Chinese infantry fighting vehicles

Good point, looks like that box can open up
Question about this for everyone.

1) I assume that's the heat dissipation vents. That is huge. Have we seen the tank with a similarly large vent? It'd be curious just to think about how much heat it is giving off to require such a large vent or maybe this just allows better air circulation and natural cooling.
2) What are those tubes?
3) That's a lot of sensors looking at the back. makes me wonder just what type of usage they plan to require that much situation awareness to the rear.

No. 1 is the cooling system. The large number of onboard electronics—radars and sensors—drives a cooling requirement that exceeds that of conventional vehicles.”

Okay and thank you for the image, but what are their translations of the wording in the image.
Being the dumb tanker that I am, I am going to assume the image color code means something. My assumption since I cannot read Mandurian is that the orange box is the Thermal Management System ( TMS) that is for cooling the electronics of the vehicle. The Purple is the power unit or combustion engine, The green is the armored hull, the yellow is the track & roadwheels, the white bar shown through the Turret ring are the torsion bars, and the white assembly in front of the purple power unit (engine) is the transmission or a generator.
But again I cannot read Mandurian and these are my assumptions based my just a couple decades in tanks.
Many modern armor fighting vehicles with complex electronic components require cooling systems to reduce the build-up of heat that emanates from these electronic components. Many if not all of these electronic components are a sealed box to operate in a military vehicle that exposes them to hydraulic fluids, oils, engine heat, etc. In the M1A2 SEP tanks there is a TMS system mounted in the bustle rack. An external mount, and here it appears the Norinco developers built the TMS as a part of the body. That in itself is an interesting trade off with the internal volume of the vehicle.

The spoken language is Mandarin, but the script is Chinese (hanzi). You can read the same script many different ways (Cantonese, Hakka, etc).

Looks like purple is engine, silver part is electric generator and transmission. Orange is radiator/heat dissipation unit.

BTW this shows the Type 100 using torsion bar suspension.
