Capacitor starting systems CSS for diesel engines
Capacitor starting systems
(CSS) are designed to increase reliability and service
life of diesel starting systems, improve operation and
servicing conditions of the locomotives, especially under
low ambient temperatures.
Capacitor starting systems of locomotive diesels include
capacitive
molecular energy stores
(MES) allow to overcome the starting resistance of
the crankshaft (1.5 – 2 seconds) and decrease the
starting accumulator battery current almost ten times.
CSS are
designed for the following purposes: increase the
reliability, increase the diesel service life, improving
operational and servicing conditions of the locomotives.
The following improvements and advantages are
achieved due to use of
CSS :
- The diesel can be
started even in case the capacity of the accumulator
battery drops to 40-30 %.
- The starting power
of the
CSS
almost 10 times exceeds the standard accumulator
batteries.
- Guaranteed quick
starting of the diesel at low temperatures ensures
considerable fuel economy, especially at industrial
enterprises with cyclical technological transportation.
- Allows to decrease
the required capacity of the accumulator batteries, to
replace them with cheaper ones, for example, car
batteries.
- Economy up to 7
thousand USD can be achieved only due to the
difference in prices of the batteries.
- It is possible to use
traction accumulator batteries of long-term discharge or
lead acid batteryes, their cost is 2 to 8 times less than
that of the standard batteries, and the service life is
almost the same.
- The service life of
the CSS is up to 15 years.
- The number of
charge-discharge cycles – 2 millions.
- MES are fire and explosion safe, don’t contain toxic
substances.
- CSS are extremely reliable, don’t require special
maintenance, they withstand deep discharges, wrong
polarity and short circuit.
Capacitor starting systems are
connected to standard starting systems of EN-US">
locomotive diesels.
The standard starting
system includes starter-generator or traction generator
which works in as a starter, accumulator battery (AB)
with rated voltage 64 V or 96 V, oil pumping system and
starting contactors.
Capacitor
system CSS -75 with energy storages
MES -25/75 is designed for locomotive starting systems
with control voltage 75 V and rated accumulator voltage
64 V. Capacitor system
CSS -9/110 is
designed for locomotive starting systems with control
voltage 110 V and rated accumulator voltage 96 V.
The charging-discharging
equipment, erection and servicing of the
CSS are made by Scientific-and-Production
Company LLC “Yugtechnotrans” (Certificate of the
authorized representative in Ukraine dated 01.07.2008).
