выпрямляющий аппарат

English translation: airflow straightener

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Russian term or phrase: выпрямляющий аппарат English translation: airflow straightener Entered by: James McVay

13:50 Mar 16, 2018

Russian to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / World War II tank
Russian term or phrase: выпрямляющий аппарат I'm pretty sure this isn't a rectifier. It appears to have something to do with airflow in the tank’s cooling system for its electric drivetrain. Here's the context: Представляет интерес система воздушного охлаждения электромашин трансмиссии. Воздух, забираемый вентилятором со стороны привода, поступает через выпрямляющий аппарат в шахту генераторов и, обтекая корпус снаружи, доходит до решетки, расположенной между корпусами переднего и заднего главных генераторов. Здесь воздушный поток разветвляется: часть воздуха продолжает двигаться дальше по шахте в кормовой отсек, где, расходясь вправо и влево, поступает к тяговым двигателям и от них в атмосферу через окна выброса в кормовом листе корпуса.

Nick Filatov (Mikalai Filatau) Belarus 14:05 Mar 16, 2018  As Vladys specified above, this is a straightener — Airflow Straightener to be exact James McVay United States ASKER I should have mentioned… 13:56 Mar 16, 2018  The electric drivetrain has DC generators. That's why I don't think the выпрямляющий аппарат is a rectifier. Automatic update in 00:

Notes to answerer Asker: More of an explanation is needed. What makes you think it's a rectifier when the generators produce DC current.

Grading comment Thanks, Vladys.
Notes to answerer Asker: While your suggestion is probably correct, I'm afraid your reference isn't applicable. This isn't about a car with a bent frame.
