Ratings of diesel-electric locomotives

Electrical Engineering, 1949
THE DIESEL-POWERED locomotive has emerged as one of the most efficient and economical forms of motive power available to industrial and railway users, ranging in size from 100 to 8,000 horsepower. This versatility is due largely to the electric transmission system by means of which the relatively constant torque of the engine is transformed to the ...

Maintenance of Diesel-electric locomotives

Proceedings of the IEE - Part IA: Electric Railway Traction, 1950
The question of maintenance is approached from the point of view trying to determine what are the basic principles which should govern the methods and standards of maintenance. It is evident that if sufficient care has been given to the design, then only those parts of the equipment which are subjected to fairly heavy stresses should require ...

Diesel Engines for Locomotives

Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1928
Abstract Objections to the steam locomotive are made on grounds of inefficiency, the author stating that 92 to 98 per cent of the heat in the coal is being wasted, while a Diesel locomotive has an efficiency of about 33 per cent. The Diesel locomotive, however, cannot be started under full load, cannot carry any overload without ...

Assessment of the effect of the diesel locomotive idlng on the wear of diesel parts

Herald of the Ural State University of Railway Transport, 2022
The idle time of shunting locomotives in standby mode is up to 50% of the working shift time. When the locomotive is idling in the cold season, it is necessary to maintain the diesel engine in the «hot» state, i.e. the diesel engine is idling, at different positions of the driver’s controller.
