I remember DC7s but I never remember any of them being that smokey when starting engines. I well remember Lockheed Constellations being super smokey everytime they started engines. Maybe the aircraft in this video was super smokey because of its age ?

I was an L-1011 terminal mechanic in Miami back when these and other big radial hogs were flying cargo to the Caribbean. It was awesome when they were pushing max power and had there ADI (alcohol anti-detonate injection) running on a dark night. Six foot long blue flames would pour out the stacks............good times.

I know what the difference is between a supercharged and a turbocharged engine, but I'm still not quite sure what the difference was between a turbocharged engine on a normal fighter and the "power recovery" type of turbocharged engines on the Super Constellation and DC7. They called them "power recovery" turbines, but aren't all turbochargers, by definition, "power recovery" devices? What's special about the power recovery turbines on Super Constellations and DC7s that makes them different from other turbocharged engines?
@1flyride2 жыл бұрын
PRT's are exhaust-driven and transfer the extracted power via mechanical connection to the crankshaft. Turbocharger is exhaust-driven and increases intake air density. Supercharger is engine-driven and increases intake air air density.
@paulmurphy422 жыл бұрын
@@1flyride Many thanks for such a clear reply...so the PRT is really a mixture of both supercharger and turbocharger?
@1flyride2 жыл бұрын
@@paulmurphy42 More like turbo than a supercharger. The only thing in common between PRT and supercharger is the direct engine coupling. The PRT transfers power to the engine (increasing fuel efficiency), while the supercharger pulls power out of the engine (decreasing fuel efficiency and increasing net power via intake air density).
@rescue270 Жыл бұрын
There were three Power Recovery Turbines- PRTs- on each engine. These were exhaust driven turbines that were positioned in the exhaust ring just aft of the aft cylinder row and connected to the crankshaft via a long shaft with a fluid coupling and a bevel gear. The power generated by the turbines was transferred directly to the crankshaft to add more power. I'm told that each PRT added about 150 extra horsepower to the crankshaft. The PRTs were notoriously pyrotechnical. TWA was reporting ten engine failures every day on Super Constellations (I hate it when they call them Connies) mostly due to PRTs blowing their tops. In addition to the PRTs, the engine also had a conventional integral supercharging system.
