Argus As10 Engine Performance Charts/Manuals?

[Night-Fighter]

Hello everyone!

I'm doing some research on the Storch and was wondering if anyone had any performane charts for the Argus As10, perhaps as well a manual?

There doesn't seem to be much I can find on the web, although I see some manuals for sale on AircraftReports (legit?) and the bundesarchiv has a couple as shown in their catalog, although no digital versions exist.

Thought I'd check here before exploring the other two avenues.

Thanks for any help!

This is what I have re performance:

200 hp at 1880 rpm sustained
220 hp at 1940 rpm for 30 minutes
240 hp at 2000 rpm TO for 5 minutes

2600 rpm max over-rev in dive for no more than 1 minute
Compression ratio of 5.9:1

I have no idea what that cost is in euros or dollars

I do not know if Yandex is still on line but if so use them to translate that site to English.

Does anyone know what the three open ports are on the top (starboard side here) of the engine crankcase on the Ar 10? These are also present on the port side. Curiously, the Storch had small scoops atop the cowl which line up with these, but only on the port side

Given that the As 410 was a sort of derivative of the As 10 the answer may be in this manual page from the Polish Air Museum in Krackow. Sorry I have lost the link to the manual but it should not be hard to find. On the 410 there appears to be only one scoop labelled vent connection if my translation software is correct.

I would expect that at least one on line manual sales outlet has an As 10 manual. I would suggest the luftfahrt-archiv-hafner.de site as first option as many of the other sites have pirated, lower quality, rip offs of his manuals.

Thank you for the reply. I was thinking these were some kind of breather ports. Re the two rows of three ports on the Ar10 versus only three scoops on the top of the cowl, there most likely was some plumbing to link them all that is not shown on any drawing or photo that I could find.

Taken from the "Fieseler 156 parts list," this view shows six pipes 11-12-13-14 (x2) - 15 referenced "Stutzen."
Three on the left side face forward, the other three face backward, suggesting circulation. A system similar to the Hispano-Suiza "ventilated bearings"?

 

[Casor]

Thank you. "Stutzen" translates into "pillar" or "support". Later model Storchs had a reverse scoop added on the starboard side over all three rearward facing ports presumably to evacuate the circulating air

Yes, I've seen several photos of Storch cowlings with three individual scoops facing forward on the port side, and a single, larger one facing aft on the starboard side.

In the same "parts list," which can be downloaded here

Hi All, another form the excellent cockpit instruments cheers Jerry

there are some other views of the engine (p. 191 - 193 - 195) that shows that these famous "stutzen" are oriented in two opposite directions, like the scoops, and that they actually look more like trumpets than actual supports.
