INDIAN RAILWAY
Railways were first introduced to India in the year 1853 from MUMBAI
to THANE.
ACTIVITIES
TARGET
14 per month
60 coaches
TOTAL CAPACITY
4. IOH 9 months
5. POH 18 months
Periodic overhauling is the best available process of maintenance of coaches in India. This generally
operated after 18 months after the manufacturing or the previous periodic overhauling done in any
workshop. This undergoes a huge process of lifting the coach, isolating the all parts, and changing or
replacing the necessary or damaged parts. In other words this is the process of renewing the coaches.
WHEEL PROFILE
DEFECTS
Thin Flange :- When the flange thickness reduces from 28.5 mm to
16 mm or less, then the flange is called thin flange.
Sharp Flange :- When the radius given at the tip of flange is worn out
from 14.5mm to 5 mm or less is called Sharp Flange.
Thin Tyre :- If the remaining thickness of tyre is less than 25 mm, it is
called thin tyre.
COACH
AXLE
It is the main long cylindrical bar on which bogie are fixed with the help of bearings. This is made of
steel as above. Each axle contains 2 wheels, the brake cylinders are also attached to it and in case of
LHB coaches, the braking discs are fixed on to the axle.
The axle mounted brake disc consists of a gray cast iron friction ring and a
cast steel hub, connected by means of radially arranged elastic resilient
sleeves which are secured in the hub by means of hexagon screws. The
friction ring is manufactured as a solid component or in a split version. In the
latter case, the two halves are held together by two tight fit screws.
The brake system in which compressed air is used in the brake cylinder for the application
of brakes is called air brake system.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
a) Charging
b) Application
c) Release
Under normal conditions the Brake pipe is charged with 5kg/cm2 from the loco. The control
reservoir and the Auxiliary reservoir are charged with 5 kg/cm2 and 6 kg/cm2 respectively
from BP through Distributor valve.
When the brake pipe is charged at 5 kg/cm2 the brake cylinder is connected to exhaust
through distributor valve in order to keep the brake in released position fully.
Whenever the brake pipe pressure is reduced below the CR pressure, the DV connects the
auxiliary reservoir with the brake cylinder and the air from AR is sent into the brake cylinder to
apply the brake.
Whenever the brake pipe pressure is equal to CR pressure the DV disconnects the BC from AR
and in turn connects the BC with Exhaust for the release of brakes fully.
BOGIE FRAME
The frame is made up of two longitudinal components
(1) connected by two cross-beams
(2) which also support the brake units.
The various supports which connect the
different bogie components are welded to the frame.
WINDOW UNITS
The sealed window units consist of 8.4 mm outer glass and 4 mm inner glass with 6 mm
Argon gas filled.
Argon is an inexpensive, non-toxic, odorless gas .
It increase sound proofing characteristics of the
window.
Minimizes heat exchange through the window.
Argon will not corrode the window material.
This type of windows can even block ultraviolet rays.
