CONTROL METHOD FOR RAIL-CAR

摘要

PURPOSE: To establish effective utilization of a fuel by controlling the revolving speeds of a plurality of engines, which share the power dispersedly, individually so that the rate of fuel consumption minimizes according to the load which the train requires. CONSTITUTION: The control line includes a main control device 8 and a dispersive control device 9 for each of a plurality of engines. The main control device 8 is fed with a command of a trunk controller 6 for the engine control and the conditions of a velocity type power generator 10 and the applicable engine (the condition of the engine to be fed through a communication line 11) and judges which engine should be operated with how heavy a load. The command applicable is transmitted to the dispersive control device 9 through the communication line 11. That control device 9 which has received the command gives specified commands to a solenoid valve 5 for controlling a liquid type transmission and a fuel control device 4. The control command is made to the engines individually upon judging the size of the power which the train requires at that time to be passed upon the rail-car train total basis.
