Abstract

The scheme of an electric installation of an unmanned underwater vehicle based on a chemical current source of aluminum–water type with an alkaline electrolyte is considered. The mass–volume and energy characteristics of energy sources based on the aluminum–water system with an alkaline electrolyte and the characteristics of the main and auxiliary batteries of energy sources are given. It is shown that, in terms of stored energy, installations with chemical current sources of the aluminum–oxygen system are equivalent to installations with aluminum–water current sources in an alkaline electrolyte and have about six times more energy than an SP-200 battery and twice as much as installations with magnesium–seawater current sources. The given characteristics of power plants show that hydronic chemical current sources based on aluminum are promising and have competitive indicators, but require the development of the production of appropriate materials for electrodes.
