Mine. When a thermal power torpedo is working, fuel and water enter the combustion chamber at the same time. After combustion, steam is generated, which drives the engine and drives the propeller to rotate and propel. The steam after doing the work is directly discharged into the seawater, creating a wake. The advantages of the thermal power torpedo are
always able
It has high capacity and high speed, and can choose different speeds, usually more than 50 kilometers; at the same time, it has a long range, up to more than 4,5 kilometers, or even 8,000 meters. The disadvantage is that it has an obvious wake, poor concealment, and is easily detected by the opponent.
It was found that; furthermore, it cannot work in very large depths. The thermal power engine was invented by the American E.W. Bliss in 1904. At that time, the torpedo equipped with the thermal power engine reached a speed of 65 kilometers per hour and a range of 2,740 meters.
