Closed and re-cycled engine development for submersible powerplants submarines

摘要

Development work conducted on closed and recycled diesel systemsis reviewed, the technical problems encountered are discussed in thelight of operational requirements, and the nontechnical policy issuesthat have at times restricted development are examined. The futureoperational requirements that submersible power systems may have tofulfil are discussed, and an appraisal is given of how well the AIPdiesel is likely to meet these
