摘要:
An integrated turbo-boosting system for an engine system including an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine having at least one combustion chamber with an intake system and an exhaust system. The integrated turbo-boosting system includes a turbo-boosting device including a compressor coupled to a turbine by a rotating shaft, the turbine driven by exhaust gas, and an electric generation system integrated into a portion of the turbo-boosting device, the electric generation system configured to generate electricity for an electrical system. The electric generation system is maintained at an operation temperature through direction of an intake gas around at least a portion of the electric generation system. The integrated turbo-boosting system is operated in a first mode to compress intake gas for supply to the engine and a second mode to generate electrical power.
摘要:
A method for communicating data in a rail vehicle consist includes transmitting first data at a first rail vehicle of the consist over a power supply conductor to a second, different rail vehicle in the consist, where at least one rail vehicle of the consist receives direct electrical power from the power supply conductor. The method also includes monitoring the power supply conductor for second data at the first rail vehicle and receiving the second data over the power supply conductor at the first rail vehicle for use by a first system onboard the first rail vehicle. In one aspect, the transmitting step comprises transmitting the first data over one or more of a catenary line or a third rail that supplies the electrical power.
