Abstract:
A cooling apparatus ( ) and method for a turbocharged internal combustion engine ( ). The combustion air ( ) exiting a turbocharger ( ) is passed over an air-to-water intercooler ( ) then over an air-to-air intercooler ( ) for heat exchange with liquid coolant and with ambient air ( ) respectively. During periods of low ambient air temperature, the combustion air may be directed through a bypass duct ( ) around the air-to-air intercooler, and further, may be heated by the coolant in the air-to-water intercooler. A multi-speed fan ( ) and/or shutters ( ) may be used to control the flow of ambient air across the air-to-air intercooler. A cooling duct ( ) provides a flow of ambient air to the fan motor ( ) during periods of operation when the flow of ambient air over the air-to-air heat exchanger is restricted by the shutters. Coolant exiting a subcooler ( ) has the lowest temperature in the system and is directed to a lube oil cooler ( ) for engine lubricant cooling.

A dynamic braking system for a vehicle, the system comprising an engine, an alternator, a plurality of alternating current (AC) electric traction motors, each coupled in driving relationship to a respective one of a plurality of driven wheels, a plurality of power inverters where each of the traction motors has excitation windings coupled in circuit with a corresponding one of the plurality of power inverters, a fuel-free dynamic braking controller, a fuel-free dynamic braking transfer switch located between one of the plurality of traction motors and the one of the plurality of power inverters in circuit with the corresponding one of the plurality of power inverters, wherein the one of the plurality of traction motors in circuit with the corresponding one of the plurality of power inverters that is separated by the fuel-free dynamic braking transfer switch does not generate and does not consume power, and wherein the fuel-free dynamic braking controller commands one of the plurality of power inverters that is separated by the fuel-free distributed braking transfer switch from one the traction motor to convert direct current (DC) power into AC power for use by the vehicle.
Method For Eliminating Fuel Use During Dynamic Braking
A method for reducing engine fuel consumption of an electro-motive vehicle during braking, the method including steps for providing an engine for the vehicle, generating primary electric power at a primary electric power generator connected to the engine, generating primary electric power at a secondary electric power generator connected to the engine, operating a plurality of electric traction motors each coupled in driving relationship to a respective one of a plurality of driven wheels to propel the vehicle during motoring operations and to generate electricity upon braking operations of the vehicle, electrically connecting a braking switch between the traction motors and the primary electric power generator, applying braking, closing the braking switch, and transmitting power generated by the traction motors to the primary electric power generator to operate as a motor to rotate the engine and drive the secondary electric power generator to power the auxiliary equipment without fueling the engine.
Locomotive Engine Inlet Air Apparatus And Method Of Controlling Inlet Air Temperature

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
B61C 502
US Classification:
105 2605
Abstract:
Automatic control of the temperature of the inlet air being supplied to the engine (12) of a locomotive (10) in order to optimize the performance of the engine (12) under a variety of ambient air temperatures and pressures. One or more valves (38) is utilized to control the flow of warm air from the engine compartment (14) into the air inlet path (20). The position of valve (38) is controlled by controller (42) in response to at least one of an ambient air temperature signal T. sub. A, an ambient atmospheric pressure signal P. sub. A, and an inlet air temperature signal T. sub. I. The temperature of the air flowing through the warm air flow path 28 may be controlled by selecting from among a plurality of possible inlets (30, 32, 50). By varying the volume and temperature of the air flowing through the warm air flow path (28), the temperature and density of the air supplied at the engine inlet (18) may be moderated across a broad range of ambient air temperatures and pressures.

US Classification:
123 4133
Abstract:
An enhanced split cooling system for a turbocharger and an engine includes an oil cooler, a three-way valve assembly and a four-way valve assembly for controlling the flow of coolant, and radiators and subcoolers, for controlling coolant temperature. The valve assemblies are independently controllable to direct coolant through an oil cooler and a turbocharger intercooler either directly from the engine if the oil cooler and intercooler require heating or from the radiators and subcoolers if the oil cooler and intercooler require cooling. Depending upon the engine operating temperature, the valve assemblies can be configured to establish at least three different coolant processing modes.

Abstract:
A flexible composite coupling (20) wherein a wound filament or roving is wound between two attachment members (22) and (24) and is fully or partially impregnated with a resin matrix such as urethane to form a flexible element (32). The attachment members (22) and (24) include radially extending flanges (26) and (28) which have a radiused periphery (30) formed on them, over which the flexible element (32) is wound. The flexible element (32) diverges inwardly from the flanges' (26) and (28) radiused periphery (30) to form opposed diaphragm portions (34) and (35) of the flexible element (32) which smoothly meet at a minimum diameter (36). Hoop winds (38) of a material with high strain capacity wrapped about this minimum diameter (36) pretension the filaments or roving within the flexible element (32).
