1.0 Description of pneumatic system
Pneumatic system of the locomotive is with compressed air type and used for
locomotive Brakes, Controls, Trailing load.
Two belt driven compressors connected through a counter shaft assembly & two
engines mounted Compressor together provides adequate capacity is used for main
air source. System pressure is normally set to 7.0 kg/cm2.
2.0 Compressed air charging and compressor governing
Compressed air from the compressors charges through the respective Hose (3) Non
return valve (4), after cooler (6), J-1Air filter with drain cock (7.1) to the two main
reservoirs (8.1 & 8.2) of 144 liter capacity each. From where it connected to one
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
25/155
in the air reservoirs is indicated in the human machine interface (HMI) of display
screen. The pressure switches (GAPS) when it cuts out, activates an inbuilt electrical
contact. This electrical contact is wired to energize the governor magnet valve
(GMV), to open its delivery port to actuate Automatic drain valves (9.1 & 9.2) at all
three reservoirs. These auto drain valves purge any condensation from air
reservoirs. A branch off from this line is taken to actuate the unloader valve (inbuilt in
engine mounted compressor) which inhibits further build up of air pressure by
compressor till such time the system pressure drops to 6 kg/cm².
3.0 Brake pipe charging
The main reservoir air from air reservoir (8.3) charges into inlet port 30 of A-9Automatic brake valves (40.1 & 40.2), mounted in the driver’s control station. The A-
9 brake valve has an adjusting wheel, which is used to set the pressure of air
delivered at its port no.5 to 5kg/cm² at all the time. This pressure of 5kg/cm² at
delivery port no.5 of A-9 brake valve is reference pressure to which, brake pipe is to
be charged.
The delivery port no.5 of A-9 valve (40.1 &40.2) is connected to the inlet port of desk
change over box (41). The outlet port of desk change over box is connected to port
no.3 of 3/2-way valve (46), which is normally connected to outlet port no.2. From
outlet port 2 of 3/2-way valve (46) is connected to pilot port of C2 relay valve (48).
In this condition Main reservoir line is connected at port 1of C2 relay valve (48)
passes through outlet port 3 of relay valve and charges the locomotive brake pipe
connected to Brake-pressure line (53) pressure gauges (38 1 & 38 2) is provided on
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
26/155
at the same level as the signal pressure from the A-9 brake valve, against normal
leakage.
Two 3/4” cut-off cocks (49.1 & 49.2) are placed in BP charging & sensing lines,
close to BP train pipe. These cut-off cocks to be closed while loco connected
with other trailing stock during transit.
4.0 Automatic braking and Co - ordinate air brakes on Trailingstock
The compressed air charged into the brake pipe, passes through cut off cock (49.1)
and hose coupling (50) kept open on the train side of the locomotive into the brake
pipe of the trailing stock, where it charges into the Distributor valves provided in each
wagon. The cut off angle cock in the farthest end of the train needs to be closed.
When the brake pipe in the complete train is charged to 5kg/cm² the control valves in
the trailing stock move to connect the brake cylinder in respective trailing stock to
atmosphere at the Distributor valve exhaust and keeps the train brakes released.
4.1 Automatic braking application - service
Whenever it is required to apply the locomotive
brakes as well as the trailing load brakes, the
handle of A-9 automatic brake valve, is moved
in to the service brake application zone,
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
27/155
reduction in pilot air pressure at C2 relay valve (48) through 3/2 way valve (46), then
C2 relay valve (48) also to respond similarly by connecting the brake pipe to
atmosphere through its exhaust port till brake pipe pressure balances to the level of
reference pressure level at its pilot port no.2. The relay valve has a calibrated choke
fitted in its exhaust to control the rate of release of pressure from the brake pipe.
The C3W Distributor valve (43) responds to the loss of pressure at its brake pipe
(internal to C3W) port (BP) in comparison to the level of its reference air pressure in
its control reservoir and sends signal air pressure through its BC port-to-port no.2 at
C2 relay valve (33) via a double check valve (32.3). The max. signal pressure that
can be fed to the C2 relay valve (45) is controlled by the Distributor valve (43),
(which is set to 3.8kg/cm², at Brake pipe pressure of 0 kg/cm²). In this condition while
the C2 relay valve (33) receiving the pilot pressure from C3W distributor valve’s (43)
BC port, opens the MR supply at its port 1 to delivery port 3 and then the brake
cylinders. This pressurized air received by brake cylinders of the locomotive applies
brakes to the wheels. Two nos. of Duplex pressure gauge (38.1 & 38.2) provided on
the instrument panel to indicate the pressure at brake cylinders, of both bogies. The
½” isolating cocks (30.4) is provided between brake cylinders and C2 relay valve,
which should be closed at the time of cylinder’s overhauling.
For air braked trailing stock, reduction of pressure in the brake pipe as caused by the
A-9 brake valve will propagate throughout the length of the brake pipe in the trailing
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
28/155
4.2 Stabilization after application
After the desired brake pipe pressure reduction has been
achieved, the A-9 brake valve will lap itself at a pressure
level as governed by the position of its handle. Thestabilization of brake pipe pressure after the desired
reduction causes the C3W distributor valves in the trailing
stock also to reach a lap position, after the brake
application.
4.3 Graduated application
Further steps in brake application with increased intensity are realized by moving the
brake valve handle further into the application zone, which causes greater reductions
in the brake pipe pressure. The intensity of the brake cylinder pressure delivered by
the C3W Distributor valves both in locomotive and trailing stock also increases
proportionately to the degree of handle movement of the A-9 valve in the
application zone.
Following are the approximate values of the brake pipe output pressures at various
positions of the handle of the A-9 Automatic brake valve and the corresponding
brake cylinder pressures.

