UZTE16M LOCOMOTIVE OIL SYSTEM AND REQUIREMENTS FOR DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE RELIABILITY AND OPERATING CONDITIONS

Abstract

The crankshaft group (crankshaft, main and connecting rod bearings) is one of the most critical units of a diesel locomotive, which largely determines its service life, as well as reliability, timing, volume and cost of maintenance of the locomotive. During operation, diesel locomotives are subjected to traction-operational tests to identify the values of the main parameters and determine the optimum loading modes on different road sections. During the tests, a number of mechanical, electrical and other values are determined to judge the parameters of the locomotive, its assemblies and units, their operability and performance. It is important to determine the nature of changes in parameters and their scatter, as well as the error of measurements.
