Chapter 19 Manufacture the first automobile diesel engine in China
Who invented the world's first diesel engine?
It is Rudolf Diesel, the father of diesel engines.
Engineer Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris on March 18, 1858. His father was from Augsburg and his mother was from Nuremberg.
In 1936, Mercedes-Benz built the first sedan equipped with a Diesel engine. It was not until around 1950 that diesel engines were widely used in trucks.
Diesel engines are widely used in modern automobiles, ships, ships, generators, construction machinery, and even the entire industrial field.
The purpose of Zhou Wenhua to his father's automobile factory today is to personally develop a diesel engine to create the first car equipped with a diesel engine in advance to seize the domestic and foreign markets.
Especially in the domestic market that lacks oil, diesel engines are even more needed to guide the strategy.
With the diesel engine, Zhou Wenhua didn't have to worry that the oil needed for the engine would be suppressed by foreign foreigners and cut off the supply of goods.
You should know that the torque of later BMW 335d diesel cars is even greater than that of the famous m3.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8 all have very popular diesel models, which is an example.
However, during the Republic of China period, there was no science and technology like later generations, which could achieve the vibration and noise levels of diesel engines that were comparable to those of top gasoline engines.
However, the popularity of diesel engines in automobiles was due to the outbreak of the oil crisis in 1973 that major brands of automobile manufacturing companies entered the state of R&D.
Therefore, the reason why Zhou Wenhua chose this diesel engine to develop his first car was based on solving the problem of oil shortage.
However, after 1927, most trucks in Europe were run by diesel engines, so diesel engines are not new in foreign powers, they are commonly used engines.
Including the diesel injection device, it also developed at this time. It is also because of the emergence of this device that the diesel engine is fully suitable for assembly in cars for operation and driving.
Even in 1913, German aviation pioneer Hugo Juncker had already installed diesel engines on board and flew.
Coommins of Indiana, USA, installed the diesel engine on the car and won 12th in the indianapolis 500 competition.
However, Mercedes-Benz Motor Company only installed diesel engines on Mercedes-Benz 260d sedan in 1936.
However, historical data also show that Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company's first car to assemble a diesel engine was in 1934 or 1935.
Because in the 1930s, the price of diesel in Germany was less than half of the price of gasoline.
So in order to save money and open up new markets, Mercedes-Benz Motor Company vigorously launched the 260d sedan and achieved commercial success in one fell swoop.
Not only did it obtain most of the market quota in the rental industry, it even achieved good sales results in the sales market. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz has developed and produced diesel engine cars for almost 100 years.
In the later era of advanced science and technology, we are still constantly striving to develop better and more newer diesel engines.
The rotary piston diesel engine was developed in 1954 after the sealing problem was solved by Federal German engineer Wankeer, who developed the rotary piston engine in 1957, also known as the Wankeer engine.
This is also a new direction that Zhou Wenhua plans to develop in the future, and plans to take possession in advance to apply for patents.
As for the diesel fuel injection pump, it was produced by Robert Bosch, founder of the German Bosch Group, on November 30, 1927.
However, Germany's first truck equipped with a turbocharger diesel engine was not launched in 1951 after the birth of Germany's Mann Company.
As for exhaust gas turbochargers, they were first used in marine engines in 1925. Then, with the supercharge technology, they were continuously applied to ships, and they were not widely used until the intercooler appeared, and they were assembled into cars for application.
So when Zhou Wenhua entered his father's car factory,
He simply nodded to the maintenance masters, factory workers, and car apprentices to say hello,
He immediately called Hu Yuan, the manager of the automobile factory, and Zhou Wenlong, the supervisor of the maintenance technology department, to his office for an emergency meeting.
"The purpose of my visit here this time is to develop the first domestic brand car belonging to our Zhoujia Automobile Factory!"
"And I will be the main planner, engineer, designer, and supervisory management this time!"
"In addition, I plan to change the original name of our Zhou family's automobile factory to a New Era Auto Company!"
"The reason I use the name 'New Era' is because I want to build our automobile factory into the first most famous automobile brand in China, lead the development of domestic domestic automobiles, and lead the way with the latest automotive technology!"
"Make a pioneering contribution to the development of automobile technology in our country!"
When the effective management of these two Zhoujia Automobile Factory sat down,
Zhou Wenhua immediately made it straight to the point and told him the purpose of his coming here.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, the manager Hu Yuan and the supervisor of the maintenance technology department Zhou Wenlong were shocked and exclaimed.
They were full of incredible expressions.
"But the Fourth Young Master! There is no domestic automobile company in China that can have its own R&D capabilities. Moreover, all the parts needed by our domestic automobile companies now need to be provided by foreigners' imported goods!"
"In short, our country not only lacks the ability to independently develop, and has talents, but also does not even have many production factories for automobile manufacturing raw materials!"
"So I think it's hard to achieve the one you just said!"
"Analyze it based on my years of experience in the automotive industry!"
However, after returning to his senses, Zhou Wenlong, the head of the maintenance technology department, shook his head and took the lead in a deep speech, as an expert in the technical field, analyzed Zhou Wenhua.
Because he feels that in the country where industrial capabilities are basically zero, and in the country where there is no R&D capabilities, he wants to create his own car brand and his own car technology.
That's simply a foolish dream and not realistic at all.
Especially now that it is still blocked by foreign countries, various scientific and technological patents have been blocked, it is even more difficult to achieve.
Especially Zhou Wenhua's age is only a senior year to a senior high school age.
So Zhou Wenlong, the supervisor of the maintenance technology department, felt that Zhou Wenhua had no knowledge at all.
Otherwise, there would be such a simple way to make a boast of things, and to say something about creating a domestic car brand and leading the domestic car technology trend.
I really don’t know how big the outside world is, it’s just a good place to look at the sky.
This is the common idea that Zhou Wenlong, the head of the maintenance technology department, and Hu Yuan, the head of the automobile factory.
