"Okay, okay?" Pierre didn't know how many times he asked. At this time, the reporters' cameras were constantly taking photos. It was obvious that they were just looking at them being ugly. There must be no accident in their engine this time. This small accident must be passed quickly.
What's going on?
Someone moved their engine and caused damage?
Of course it is impossible. Since their engines were transported, they have been under special care. When they disassembled and assembled, they also checked that the packaging boxes outside were intact. No one had touched them. Even if the oil was brought by them, what could something go wrong?
It must be an accident, and I will check it carefully after I go back.
Just under his urging, the engine finally checked again.
"Hey, are you okay?" Dr. Wright said: "This is a turbine, which is very dangerous. If you are not sure, then forget it."
This kind of sarcastic remark was heard in Pierre's ears, and he just barked as a dog, and he ignored the other party at all. At this time, there was no need for a verbal dispute.
Pierre's face was anxious, and sweat came out from his forehead. Finally, the engine was assembled again.
Aria looked at the pool of oil stains on the ground and looked a little ugly. Well, when the exhibition ends, they will have to deduct a part of the deposit they paid in advance as a cleaning fee.
Thinking of this, looking at the other party's tank engine, he was ready to start again.
"Okay, let's start again, just a little accident." Pierre said to the people around him: "I promise, no more problems will happen this time."
start up!
The 24-volt power entered the starter through two starter batteries. The nine-kilowatt starter motor was buzzing. Driven by the starter motor, the turbine emitted waves of black smoke after wave. Soon, the black smoke rose on the scene, just like a fire scene.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this thing must have had a malfunction.
For an engine, if it is not fully burned during startup, it will definitely cause black smoke to emerge. But now, it has been so popular that it can't start up after so much time. If you don't say anything else, the starting motor can't stand it, right?
The starting motor was obviously overheated and made a weak sound. Pierre stared at the situation blankly. Suddenly, his eyes swept to something beside him, and then he immediately grabbed it.
Engine start fluid!
Diesel engine ignition is a compression ignition type. In order to be able to compress and burn, the compression ratio is very high, usually above 14. In winter, diesel cannot burn because the temperature in the cylinder does not meet the standard.
Therefore, in the cold winter, as an auxiliary starting method, the engine start fluid can be used. The main components of the starting fluid of this engine are diethyl ether, which has a low flash point and is easy to evaporate, which can enable the diesel engine to start smoothly at low temperatures.
However, the temperature here is very high and there is no difficulty in starting at low temperatures. Generally speaking, the quality of the new engine is quite high, and it can be started even in the cold winter and does not require engine starting fluid.
So, this bottle of engine start fluid actually appeared here, and Pierre didn't know that they actually carried this kind of thing when they came, but since they saw it, this thing is now the last life-saving straw.
Spray in and try to see if it can be activated!
This kind of engine start fluid is only used to start a diesel engine. Gas turbines are not needed. However, in order to be common with diesel engines, their gas turbines use diesel oil, which is difficult to ignite. This is obvious to all. It may be easy to use start fluid.
(I checked a lot of information, but I couldn't find out what fuel this auxiliary gas turbine uses. It is said that it is best to use aviation fuel. However, since it is used with diesel engines, I guess there will be no need to add two fuels, right? In that case, the tank soldiers and logistics will have to scold me, so the possibility of using diesel should be the greatest.)
His hand pressed the jet button, and a stream of white smoke, in a cone shape, heading towards the engine's air inlet.
This kind of starter liquid is used to take effect. Now, as he sprayed the starter liquid in, sure enough, the black smoke there was gone, and a small flame suddenly sprayed out from the engine exhaust pipe!
Started successfully!
Sure enough, as long as the startup fluid is used, all the problems of starting difficulties can be solved. Pierre thought to himself in his heart, and at the same time, his hands also loosened, with a smile on his face.
What are you afraid of? It’s just a small accident. Well, in the future, different climates can be used to prevent the engine parameters from being adjusted in time. How could there be problems with our French technology?
At this moment, his pupils suddenly dilated.
There is nothing to do with the turbines spitting fire. In fact, even car engines will spit out occasionally. The inside of the turbine is originally a way to burn and push the turbine blades. However, after starting up and working normally, it should not spit out again.
What about now?
The flames in the exhaust pipe not only did not stop, but became larger and larger. Instead, the flames replaced the black smoke and began to spray out. The people around them also began to have fear in their eyes.
It's on fire, it's on fire!
A handful of starter fluid will actually ignite the engine. Once the flame rises, the consequences will be serious.
This is a confined space, and the exhibition site is crowded. Once a fire catches, it is easy to cause congestion and trampling!
When he saw flames appearing from the engine exhaust pipe, Aria's face suddenly changed.
"Quick, put out the fire!" Aria shouted loudly.
Once the crowding starts, it will no longer be controlled. There is really something wrong with my mind. How can I agree with this kind of display by the French?
If it is a mature engine, it's fine, this thing is unreliable at all!
At this time, Aria was quite decisive and immediately ordered the fire to be put out. At this time, after receiving the news, several people who had already prepared had run up with fire extinguishers, and then, white foam wrapped the beautifully shaped engine.
Just when the crowd was not in chaos due to panic, the scene was already under control. Looking at the scene there, Ariya was filled with fear. If something really happened, he, the person in charge, would definitely not be able to escape responsibility!
