RESULTS OF THE TESTING OF THE BRDM-2L1(sb) ARMORED RECONNAISSANCE AND SURVEILLANCE VEHICLE WITH A DOUTZ BF4M1013FC DIESEL ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON TYPICAL SECTIONS OF THE ROAD

Abstract

The article analyzes the testing methodology of the BRDM-2L1(sb) armored reconnaissance vehicle with a DOUTZ BF4M1013FC diesel engine, designed to replace the BRDM carbureted vehicles with a gasoline engine currently available in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They received a new mileage that provides assistance in performing their functions around the clock in zones with different climates. During the tests of the prototype of the BRDM-2L1(sb) armored reconnaissance vehicle with an installed DOUTZ BF4M1013FC engine. The analysis of the test results with the obtained results of parameter measurements showed that when replacing the engine, the reliability of the machine is ensured, on which the performance of combat tasks depends, directly the life of the military, which will have a positive effect on the defense capability of the country. The tests were carried out on the running section of the track, which consisted of sections of the road with an asphalt surface and a soil surface, as well as sections with marshy terrain with a large number of turns, both closed and open, on which there were ridges with a height of 30 m to 150 m and slopes from 12 º to 30 º. At the same time, obtaining the necessary information was ensured with the help of a complete set of control and measuring devices installed. As a result, it was established that the BRDM-2L1(sb) with a DOUTZ BF4M1013FC diesel engine when moving along a typical route, taking into account the varying difficulty of overcoming terrain, has an average speed of 69 kilometers per hour and a fuel consumption of 0.69 liters per 1 kilometer on a mixed-surface route which has much better performance than carbureted BRDM cars with a gasoline engine.
