What is the difference between the V-2 and V-6 tank engines?

Of course, the V-2 and V-6 models are very popular among tank engines. Although they belong to the same class and type, these models of tank engines differ significantly from each other, says on Argun.kz.

Modifications of the V-2 and V-6 tank engines belong to the same class and type of engines, have the same cylinder diameter and piston stroke. The working cycle indicators of the V-2 and V-6 models, as well as the main design parameters, such as the crankshaft speed, compression ratio, piston speed and cylinder pressure, have similar values.

However, in terms of design, these two engine families differ significantly from each other in the following characteristics. For example, the V-2 tank engines are two-block, twelve-cylinder, and have a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders. But the V-6 model is single-block and has a vertical arrangement of cylinders.

Also, an electric starter is installed on the V-6 tank engines, which is a difference from the V-2 model. In addition, the design of the V-6 model, like the V-2, has a large number of parts and assembly units. That is, a cylinder block with a head and a valve timing mechanism, an oil pump, pistons, a fuel pump, a water pump, fuel and oil filters. And it is important to note that the V-6 and V-2 tank engines are produced in various modifications, depending on the purpose.
