    The characteristics of this locomotive are illustrated in the appended performancecurve Graph no. 70668

    In the “SPEED- TRACTIVE EFFORT CURVE”, Graph no.70668, “SPEED” means

    the locomotive speed in km/h; “TRACTIVE EFFORT” means the power on the treads

    of the driving wheels in kN. when the engine output is maximum and the efficiency of

    mechanical transmission is approximated to be 97%.

    The hauling capacity of the locomotive varies according to the condition of the track

    on which it is running and of the wagons. The hauling capacity is calculated on the

    assumption that the starting and running resistance of the locomotive and wagons

    are in accordance with the following formulae (Davis Formulae) and value.

    Starting resistance

    For locomotive : 12kg/ton

    For wagon : 5.5kg/ton

    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

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    32/155

      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

    control valve & transmission on-off push button on drivers control desk are provided

    for controlling the forward / reverse direction of transmission & engine throttle.

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    33/155

     Forward/reverse Magnet valve and throttle control is provided to interlock thetransmission to prevent the locomotive movement, when there is low brake pressurein the reservoir as it is connected with brake air pressure switch of digital input

    module and power cut off air pressure switch of digital input module.

    Low brake pressure is indicated through a digital input module on the humanmachine interface. (HMI – display unit) to caution the driver and also automaticallycontrolled with appropriate interlocks before moving of the locomotive.

    The power control switch (PCS) set at 0.3 kg/cm2, is provided in the EPCB.

    Whenever brakes are applied and the brake cylinder pressure exceeds 0.3kg/cm,²

    the PCS will deactivate the throttle control valve through PLC system and bring the

    engine to idle and power transmission isolated.

    Transmission “ON” indications is displayed on the driver’s control station, to indicate

    the driver, loco is ready for movement.

    Forward / reverse indications are displayed on the PLC system display unit toindicate the travel direction of the locomotive through the signal received fromthrottle handle movement of forward /reverse direction.

    Air inlet to the transmission, engine throttle and direction of change is controlled by

    throttle control valve through PLC system. To engage the transmission in forward /

    reverse direction, move the throttle control valve’s handle to forward / reverse

    direction. This will energize the forward / reverse magnetic valve though PLC

    system, to open magnet valves outlet port. Outlet port of forward magnet valve is

    connected to port no.4 of change over valve of transmission. This line interconnected

    to port no.1 of main control valve on transmission. Outlet port of reverse magnet

    valve is connected to port no.2 of main control valve, & this line interconnected to

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    34/155

     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.

     The sand ejectors are actuated by electrical push button valve which are mounted

    on both side of drivers control station. When these valves operated will opens the

    pneumatic port at its inlet supply MR to sand ejectors and air comes to the sand

    ejectors, which pushes the sand from ejector to the pipe line which leads to the front

    of the wheel base and rail.

    12.0 Pneumatic horn

    Double pneumatic horns (23) are used in the locomotive, which actuated by a set of lever

    operated horn valves (22.1 & 22.2), mounted one each on valve mounting plate. The

    connection to the horns is made in such a way that it will operate the horns simultaneously.

    13.0 Multiple Control . ( Refer electrical manual also).

    Following steps are to be followed to use locomotive in tandem operation:

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    38/155

     4) Ensure that the brake valves (SA-9, A-9) are in release position in both

    locomotives.

    5) Ensure that the cut off cocks on MR lines, connecting to brake valves (SA-9, A-9& emergency) should be open in leading locomotive and closed in trailinglocomotive.

    6) Ensure that cut off cock between BP line & BP charging C2W relay valve and cutoff cock between distributor valve & A-9 brake valve equalizing line should be inopen in leading locomotive and closed in trailing locomotive.

    7) While multiple operations it is suggested to use A-9 Brake Valve only in leadinglocomotive for barking the both locomotives and trailing load.

    With the above mentioned precautions the tandem unit comprising of the twolocomotives can be operated from the cab of the leading locomotive.

    3. Power Pack system

    3.1 General

    The power generated in the diesel engine is transmitted to transmission

    through Flexible coupling & cardan shaft, from transmission to the final drives

    through cardan shaft. Final drives which are mounted directly on axle, will drive

    the bevel gear mounted on axle which in turn drives the wheel fitted on axle

    end.

    Accessories like Engine cooling fan, alternator, engine mounted compressor,

    lubricating pump, water pump & fuel pump will take the drive directly from

    engine through belt drive or gear drive.

