Abstract:
A system and/or method of controlling smoke or noise emanating from a diesel engine wherein a throttle is drivingly coupled to the diesei engine, and wherein an operator of the engine changes a throttle position. The system comprises a high pressure fuel pump in fluid communication with a fuel reservoir, a fuel accumulator, in fluid communication with the high pressure fuel pump, one or more injectors that are in fluid communication with the fuel accumulator and each of the fuel injectors. A main controller transmits a signal in response to a change in the throttle position. A fuel injection controller, in electrical communication with the main controller, in response to one or more signals relative to a transient operation, transmits one or more signals relative to fuei injection parameters of a fuel injection made during the transient operation.
Abstract:
A configurable diesel powered system is provided for controlling engine emissions of a diesel-fueled power generating unit. The diesel-fueled power generating unit includes an engine operating on at least one fuel type. The system includes a plurality of operational input devices coupled with a processor to generate operational input signals to the processor. A plurality of end use devices include fuel tanks for each respective fuel type and are controlled by the processor to control the engine emissions. A configuration input device in communication with the processor generates a respective configuration signal for each particular location along the predetermined course comprising a mission. The processor is responsive to the operational input devices and configuration signals to generate a set of control signals to the fuel tanks to limit the total engine emissions of all fuel types to a respective stored engine emission profile for each configuration signal for each particular location along the predetermined course comprising the mission.
Abstract:
A system is provided for temporary protection operation of at least one controller box for a railroad switch turnout in a powered mode or non-power mode depending on the railroad configuration and independent of the controller box. A normal controller box is coupled to the normal switch point and includes a block slidably received within the housing based on moving the normal switch point to establish at least one pair of electrical contacts within the housing. A controller is coupled to the controller box to verify a pair of compressed contacts to determine that the normal switch point has moved to the normal position to cause the controller box to send an open signal to a pair of switch connections. The controller also verifies a pair of extended contacts to determine that the normal switch point has failed to move to the normal position to omit to cause said controller box to send an open signal to the pair of switch connections and maintain each respective switch connection to shunt the stationary stock rails.
