KLOCKNER - HUMBOLT - DEUTZ
(Germany)
(see KHD).
This company manufactured BMW engines during WWII.
-They made the Bristol Orpheus at the end of the war for their planes of the new Luftwaffe.
-They also made the Lycoming T-53 and T-64. KHB made engines with Snecma and MTU and with Turbomeca los Larzac 04.
-From their own design were the T-16, T-112, T-117, T-118, T-128, T-212, T-216, T-312 and T-317.
-Little known were the Diesel engines that they made during the war, like the DZ-700, an 8-cylinder radial from 1940 that gave 118 kW of power at 2,700 rpm. It had little displacement, 4 liters.
“DZ-700”
-It is difficult to obtain a nice picture of the engine. The image of this DZ-700 is very blurred but allows us to guess the architecture of the engine; radial.
-The DZ-710 was a 2-stroke, horizontally-opposed, 16-cylinder engine displacing 52 liters and giving 2,700 CV.
“DZ-710”
-This was in the years 1942/43
And there is no illustration of the DZ-720 engine but it is known that there were two coupled DZ-710 engines in “H” configuration to give 5,400 CV with 32 cylinders.
From Appendix 6: A nice drawing of the T-117 in which we see the single inverted chamber. It seems to be derived from the stationary T-212 (APU).
“T-117, 234 lbf of thrust”
From Appendix 9: During WWII, the Hamburg and Brunn factories also made BMW-801 engines.
