Chinese Marine Propulsion

China's first 10MW-class permanent magnet motor (TYC 10000-18-H) for podded drives has obtained certification. The motor is a member of the TFY(C)-H family of permanent magnet motors.

Late to the news, but I don't think this has been posted here before:

Recently, a 5MW medium-voltage diesel generator for a project undertaken by China State Shipbuilding Corporation 704 successfully passed the factory quality review and delivered the unit. As the first domestic marine diesel generator in this field, it marks the 704th Institute’s equipment New breakthroughs were made in research and development work.

The image below is from an academic article, which I believe talks specifically about this generator. It states that the output is 5MW at a rated speed of 1066 rpm. The dimensions are around 11000 mm × 2800 mm x 3900 mm. It weighs <92 tons, with the diesel engine weighing 49.5 tons, the generator set around 23 tons, and other auxiliary equipment about 4 tons.

There is supposed to be an intercooled version of the UGT-25000 in the works. They could also in theory make a naval gas turbine out of the CJ-2000 engine when that comes out.

Speaking of which:



Improved upon the GT-25000 with the addition of intercooler (and recuperator as well?), this could be the intermediate solution that should be able to be ready in the coming years (though not exactly immediately) before the marine variant of the CGT-40 is ready.

Perhaps the 052D/DG-successor class DDG and follow-up classes to the 055 DDG could be its users?
