AFTER COOLER
It is a simple radiator, which cools the air to increase its
density. Scales formation on the tubes, both internally
and externally, or choking of the tubes can reduce heat
transfer capacity. This can also reduce the flow of air
through it. This reduces the efficiency of the diesel
engine. This is evident from black exhaust smoke
emissions and a fall in booster pressure.

3. BOGIE
INTRODUCTION
CLASSIFICATION OF BOGIE
Bogie is classified into the various types described
below according to their configuration in terms of the
number of axle, and the design and structure of the
suspension. According to UIC classification two types of
bogie in Indian Railway are:-
Bo-Bo
Co-Co
Main alternator
The diesel engine drives the main alternator which
provides the power to move the train. The alternator
generator AC electricity which is used to provide for
traction motors mounts of the axles of the bogies.
In older locomotives, the alternator was a DC machine,
called a generator. It produce direct current which was
used to provide power for DC traction motor. 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 motor. The AC
output is rectified to give the DC required for the motors.
Auxiliary Alternators
Locomotives used are equipped with an auxiliary
alternators. This provide AC power for lighting, air
conditioning, etc. on the train. The output is transmitted
on the train through an auxiliary power line. The output
from the main alternator is AC but it can be used in
locomotive with either DC or AC traction motors. DC
motors where the traditional type use for many years
but, AC motors have become standard new locomotives.
They are cheaper to build and cost less to maintain and
to convert the AC output from the main alternator to DC,
rectifiers are required. If the motors are DC, the output
from the rectifiers is used directly. If the motors are AC
the DC output from the rectifier is converted to 3-phase
AC for the traction motors.
35
Traction motors.
Since the diesel-electric locomotive uses electric
transmission, traction motors are provided on the axles
to give the final drive. These motors where the
traditionally DC but the development of modern power
and control electronics has led to the introduction of 3-
phase AC motors. There are between four & six motors
on most diesel electric locomotives. A modern AC
motors with air blowing can provide up to 1000h

INTRODUCTION
WORKING OF EXHAUSTER
Air from vacuum train pipe is drawn into the exhauster
cylinders through the open inlet valves in the cylinder
heads during its suction stroke. Each of the exhauster
cylinders has one or two inlet valves and two discharge
valves in the cylinder head. A study of the inlet and
discharge valves as given in a separate diagram would
indicate that individual components like (1) plate valve
outer (2) plate valve inner (3) spring outer (4) spring
inner etc. are all interchangeable parts. Only basic
difference is that they are arranged in the reverse
manner in the valve assemblies which may also have
different size and shape. The retainer stud in both the
assemblies must project upward to avoid hitting the
piston.
38
Compressor
The compressor is a two stage compressor with one
low pressure cylinder and one high pressure cylinder.
During the first stage of compression it is done in
the low pressure cylinder where suction is through a
wire mesh filter. After compression in the LP cylinder
air is delivered into the discharge manifold at a pressure
of 30 / 35 PSI. Workings of the inlet and exhaust valves
are similar to that of exhauster which automatically open
or close under differential air pressure. For inter-cooling
air is then passed through a radiator known as inter-
cooler. This is an air to air cooler where compressed air
passes through the element tubes and cool
atmospheric air is blown on the out side fins by a fan
fitted on the expressor crank shaft. Cooling of air at this
stage increases the volumetric efficiency of air before it
enters the high- pressure cylinder. A safety valve known
as inter cooler safety valve set at 60 PSI is provided

6. AIR BRAKES
INTRODUCTION
An air brake is a conveyance braking system
actuated by compressed air. Modern trains rely upon a
fail preventive air brake system that is based upon a
design patented by George Westinghouse on March
5,1872. In the air brake's simplest form, called the

7. SPEEDOMETER
INTRODUCTION
The electronic speedometer is intended to measure
traveling speed and to record the status of selected
locomotive engine parameters every second. It
comprises a central processing unit that performs the
basic functions, two monitors that are used for
displaying the measured speed values and entering
locomotive driver‘s identification data and drive
parameters and a speed transducer. The speedometer
can be fitted into any of railway traction vehicles. The
monitor is mounted on every driver‘s place in a
locomotive. It is connected to the CPU by a serial link.
Monitor transmits a driver, locomotive and train
identifications data to the CPU and receives data on
travel speed, partial distance traveled, real time and
speedometer status from the CPU A locomotive driver
communicates with the speedometer using the monitor:
a keyboard and alphanumeric displays are used for
authorization purposes, travel speed values are
monitored on analog and digital displays, whereas
alphanumeric displays, LEDs and a buzzer signal
provide information on speedometer and vehicle status.
44
WORKING MECHANISM
Speedometer is a closed loop system in which opto-
electronic pulse generator is used to convert the speed
of locomotive wheel into the corresponding pulses.
Pulses thus generated are then converted into the
corresponding steps for stepper motor. These steps
then decide the movement of stepper motor which
rotates the pointer up to the desired position. A feed
back potentiometer is also used with pointer that
provides a signal corresponding to actual position of the
pointer, which then compared with the step of stepper
motor by measuring and control section. If any error is
observed, it corrected by moving the pointer to
corresponding position.
Presently a new version of speed-time-distance recorder
cum indicator unit TELPRO is used in the most of the
locomotive. Features and other technical specification of
this speedometer are given below.

