摘要： An apparatus for ventilating the cabin of a locomotive wherein the ducts serve both a ventilating and a structural function. Horizontal duct provides support for floor in place of one or more of the regularly spaced joists. Horizontal duct may include stringers recessed into sound absorbing insulation within the duct. Vertical duct is formed in part from a portion of a wall of the control compartment of the locomotive cabin, thereby eliminating the need for separate wall sections. The space saved by using such structures for dual purposes may be used to increase the cross-sectional area of the ventilating apparatus, thereby allowing the speed of fan to be reduced to provide the desired ventilation at a reduced level of sound.

摘要翻译： 用于使机车的机舱通风的装置，其中所述管道既用于通风和结构功能。 水平导管支撑地板代替一个或多个规则间隔的托梁。 水平管道可以包括凹陷在管道内的吸音绝缘体中的桁条。 垂直导管部分地从机车车厢的控制室的壁的一部分形成，从而不需要单独的壁部分。 通过使用这种结构为双重目的而节省的空间可以用于增加通风装置的横截面面积，从而允许减小风扇的速度以在降低的声音水平提供期望的通风。

摘要： A sanitary system for a locomotive wherein the treatment tank is protected from freezing by the use of the heat available in the exhaust air removed from the toilet compartment. A sealed and insulated compartment is formed around the treatment tank, and a vent is connected between the toilet room and the insulated compartment. A suction line located at an opposed position in the insulated compartment is used to direct the flow of air from the toilet room, through the insulated compartment around the treatment tank, to the locomotive exterior. By eliminating the need for heat tracing of the treatment tank, this invention reduces the cost and energy usage of the locomotive sanitary system.