5.0 Independent brakes
When there is no trailing load had been connected to
locomotive, Independent brakes proves handy, faster &
economical. SA-9 brake valve (31.1& 31.2) is used for this
purpose. Port no.30 of the SA-9 brake valve is connected
to the main reservoir line, port no.20 is connected to the
C2 relay valve (33) through Double check valve (32.1 &32.2), port 1 & 7 of SA-9 brake valve are plugged. The
SA-9 brake valve has an adjusting wheel, which is used
to set the pressure of air delivered at its port no.20 to be
at 3. 8 kg/cm² approx.
5.1 Application of Independent brakes
When independent brake is to be applied the handle of SA-9 (31.1&31.2)
independent brake valve, is moved into the application zone. This results in MR
pressure from inlet port 30 to be fed into port 20. The air coming out of SA-9 (31.1 &
31.2) brake valve is at a pressure preset in the valve, this is propagated to the port
no.2 of C2 relay valve (33), through the double check valve (32.1 & 32.2.). Sensing
the signal at its port 2, causes C2 relay valve (33) to charge the 4 brake cylinders of
the locomotives only, in proportion to the air pressure available at its signal port no.2.
It may be noted that the process of independent brake application does not deplete
the Brake pipe pressure and it totally by- passes the operation of C3W distributor
valve of locomotive.
5.2 Release of Independent brakes
In order to release the applied brakes, the handle of SA-9 independent brake valve is
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
31/155
of C2 relay valve (33), hence quicker depletion of brake cylinder pressure at the
exhaust of relay valve (33).
6.0 Emergency Braking (Independent)
Emergency braking can also be applied from the
emergency brake valve (54.1. & 54.2), provided on
driver's desk. When operating head of the valve is
pushed down, the MR supply at its inlet port will
supplied through delivery port and through double
check valve (32.2 & 32.4) branches to port no.12
of 3/2 way valve (28.3) as pilot pressure. In this
condition the BP supply at 3/2 way valve (46) will
cuts off at port 3 and outlet port no.2 will be
connected to exhaust port no.1, by which the pilot
pressure at port no.2 of C2 relay valve (48) will be
withdrawn and the Brake pipe feeding line from
port no.3 of C2 relay valve (48) will be exhausted
to atmosphere in faster rate, by which the
depletion of brake pipe pressure will be achieved.
Another branch directly charging brake cylinders
(399) through limiting valve (35) and double check

Locomotive over speed brake system is provided in the locomotive to prevent the
loco over speed if exceeds above the preset limits (25 kmph.)
Proximity switch is provided on of the axle box, for sensing the speed of locomotive.
Locomotive speed is sensed by speed sensor units and relays (provided in electrical
system) by proximity switch.
When locomotive speed exceed above preset limits, emergency brake magnet valve
mounted in the PCC box, will get engaged through over speed relay and opens its
port. Air supply goes to brake cylinders (39) Through double check valves (32.4. &
34) & limiting valve to apply the brakes and locomotive comes halt, Engine comes to
idle and Trans power cuts off.
(For more detail refer Electrical System also).
8.0 Transmission Forward / Reverse control
(Refer electrical manual also.)
The locomotive is fitted with two electro pneumatic control boxes. The MR pressure
line is branched to these boxes through isolating cock (14) and connected inlet ports
of EPCB. Isolating cock (14) is provided for maintenance purpose. Two throttle

