INTRODUCTION
PROFILE OF INDIAN RAILWAYS :-
Railways are the ARTERIES OF NATION . Government of India has
committed for the provision of transportation of men and material in the
country .It is one of the oldest industries introduced by British having done an
historical.
Opening of track between Bombay and Thane in the year 1848 . There
are number of companies which organize this railway system in India.
Consequent upon the independence all these railway systems are congregated
and brought under one banner know as “The Indian railways”, with a sperate
ministry in government of India.
Diesel Engine
This is the main power source for the locomotive. It comprises a large cylinder
block, with the cylinders arranged in a straight line or in a V. The engine rotates
the drive shaft at up to 1,000 rpm and this drives the various items needed to
power the locomotive. As the transmission is normally electric, the engine is
used as the power source for the alternator that produces the electrical energy
to drive the locomotive.
Main Alternator
The diesel engine drives the main alternator which provides the power to
move the train. The alternator generates AC electricity which is used to
provide power for the traction motors mounted on the trucks (bogies). In
older locomotives, the alternator was a DC machine, called a generator. It
produced direct current which was used to provide power for DC traction
motors. Many of these machines are still in regular use. The next
development was the replacement of the generator by the alternator but still
using DC traction motors. The AC output is rectified to give the DC required for
the motor.
Auxiliary Alternator
Motor Blower
The diesel engine also drives a motor blower. As its name suggests, the motor
blower provides air which is blown over the traction motors to keep them cool
during periods of heavy work. The blower is mounted inside the locomotive
body but the motors are on the trucks, so the blower output is connected to
each of the motors through flexible ducting. The blower output also cools the
alternators. Some designs have separate blowers for the group of motors on
each truck and others for the alternators. Whatever the arrangement, a
modern locomotive has a complex air management system which monitors the
temperature of the various rotating machines in the locomotive and adjusts
the flow of air accordingly.
Traction Motor
Pinion/Gear
The traction motor drives the axle through a reduction gear of a range
between 3 to 1 (freight) and 4 to 1 (passenger).
Fuel Tank
A diesel locomotive has to carry its own fuel around with it and there has to be
enough for a reasonable length of trip. The fuel tank is normally under the
loco frame and will have a capacity of say 1,000 imperial gallons (UK Class 59,
3,000 hp) or 5,000 US gallons in a General Electric AC4400CW 4,400 hp
locomotive. The new AC6000s have 5,500 gallon tanks. In addition to fuel, the
locomotive will carry around, typically about 300 US gallons of cooling water
and 250 gallons of lubricating oil for the diesel engine.
Sand Box
Locomotives always carry sand to assist adhesion in bad rail conditions. Sand
is not often provided on multiple unit trains because the adhesion
requirements are lower and there are normally more driven axles.
Turbo Charging
The locos are now widely used across India for long distance passenger
trains due to its ruggedness and high tractive loads and acceleration

WATER PUMP
DESCRIPTION:-
The centrifugal water pump is mounted on the free end of the engine as is
driven by the crankshaft extension shaft gear.The pump frame is connected to
the engine through a flanged connection and suction and discharge piping are
connected directly to suction and discharge flanges of the pump
In order to eliminate packing and its inherent maintenance problem,a
mechanical seal has been installed in the pump.The pump is lubricated by oil
thrown off the lube oil pump gear into the pump-bearing frame.
In order to remove any possibility of the circulating water containing
the lubricating oil because of water seal failure,a slinger and oil seal used
.Should either water or oil by-pass the respective seals,the slinger immediately
passes the fluid out of the tell-tale hole opening in the bottom of the slinger
cavity.Do not plug the tell-tale hole
REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1. Remove inlet and discharge piping
2. Apply chain hoist to eye bolt
3. Remove cap screws on frame of pump and pull pump assembly
directly forward.The spacer ,which is doweled to engine to maintain
correct gear backlashremains on engine
DESCRIPTION:-
All locomotives are provided with a radiator assembly designed to
reduce the temperature of the engine cooling water system.On some
locomotive the engine lubricating oil is cooled in a section of the radiator
Radiator assembles are made up of one or more panels which in turn are
made up of one or more cores.The radiator core is the basic unit of the
assembly and is bolted to cast iron or fabricated steel tank using a gasket seal
Cores are constructed of thin walled tubes which are passed through
cooling fins and attached to tube sheets or header at each end two specific
types of construction are used by radiator manufactures, the soldered core
construction or the braze ward core construction
Maintenance of each core construction differs from each other and care
should be taken to determine the construction of the core being repaired
Brazed construction core have 0.018 inch wall seamless copper tubes
fitted through copper cooling fins and brazed to a copper alloy
header.Soldered construction cores are made up of 0.012 inch wall lock seam
soldered copper tubing fitted through copper cooling fins and soldered to a
copper alloy header
Identification of the construction may be determined by scraping the
braze or solder at the joint between the tube and header with the pocket knife
CLEANING AND TESTING
GENERAL
For the most of the parts of the equipment needed to repair and maintain
radiator will normally be available at back shops and round houses.In case all
of the equipment is not readily available the following list will serve as a guide
from the minimum requirements
1. A tank large enough to submerge radiator core provide with steam coils
a gas burner
2. Gas welding torch and source of burning
3. Chemicals for cleaning
4. Brazing and soldering supplies such to be repaired this tank should be or
some method of heating acetylene and city gas and decreasing brazing
wire solder and fluxes
5. A source of 60 psi air for testing
6. Wire brush and rods for cleaning and routing
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. In cases where the tubes of either type construction are too badly
damaged for repair or where the lead is located in the centre of the
core,it is best to close off these tubes to water, this may be
accomplished by inserting brass or steel plugs in to the ends of the
tube and brazing or soldering them in place
2. An alternate method of closing of damaged tubes is to crimp section
closed at header and seal them by brazing or soldering the ends
3. Not more than 20 tubes section on panel type radiators or 5 tubes
per section on sectional type radiators should be closed off
4. If the fin edges are bent , they should be straightened as evenly as
possible to allow full air flow
5. Paint can be done with any standard paintshowever it should be
cautioned that the core composed of fin tubes is primarily a heat
transfer surface and the paint film should be kept to be minimum
thickness in order note to reduce the cooling any more than
necessary

3. Recollect all piping
LUBRICATING OIL COOLER
DESCRIPTION
The lubricating oil cooler is a heat exchanger of the vertical shell and tube type
consisting of bundle of tubes rolled into tube sheets and closed in a shell.Both
tube sheets are fixed cooling water from the radiator flows into the top end
cover to the unit down through the tubes and out at the bottom end cover the
lubricating oil enters the cooler at the top of the shell during this process heat
is removed from the oiler due to its contact with the tubes through which the
cooling water is flowing baffles are provided inside the shell to channel the oil
flow in the most efficient manner