INTRODUCTION
The cylinder head is held on to the cylinder liner by
seven hold down studs or bolts provided on the cylinder
block. It is subjected to high shock stress and
combustion temperature at the lower face, which forms
a part of combustion chamber. It is a complicated
casting where cooling passages are cored for holding
water for cooling the cylinder head. In addition to this
provision is made for providing passage of inlet air and
exhaust gas. Further, space has been provided for
holding fuel injection nozzles, valve guides and valve
seat inserts also.
Lap the face joint to ensure leak proof joint with liner.
Blow by test:
On bench blow by test is conducted to ensure the
sealing effect of cylinder head.
Blow by test is also conducted to check the sealing
efficiency of the combustion chamber on a running
engine, as per the following procedure:

9.DYNAMO
INTRODUCTION
Various type of wear may occur on wheal tread and
flange due to wheel skidding and emergency breaking.
Four type of wear may occur as follows:-
56
Tread wear
Root wear
Skid wear and
Flange wear
For maintaining the required profile pit wheel lathe are
used. This lathe is installed in the pit so that wheel
turning is without disassembling the axle and lifting the
loco and hence the name ―pit wheel lathe‖
Wheel turning
Wheel turning on this lathe is done by rotating the
wheels, both wheels of an axle are placed on the four
rollers, two for each wheel. Rollers rotate the wheel and
a fixed turning tool is used for turning the wheel.
Different gages are used in this section tocheck the
tread profile. Name of these gages are:-
Star gage
Root wear gage
Flange wear gage
J gage
j-gage is used to calculate the app. Dia of wheel.
Dia. Of wheel = 962 +2×(j-gage reading) mm
INTRODUCTION
A part or assembly is said to have failed under one
of the three conditions:-
When it becomes completely inoperable-occurs when
the component breaks into two or more pieces.When it
is still inoperable but is no longer able to perform its
intended function satisfactorily- due to wearing and
minor damages.
When serious deterioration has made it unreliable or
unsafe for continuous use, thus necessitating its
complete removal from service for repair or
replacement-due to presence of cracks such as thermal
cracks, fatigue crack, hydrogen flaking.
In this section we will study about:-
Metallurgical lab.
Ultrasonic test
Zyglo test and

ULTRASONIC TESTING
In ultrasonic testing, very short ultrasonic pulse-waves
with center frequencies ranging from 0.1-15 MHz and
occasionally up to 50 MHz are launched into materials to
detect internal flaws or to characterize materials.
Ultrasonic testing is often performed on steel and other
metals and alloys, though it can also be used on
concrete, wood and composites, albeit with less
resolution. It is a form of non-destructive testing.
ZYGLO TEST
The zyglo test is a nondestructive testing (NTD) method
that helps to locate and idetify surface defects in order to
screen out potential failure-producing defects. It is quick
and accqurate process for locating surface flaws such
as shrinkage cracks, porosity, cold shuts, fatigue cracks,
grinding cracks etc. The ZYGLO test works effectively in
a variety of porous and non-porous materials:
aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper, titanium, bronze,
stainless steel, sintered carbide, non-magnetic alloys,
ceramics, plastic and glass. Various steps of this test
are given below:-
Step 1 – pre-clean parts.
Step 2 – apply penetrant
62
Principles
DPI is based upon capillary action, where low surface
tension fluid penetrates into clean and dry surface-
breaking discontinuities. Penetrant may be applied to
the test component by dipping, spraying, or brushing.
After adequate penetration time has been allowed, the
excess penetrant is removed, a developer is applied.
The developer helps to draw penetrant out of the flaw
where a visible indication becomes visible to the
inspector.

1.Metallurgical lab
In this section the properties of the lube oil & fuel oil are
tested and if they are up to the mark then they are only
used.
When the loco comes for a schedule, the lube oil of the
loco checked thoroughly. When the metals slides over
each other
Sometimes they cause wear, but there is continuous
flow of lube oil between them which takes those
particles with them. This increases the quality of
different metals in them. So, in this lab the different
percentage of elements are taken out by electronics
method.
In this test, a very thin film is created between two
graphite electrodes having high potential difference
between them. This causes a spark between them
which carries a high temperature (25000 C). this
process is done in UV-Rays. So the valence electrons of
different element in outer shell get excited and jump to
the excited level. They remain there for 10-2 sec. when
they come down to normal state they release energy in
the form of light rays. Different elements release
different intensity waves which are focused on a

Different tests are conducted on the oil and their properties are
tested out. If the readings are different then the action is taken
by the administration.
1. Machine shop
In this section machining of different parts is done. The
machine shop has different lathe, grinding machine,
power hacksaw, drill machine & shaper machine. But
the machining of very few components like expresser
shaft, generator armature is done and most of the parts
are replaced because there is no comprise for the
efficiency.
2. C.T.A Cell
The information for any movement is necessary to be
given to the head office. So there should be a body
which can form a like between administration and the
shed. This is done by C.T.A cell.
The few main works are as:-
