    Daimler-Benz 601/603/605 supercharger location conducive to 2-stage supercharging

    I was thinking that the side-mounted DB supercharger might be conducive to 2-stage supercharging.
    My idea is to mount a second side-mounted supercharger - one on each side of the engine.
    This leaves space for inter and/or aftercooling.



    I'm wondering if this layout facilitates 2-stage supercharging better than other layouts.
    For example, the V-1710 was rather awkward to setup with 2-stage supercharging. It ended up with a rather bulky shaft-driven 2nd stage supercharger.

    Keeping them compact was a requirement for both the 603LA and 605L motors, but these used a blower inside a blower didn't they, still on the one side. Dunno why.

    For the bulkiest blower setup I've ever seen, can't remember the aircraft name but it had a 605A driving the second stage blower for two 603 motors in a three engine job, using two thrust engines. Now that's getting complicated with your blower setup.

    That would be Do-217P - got quite the altitude that way.

    So, the idea had been thought about, pre-war.

    side-mounted DB supercharger might be conducive to 2-stage supercharging.

    If the 2,000 hp DB605D engine powered the Ta-152 rather then the larger and heavier Jumo213 engine that might be a good idea. Placing a smaller engine in the Fw-190 engine compartment might allow room for the intercooler plumbing. However I doubt it would fit in a Me-109.

    The development target for the Ta152 was upwards of 2300PS however. As it was Dietmar says a switch from the Jumo to the 603LA was planned for the 152H for this reason Mar45.


    Hey Jerry, was that the engine which had the engine air intake through the prop hub?

    How about the DB-624 in the Ta 152c.

    Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind!

    According to GED0112 that engine had a turbocharger and a two stage supercharger.

    That would be the DB628 - a 2 stage 605.

    DB628

    I think it gives a neat installation, especially when using the annualr radiators as well.

    And here's the back end of the 624

    The shaft extension drive was so that the auxialiary compressor could have different gearing and use a fluid coupling to vary the speed to compensate for altitude. Early 2 stage Allisons had the carb on the auxiliary supercharger, but later reverted to the carb on the engine supercharger enabling the core engine to be common with turbocharged versions. That is, they used the same engine supercharger (not necessarily gearing) and carby, but could not use intercooling or aftercooling.

    Here's a bulky 2 stage setup - the R-2800-32W

    http://www.enginehistory.org/P&W/R-2800-32W.jpg

    That had a single speed engine supercharger, and two side mounted, variable speed (fluid coupling) auxiliary superchargers.

    The two side mounted superchargers fed a pair of air to air intercoolers, which then fed the updraft carby.

    This is the only picture of a 2 stage V-1710 I could find

    http://www.rotaryeng.net/V1710TC.jpg

    Though it is actually the turbo compound, with a turbine taken from a C-series turbo (Allison used B-series turbos) for exhaust energy recovery. The 2 stage engine basically stopped at teh auxiliary supercharger.

    Allison had developed an intercooled V-1710, the -119 (F32R). It was installed in the XP-51J. A drawing dated October 12th 1944 is featured in the page 187 of 'Vee's for victory', along with photo of engine. WEP = 1720 HP at 20700 ft (wet), MIL = 1200 HP at 30000 ft.
