SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGAIONS OF DIESEL-POWERED TRACK VEHICLES

The diesel-powered vehicles of the German Federal Railroads are investigated by a specialized testing institute, the Research Center for Internal Combustion Engineering, under similarized service conditions on the route by means of test cars for their performances and the proper operation of their mechanical equipment, and the grade of their energy transforming efficiency is determined. The modern electronic testing methods are described and several test results are presented. An efficiency field diagram of a 1100 HP diesel locomotive, a temperature and pressure diagram recorded from a 3000 HP diesel, and a torsional vibration oscillogram recorded from the articulated shaft of a diesel, are shown.
