POWER UNIT FOR STARTING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: equipment for external starting of internal combustion engines; armored objects in particular. SUBSTANCE: proposed power unit includes generator connected with drive motor, control console, two groups of capacitance energy accumulators made in form of capacitors with double electric layer, output connectors and switchgear with contactors operating at start of internal combustion engine; accumulators of first group are connected in parallel and accumulators of second group are interconnected through contacts of switchgear for series connection during start of internal combustion engine; positive leads of accumulators of first group are connected to positive leads of accumulators of second group through power diodes. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of engine start and adherence to cranking rate in wider temperature range ((±40^°C).). 5 cl, 1 dwg
