knots. Even if it is affected by wind, water flow and other factors, there is no problem that the maximum actual speed exceeds 32 knots in various situations in the future.

Even under harsh ocean conditions, it should not be a big problem to reach and exceed this speed. This is the real way to overcome obstacles and move forward.

This speed is great!

Li Zhengjun, deputy director of the power system design office, completely fell down. The joint power system of the 052 ship was designed by him and led a group of designers. The maximum speed of design is 32 knots, and now this design indicator has been achieved.

Chen Shaohua also let go of his heart, with a happy look on his face, and he held Yang Fan's hand tightly, "It's worthy of being a joint power system, it's so powerful. A destroyer with a maximum speed of thousands of tons can actually exceed 33 knots. It's so amazing!"

With such powerful power, many missile destroyers can be left behind, such as our 051 missile destroyer.

The maximum speed of modern missile destroyers is generally between 28 and 32 knots, 052 can exceed 32 knots, and actually can reach more than 33 knots, which is very outstanding in terms of power.

Lu Mingfa was a little excited!

He quickly took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then ordered loudly: "Increase the power of the main unit to reach 110% of the working conditions!"

In the speed test, the maximum working condition is not 100%. In order to test the power system, a speed test of 110% working condition is often carried out.

The operator pushed the operating lever to increase the power of the main engine. The two diesel engines and two lm2500 gas turbines in the power compartment roared, and burst out with huge thrust.

You can feel that the speed of this 052 ship has begun to increase again.

"The host operating condition reaches 110%, with a speed of 33.8 knots."

This is a satisfactory answer.

Actual speed of 33.8 knots.

Although the main engine is overloaded, it is very useful on the battlefield to explode at such a speed. Sometimes it may be able to save lives, and the survivability of warships is greatly improved.

Even more enthusiastic applause sounded again!

Some people even couldn't help but cheer, and the entire warship was almost completely boiling!

Too powerful!

Under overload, it can actually reach a speed of 33.8 knots.

The speed test of the first voyage was undoubtedly very successful. Our 052 ship was completely satisfied in terms of speed, even exceeding the design indicators.

The sun sets, and in the afterglow, it turns with a large radius and starts to return. In the night, it returns to the East China Sea Shipyard, and still docks on the edge of the original dock.

During speed measurement, due to factors such as water flow and wind, the actual speed of the ship cannot be determined by a single voyage. In order to make the test results correct, multiple voyage tests are generally required. According to the test outline, the 052 ship must undergo three voyage tests.

After getting off the boat, although I had been busy for almost a day, everyone was very excited, and my heart was filled with joy, without any fatigue.

Chen Shaohua even invited him: "Let's go, we have prepared two tables of food, let's go to have a meal."

I'm really a little hungry.

Everyone was not polite. Under the leadership of Chen Shaohua, Yang Fan, Lu Mingfa, Li Zhengjun and Han Jiang, as well as several officers from the Navy, the supervisors and technicians participating in the speed test, a group of nearly twenty people got on the bus and went to a restaurant not far from the Donghai Shipyard.

A large private room, two tables of hearty meals.

There were also two bottles of white wine on each table. Obviously, you could drink some wine at night. Everyone was not polite. Open the bottle and pour the wine. The atmosphere was very lively.

......

the next day.

As soon as he got to work, Yang Fan walked into Chief Designer Pan's desk and reported to him the speed test of the first voyage. After listening to the report, Pan Jinfu smiled with relief.

The power system of the 052 ship is well designed and has strong power. The 052 ship fully meets the maximum speed design requirements.

There are two more voyages in the next test test, but there is no need for Yang Fan to board the ship and participate in the speed test test in person. You can choose to participate in other tests.

Chapter completed!
