FUEL CONSERVATION [6 records]

Record 1 2019-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Traction (Rail)
  • Railroad Safety
CONT

Auto-start systems... can be installed on locomotives to automatically shut down and restart locomotives for fuel conservation and to protect critical systems. Locomotives equipped with auto-start will automatically shut down when they are idling for a set time and will automatically restart when certain parameters are met, such as when locomotive brake cylinder pressure falls below a prescribed level and when main reservoir pressure falls below 100 psi. However, the auto-start feature would be nullified if the locomotive is set to isolate, or if it has been shut down manually.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traction (Chemins de fer)
  • Sécurité (Transport par rail)
CONT

Les systèmes de démarrage automatique [...] peuvent être installés sur les locomotives pour les arrêter et les faire redémarrer automatiquement par souci d'économie de carburant et de protection des systèmes critiques. Les locomotives munies d'un système de démarrage automatique s'arrêtent d'elles-mêmes lorsqu'elles fonctionnent au ralenti pendant une période pré-établie et redémarrent automatiquement lorsque certains paramètres sont atteints, par exemple lorsque la pression dans le cylindre de frein de la locomotive diminue jusqu'à un niveau déterminé, et lorsque la pression dans le réservoir principal passe à moins de 100 lb/po2. Toutefois, la fonction de démarrage automatique est annulée si la locomotive est isolée ou si le moteur a été coupé manuellement.

OBS

Korea Institute of Energy Research(KIER) currently undertakes research and development of energy conservation technologies for rational use of energy and for improvement of energy efficiency, of energy related environmental technologies for the reduction of environmental pollution from fossil fuel utilization, as well as clean energy, and of alternative energy technologies that are unlimited in source and a pollution-free, such as the sun and the wind. KIER plays a pivotal role in developing technologies to support national energy policy as the nations sole research institute specializing in energy.

Record 6 1981-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

Many of the proposals are largely concerned with human factors in air traffic control-the importance of clearing flights at the altitudes asked for, where fuel savings are being made en route, the use of established fuel conservation descent procedures and the reduction of circuitous routings.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

(...) il est important d'accorder aux commandants de bord l'altitude qu'ils demandent pour des raisons de consommation optimale en croisière (...) et de réduire les détours qu'impliquent certaines procédures de cheminement ou de contournement.