    For stand by compressor (TRC 2507) drive taken from the pulley mounted on

    counter shaft, which is driven from the pulley mounted on engine vibration

    damper.

    In this chapter only details of cardan shaft and flexible couplings are provided,

    for Transmission refer chapter 4 & for Final drive refer chapter 5.

    3.2 Flexible coupling

    This is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling, which compensates Axial, Angular

    and radial displacement of connected machines. Flexible coupling is provided

    to absorb shocks on torque, by which it will minimize vibration, and transmits

    the power.

    3.2.1 Maintenance of Flexible coupling  

    Assembly of coupling:

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    42/155

     

    Then the driven sided engine with cardan shaft has to be pushed to the

    connecting flange (3), to the inner ring of the element (5) of the coupling.

    After having connected the cardan shaft with the connecting flange (3)

    respectively with the element (5), the assembly is finished. With respect to the

    coupling, the driving side is ready for operation.

    The prescribed tightening torque for the chosen screw quality is to be kept.

    An alignment of the prescribed coupling is not required, as it is a cardan shaft-connecting coupling. Here the alignment is made via the cardan shaft. In order

    to reach a long lifetime of the system, it is recommended however, to follow the

    values given below.

    3.3 Cardan shaft

    The cardan shaft transmits the power generated by engine to the Transmission.

    It has two pairs of universal joints, one set of spline. Because of the universal

     joints and the spline, if there is any small amount of misalignment between the

    engine and the Transmission can be permitted.

    3.3.1 Maintenance of Cardan shaft

    Maintenance should be carried out at regular intervals. The actual frequency

    will depend on working conditions and practical experience. However points forregular maintenance have been enumerated below,

    1. Check cap screws and mating flanges for tightness and correct seating.

    Tighten if necessary to the required torque levels given below with Loctite

    grade 270 or Anabond 112.

    1. Should any unusual noise be emitted during operation the cause (eg.,

    bad fitting or loose flange connections) must be detected and eliminated.

    a. Lubrication

    The cross and bearing assembly and the slip joint of the cardan shaft are to be

    lubricated with lithium based multipurpose grease NLGI class 2.

    The intervals for lubrication are as shown in below

      Initial greasing will follow the installation.

      Re-greasing is after 250 hours or 3Months whichever is earlier.

    Note : Grease is to be pumped through the nipples of both universal joints &

    spline yoke, until grease emerges from all sealing lips. Only then it can be

    guaranteed that the grease supply has been adequately replenished, and all

    traces of dirt expelled.

    Prior to long periods out of service all bearings must be re-greased.

    b. Inspection

    1. Universal joints:

    Check the bearing surfaces on journal crosses for running marks and scoring. If

    running marks or scoring is in evidence replace the journal cross assemblies.

    2. Slip joints:

    Check for ease of movement. In the event of damaged spline profiles or

    excessive play, the shaft or sleeve has to replaced.

    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

    3. Disconnect & remove the cardan shaft connecting the diesel engine

    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

     

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    51/155

    13. Lift the transmission very slowly, while observing that the transmission

    does not hit or rub against any other parts / locomotive structure. Care

    should be taken on lifting not to damage the parts

    14. Rise the transmission well clear of the locomotive and lower vertically on

    a stable platform with requisite supports

    15. Store all the fastener and parts with proper identification for reuse.

    4.3 Mounting the Turbo transmission:

    When the Turbo transmission to be mounted on the locomotive, reverse the

    procedure described above, except that care should be taken on the following

    points

    1. Clean the removed hoses, piping, electrical wires, etc, which are

    connected to the transmission, until they are completely free from dust

    and dirt, and then connect them again. Used packing for the connection

    must be replaced with new ones.

    2. All the fasteners are tightened with prescribed torque.

    3. The removed turbo transmission must not be started until the hoses,

    pipes and wires etc, have been checked for correctness and turbo

    transmission oil has been filled

    9.0 Cooling system

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    68/155

    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

     

    To avoid the radiators to run short of sufficient amount of water, there is low

    ater le el s itch hich is fitted on top tank of radiator It senses the lo

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    water level switch, which is fitted on top tank of radiator. It senses the low

    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)

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    83/155

    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

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    84/155

    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

  • 8/16/2019 Operation Manual for San 1400 TPP HDR IV CC BG 135T

    86/155

    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.

    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