The transmission has got two converters one for each direction of travel. For Hydro-
dynamic braking through the transmission the Automatic transmission control of the
locomotive has got the controlling provision in such a way converter-1 which drives
the locomotive in one direction will be drained, simultaneously the conver-2 which
drives the locomotive in the opposition direction will be charged. This function is
actuated by the master controller which is pneumatically operated according to the
handle of throttle valve position operated by the driver, locomotive moving in one
direction bring to ‘O’ speed by the process of Hydro-dynamic reversing before
moving it to the opposite direction.
Important:
1. The momentum of the vehicle becomes zero when the vehicle ultimately stops
and the effect of Hydro-dynamic brake also fades away at very low speeds. Thus
Hydro-dynamic brake can only be a speed controlling method, but not the
ultimate stopping method.
2. The brake system has a provision, by which during an emergency, even the
Hydro-dynamic brake is “ON” moving the handle of A-9 automatic brake valve
into “Emergency” will trip the Hydro-dynamic brake and re-apply the pneumatic
brakes automatically.
9.0 Engine throttling control

8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
35/155
The locomotive is equipped with pneumatically operated engine throttling controlled
by a positioning cylinder (17.1 17.2) fitted on engine. The throttling air supplied from
outlet of VPPM mounted in EPCB, is connected to engine control device and
transmission’s brake limiting valve port. (For more detail refer Electrical System).
There is cushioning cylinder of 1Ltr capacity is provided in throttling circuit to avoid
the intermittent supply of air to position cylinder or to integrate the supply pressure
against short time variations due to operation of other pneumatic equipment such as
horn, wiper ect.,
Diesel engine governing is done in accordance with the air pressure received by
positioning cylinder. The same air pressure is supplied to brake limiting valve 21.1&
21.2) of the hydrodynamic transmission. This pressure operates a flow regulator
inside the brake limiter. This flow regulator sets to a balancing position against an
internal spring and converts bowl pressure. This bowl pressure is blocked during
normal traction application due to the operation of changeover valve. But during the
dynamic braking operation the change over valve returns to its neutral position by
which it allows bowl pressure to brake limiting valve. Now the balance achieved by
the bowl pressure and throttle air pressure from driver’s valve determine the flow
regulator position and thus govern the braking effort to the level of demand set by
drivers hand wheel.

4. TRANSMISSION:
4.1 General :
The SAN forward reverse turbo transmission HDR-IV is a fully automatic
hydrodynamic unit specially designed for the transmission of power from the
diesel engine to the driving axles of shunting locomotive. Its primary
components are two hydrodynamic torque converters working according to the
principle by which the transmission of power is effected by means of the inertia
forces of the operating medium (mineral oil)
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
49/155
Torque obtained in the turbine wheel is dependent upon the degree of
deflection of operating oil. The deflection and thus torque, is at its greatest with
the turbine wheel arrested; with increasing turbine speed, it decreases. As the
third primary component of a hydrodynamic torque converter, the guide wheel
has the task of maintaining constant the direction of flow to the pump impeller
independent of of outflow direction from the turbine wheel, so that the power
absorption of the pump impeller is not influenced by the prevailing turbinewheel speed. In this way, the guide wheel enables a multiplication of torque to
be effected, and takes up the reaction torque between pump impeller and
turbine wheel.
Due to their ability to multiply torque and to automatically adapt turbine speed,
i.e. rail speed, to prevailing load condition, torque converters are suitable both
for starting and for operation at medium and high speeds. The torque converter
is engaged by filling it with oil and disengaged by draining it. The hydraulic
circuits are filled by a mechanical gear pump driven from the primary side of the
transmission. The pump is known as the filling pump.
Each of the two torque converters is allocated a direction of travel. (As the
relationship between the rotational direction of output shaft and locomotive
direction of travel can differ, the terms “Rotor 1” and “Rotor 2” or “converter 1”
and “Converter 2” are employed in the explanation. Rotational direction “A”
refers to a situation where input and output shafts rotate in the same direction,
and rotational direction “B” where these two shafts rotate in opposite
directions). Locomotive takes off or a shifting from one converter to another by
respective filling and draining is effected smoothly. All gearwheels remain
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
50/155
soon as the opposite direction of travel has been selected on the master
controller, the reverse torque converter automatically retards the locomotive;
the degree of braking effort can be governed by the setting of the master
controller.
4.2 Dismounting and Mounting of Turbo transmission:
When the Turbo Transmission is to be dismounted from the locomotive, the
following sequence to be followed:
1. Drain oil from the transmission
2. Remove the transmission oil cooling hydraulic lines and air lines from
the transmission

and transmission input
4. Disconnect & remove the cardan shafts connecting the output of
transmission to middle final drive and rear final drive
5. Disconnect & remove the temperature and pressure sensor connections
6. Remove the roof hatch on the transmission
7. Position the electrical over head crane over the transmission
8. Connect the transmission lifting slings to at four lifting hooks provided on
the transmission
9. Connect all the sling heads to the crane hook and reposition the crane to
centralize to the transmission
10. Hoist the crane hook so as to take away the slack in the connecting
slings

