COMPREHENSIVE IMPROVEMENT OF THE LOCOMOTIVE COOLING CHAMBER
The paper presents the elements efficient analysis of a locomotive cooling chamber in the order of air supply. The level of their independent and joint influence on the energy consumption of the diesel locomotive cooling system is estimated. A review of options for eliminating the identified shortcomings was conducted. Methods for improving standard designs and some developed alternative designs of the main elements of the locomotive's cooling chamber are proposed, and they are compared according to calculations and experiments.
