My German friends - HELP!

[Nick Sumner]

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the following German words?

môglich

UeberIegungen

Verringèrung

Einlassventiie

Ventilait

verstelibar

Ventiluebershneidungen

geiindert

erfoigreichen

Ladeluftzwischenund

endkuehlern,

Gegenlaufgetriebe,

I speak no German and am trying to translate bits and pieces of Flugmoteren und stahltreibwerke using Babelfish and the program doesn't recognise these words.

[Che_Guevara]

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the following German words?

môglich = possible, feasible

UeberIegungen = consideration

Verringèrung = decrease

Einlassventiie = inlet valves; induction valves

Ventilait <= don´t know the word sry, maybe another spelling

verstelibar = adjustable

Ventiluebershneidungen = overlab of valves

geiindert = gehindert = detain

erfoigreichen = successful

Ladeluftzwischenund = Ladeluftkühler = charge air cooler

endkuehlern, =Endradiator

Gegenlaufgetriebe,= ?Gear contra effect ?

Hope that´s helpful, the meaning depends on the context, however this translation should be right at all ;)


Regards,
Che.

[Nick Sumner]

Many thanks Che!

Just one more question, does Ladeluftkuhler mean 'intercooler' in English?

Drehzahlen revs revolutions rpm

Schwingwunsdämpfer (swing absorbers?) (torsional) vibration-damper - depending on the topic

aufgeben give up


But you won't ever give up, will you...? ;)

"HE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!" Ha! [:o)] Gotcha, Winston!

Thanks Montana, no wonder online dictionaries couldn't make them out - half of them were mis-spelled - that's what comes of using OCR, an old scanner and a photocopy!

More German words I'm stuck on

Korrossionserscheinungen

does this mean 'corrosion' or 'metal fatigue'?

Nebenpleuelstangen

Kolbenfressern

[GregP]

Korrossionserscheinungen

Nebenpleuelstangen

Kolbenfressern


I would say:

Korrossionserscheinungen = signs of corrosion

Nebenpleuelstangen = (an uncomon word) side connecting rods (Greg says might be a valve rocker arm)

Kolbenfresser (no "n" at the end, not even in plural) = piston seizure

[Nick Sumner]

RT, Greg,

Danke!

[Nick Sumner]

So if you aren't yet sick of my questions...

Spüldruck and Spülluft ? Druck is pressure, luft is air, but Spül?

[Che_Guevara]

hola nick,

Spülluft is scavenging air and Spüldruck is maybe scavenging pressure?

Spülen itself means something to rinse (out) ;)

[Nick Sumner]

Thank you Che!

Dreigang-Grenzlader

three speed intercooler?

three speed supercharger?

[Romantic Technofreak]

Maybe so, Nick. But what puzzles me is "Grenz", what means "limit" or "border":confused:

hi RT, its from the latest edition of Flugmotoren und Straltreibwerke. the passages in question are the following with a babelfish assisted translation as well.

DB 630
Der 36-Zylinder-Daimler-Benz-Motor DB 630 C hatte in der leistungsgesteigerten Version bei einem Hubraum von 88,4 Litern eine Startleistung von 3450 kW (4700 PS) und eine Volldruckhôhe von 12 000 m. Er war ein flüssigkeitsgekühlter 6-Reihen-Motor in W-Form mit zweistufigem Abgasturbolader und dreistufigem Dreigang-Grenzlader.

The 36 Cylinder Daimler-Benz DB630 C had a take-off power of 3450 KW (4700 HP) in the uprated version with a capacity of 88.4 litres and a rated altitude of 12,000 M. It was a liquid-cooled engine with 6 cylinder banks in W-form with two-stage supercharger and three speed three-course border loader.

DB X24
Der 24-Zylinder-Daimler-Benz-Motor DB X24 in X-Form war eine Weiterentwicklung des DB 604 mit einer auf 11000 m vergrô¬13erten Volldruckhôhe, einem Hubraum von 50 Litern und einer Startleistung von 2570 kW (3500 PS). Die Zylinderreihen waren unter 90° zueinander angeordnet. Der Motor hatte einen dreistufigen Hôhenlader (Grenzlader) mit Dreiganggetriebe.

The 24 cylinder Daimler-Benz X24 project was an X-block motor was a development of the DB604 with an increase in rated altitude to 11000 m, a capacity of 50 litres and a take-off power of 2570 KW (3500 HP). The cylinders were at 90° to each other. The engine had a three speed elevator loader (border loader) with three-course transmission.

[Romantic Technofreak]

Nick, I would see "Höhenlader" as special supercharger for high altitudes ("Höhen"). What "Grenz" means is not understandable without deeper technical understanding (what I don't have). If necessary, I have to make a request in a German forum.

[Kutscha]

RT, could you help in translating the column headings from this site please?

http://www.ww2.dk/articles/elwn1.html

Verband = unit
Flgz. Muster = a/c type
Flgz = a/c
Soll = ?
Ist = ?
Eins = ?
Besatzung = pilots

It would be nice if a sticky thread could be made. In this I mean just the German words and their English translation in alphabetical order.

[Romantic Technofreak]

Sure, Kutscha. I shall try my best.

"Verband = unit"
The correct translation of "Verband" is "formation", while "unit" would be "Einheit", but both words often are used synonymously.

"Flgz. Muster = a/c type"
"Flgz = a/c"
Correct.

"Soll = ?"
"Ist = ?"
Not easy to be seen, but connected with numbers these are abbreviations for "Sollbestand" and "Istbestand". These mean "planned stock" and "actual stock".

"Eins = ?"
The fullstop (or period) in the source is crucial here. This is an abbreviation of "Einsätze", meaning "sorties flown".

Besatzung = pilots
The correct translation is "crew". "Pilots" would be "Piloten".

Go ahead if you have more. Organization of forum threads in an alphabetical order seems to be impossible. I had such an idea already on airwarfareforum.com. The idea was considered good, but the administrator does not know how to manage that, and I don't know either.

Regards, RT

[Kutscha]

Thanks RT.

Besatzung = pilots
The correct translation is "crew". "Pilots" would be "Piloten".

LOL, me brain had a hiccup especially if one looks at a/c with more than just the pilot for crew. ;)

Was already answered in contribution #7 by Montana(motor). No need to copy and repeat that. You better introduce yourself on your first posting.

Volldruckhöhe = full throttle height = critical height