9.1 GeneralThe cooling system of the locomotive is shown in appended drawing no.
4300741 0 the hot water from engine cylinder jackets is led to top tanks of
the two radiators, which is positioned in front of blower fan. The fan is driven
from engine vibration damper pulley, engine driven water pump that sucks
the cool water from bottom of radiator and supply to transmission oil cooler
& engine cylinder jackets. Thus the coolant temperature is maintained
within limit. For more details about the cooling system inside the engine,
refer Cummins operator’s manual.
It is required to fill the water into the radiators in an average rate of 10 litres
per minute. While filling the water, observe that water in the other radiator
rises after a while, as the engine block is totally filled. Water is to be filled till
the neck of the radiator-filling pipe and start the engine, allow running at idle
speed for 5min. Now check the water level in radiators, if required top up
the radiator.
9.2 Temperature of engine cooling water
The temperature of the radiator water, which is circulated while the engine
is running, is maintained within the range of 75°C to 95°C. For this purpose
the engine is equipped with thermostat, to maintain water temperature being
practically constant. If the water temperature is below the normal operating
condition, thermostats will by-pass the maximum amount of the water from
circulating into the radiators. When the temperature of cooling water rises to
75°C the thermostat will starts opening gradually and it will allow the cooling

level and switch off the engine. It cannot be possible to restart the engine
unless water is filled into the radiator up to the mark. So it is advised to
check the water level in radiators regularly before starting the engine.
9.3 Cooling fan
A blower fan is provided in front of engine. The fan is driven by the pulley
and set of belts from engine vibration damper. Cooling fan is of bladed type
and axially blower type, which sucks the air from inside the engine hood
through the hood doors and blows to the radiator’s core area.
9.4 Radiators
There is a single radiator unit, which consists of two radiators to cool the
water temperature inside the engine jackets. These radiator cores are made
of copper and have adequate cooling capacity. Care to be taken for this
core area to keep always clean. There shouldn’t be any sort of hindrance
for airflow.
9.5 Transmission oil temperature
The piping diagram of the transmission oil cooling system is as shown
appended drawing no. 42061880. Hot oil from the transmission is pumped
to oil cooler mounted on engine, and after circulating in cooler; it is fed back
to the transmission. The temperature of transmission oil should be within
the max. temperature of 110°C The cooling system is designed to keep the
temperature of transmission oil within the above range in normal operation.
Sometimes if the locomotive is driven for long periods below continuous
operation speed, the oil may be overheated due to the high heat rejection

1.0 Description of pneumatic system
Pneumatic system of the locomotive is with compressed air type and used for
locomotive Brakes, Controls, Trailing load.
One belt driven compressor connected through a counter shaft assembly & one
engine mounted Compressor together provides adequate capacity is used for
main air source. System pressure is normally set to 7.0 kg/cm2.
2.0 Compressed air charging and compressor governing
Compressed air from the compressors charges through the respective Hose (3
to respond at 7.5 kg/cm². One pressure gauge (15.1) is provided in this line to
indicate the pressure built up in the air reservoirs. The pressure switches (13)

when it cuts out activate an inbuilt electrical contact. This electrical contact iswired to energize the normally closed magnet valve (7.1), working on 24 V DC,
to connect main reservoir pressure at its inlet to its delivery to actuate
Automatic drain valves (11.1, 11.2 & 11.3) at all three reservoirs. These auto
drain valves purge any condensation from air reservoirs. A branch off from this
line is taken to actuate the unloaded valve (inbuilt in the compressor) which
inhibits further build up of air pressure by compressor till such time the system
pressure drops to 6 kg/cm².
3.0 Brake pipe charging
The main reservoir air from air reservoir (10.3) charges into inlet port 30 of A-9
Automatic brake valves (50.1 & 50.2), mounted in the driver’s desk. The A-9
brake valve has an adjusting wheel, which is used to set the pressure of air
delivered at its port no.5 which is to be 5kg/cm² at all the times. This pressure
of 5kg/cm² at delivery port no.5 of A-9 brake valve is reference pressure to
which brake pipe is to be charged.
The delivery port no.5 of A-9 valve is connected to the inlet port no.3 of 3/2-
way valve (28.3), which is normally connected to outlet port no.2. From outlet
port 2 of 3/2-way valve (28.3) is connected to pilot port of C2 relay valve (53).
In this condition Main reservoir line is connected at port 1of C2 relay valve (53)
passes through outlet port 3 of relay valve and charges the locomotive brake
pipe connected to Brake-pressure line (59). Two Duplex pressure gauge (48.1,
Two 3/4” cut-off cocks (54.1) are placed in BP charging & sensing lines,
close to BP train pipe. These cut-off cocks to be closed while loco

connected with other trailing stock during transit.
4.0 Automatic braking and Co - ordinate air brakes on Trailing
stock
The compressed air charged into the brake pipe, passes through cut off cock(54.2) and hose coupling (58) kept open on the train side of the locomotive into
the brake pipe of the trailing stock, where it charges into the Distributor valves
provided in each wagon. The cut off angle cock in the farthest end of the train
needs to be closed. When the brake pipe in the complete train is charged to
5kg/cm² the control valves in the trailing stock move to connect the brake
cylinder in respective trailing stock to atmosphere at the Distributor valve
exhaust and keeps the train brakes released.
4.6 Automatic braking application - service
Whenever it is required to apply the locomotive
brakes as well as the trailing load brakes, thehandle of A-9 automatic brake valve, is moved
into the service brake application zone, permitting
brake pipe air pressure to drop at a service rate
at the exhaust port of the brake valve under
operation. Decreasing the reference delivery
pressure from the A-9 brake valve causes the
reduction in pilot air pressure at C2 relay valve
(53) through 3/2 way valve (28.3), then C2 relay valve (53) also to respond
responds to the loss of pressure at its brake pipe (internal to C3W) port (BP) in
comparison to the level of its reference air pressure in its control reservoir and
-
8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T
85/155
sends signal air pressure through its BC port-to-port no.2 at C2 relay valve (45)via a double check valve (43.5). The max. signal pressure that can be fed to
the C2 relay valve (45) is controlled by the Distributor valve (52), which is set to
3.8kg/cm², at Brake pipe pressure of 0 kg/cm²). In this condition while the C2
relay valve (45) receiving the pilot pressure from C3W distributor valve’s (52)
BC port, opens the MR supply at its port 1 to delivery port 3 and then the brake
cylinders. This pressurized air received by brake cylinders of the locomotive
applies brakes to the wheels. Two nos. of Duplex pressure gauge (48.1 & 48.2)
provided on the instrument panel to indicate the pressure at brake cylinders, of
both bogies. The ½” isolating cocks (8.2 & 8.3) are provided between brake
cylinders and C2 relay valve, which should be closed at the time of cylinder’s
overhauling.
For air braked trailing stock, reduction of pressure in the brake pipe as caused
by the A-9 brake valve will propagate throughout the length of the brake pipe in
the trailing stock. Then the individual Distributor valves connected to the brake
pipe in each trailing stock will respond to the brake pipe pressure depletion in
that region and move to application position. Thus, the air brakes are held
applied by the Distributor valves, which ultimately reach a lap position for any
stabilized pressure in the brake pipe, after the reductions.
4.7 Stabilization after application
After the desired brake pipe pressure reduction has been achieved, the A-9
brake valve will lap itself at a pressure level as governed by the position of its
handle. The stabilization of brake pipe pressure after the desired reduction
4.8 Graduated application

Further steps in brake application with increased intensity are realized bymoving the brake valve handle further into the application zone, which causes
greater reductions in the brake pipe pressure. The intensity of the brake
cylinder pressure delivered by the C3W Distributor valves both in locomotive
and trailing stock also increases proportionately to the degree of handle
movement of the A-9 valve in the application zone.
Following are the approximate values of the brake pipe output pressures at
various positions of the handle of the A-9 Automatic brake valve and the
corresponding brake cylinder pressures.

Over reduction 1.8 to 2.6 3.8
Emergency 0 3.8
4.9 Release and recharge
When the A-9 automatic brake valve handle is moved to 'Release' position to
release the brakes, the main reservoir pressure at its port no.30 is connected to
atmosphere, in proportion to the rise in pressure of the brake pipe. Due to this
the C3W distributor valve (52) withdraws the brake cylinder signal pressure

(BC) and vents it at its exhaust port. Due to depletion of air at signal port no.2of C2 relay valve (45), the brake cylinder pressure is exhausted at the exhaust
ports of the relay valve (45). Thus the brakes are fully released.
4.10 Emergency braking
When it is required to make the shortest possible stop, the A-9 automatic brake
valve handle is moved to emergency position, which opens the air brake pipe
connected at port no.1 directly to atmosphere at the vent valve of the A-9 brake
valve, in addition to the normal exhaust of air pressure
