2.12 FIRE SEFTY :
Fire safety is a serious concern of Indian Railways. Manufacturer has to give design input in enhancing features in engine and alternator, so that there is no likelihood of fire due to leakage of fuel, lube, fuel/lube under pressure mixed with air, short circuit, insulation failure, over voltage, over current beyond permissible limit, surface temperature being too high, joints faling during service, proximity of joints to hot areas and battery etc. Since the DA set is installed in a rolling stock having continuous vibrations, besides own vibration of DA Set, there are chances of it impacting wiring, joints in under pressure lube, fuel tubes, assembly etc. Therefore a shock and vibration test at a NABL accredited lab/ Government lab is to be conducted at the prototype before commissioning test. Following are some check points for the inspector conducting prototype to enhance fire safety.
i) Any high pressure/ low pressure pipe line should be for away from the high temperature zone like as exhaust manifold, turbocharger compressed air line.
ii) Metallic collector with proper drainage arrangement below fuel & lube oil pipe lines. iii) Provision of adequate clamps on pipe lines for better handling of vibrations. iv) Minimal number of joints in fuel & lube oil pipe lines to be used. v) No Aluminum Sheets or plates shall be used with DA Set or during installation of DA Set in
Power Car.” In lieu SS or GI sheets of suitable thickness may be used. vi) All joints should have stainless steel parker fittings or equivalent stainless steel fittings. vii) Only metallic rigid/ flexible fuel & lube oil pipe lines to be used.
viii) Provision of fire sleeve hoses on rubber tubes if use is inevitable.
ix) Fuel lift pump, water separator filter, fuel filter and flow meter to be away from body of engine
(on other side of battery).
x) Minimum number of filters to be used..

600ºC or in the event the limit (50±10ºC) for variation in exhaust temperature on either bank is
exceeded (if ‘V’ shape engine).
xiii) All safety check will be done.

C-1.0 Radiator System:
C-1.1 The radiator and its cooling system layout should be designed in such a way that it should
transmit minimum noise on the Railway plate form.
C-1.2 The power required for radiator cooling should be as low as possible and in no case should be
more than 30 kW.
C-1.3 The fan shall have an air handling capacity (in cu. meter /hour) of at least 20% more than the
minimum requirements of the radiator to maintain the engine cooling water temperature at the
specified level under continuous full rated load of the engine at site conditions. The fan shall
deliver the air volume at a minimum static head of 50 mm W.G
C-1.4 Suitable louvers/sound attenuator are to be provided in front of the radiator to facilitate air flow
and prevent Sound leakage.
C-1.5 Suitable louvers /sound attenuator are to be provided in front of the radiator to facilitate air flow
and prevent Sound leakage.
C-1.6 Tests:
C-1.6.1 Blower motor shall be subjected to type and acceptance tests in accordance to relevant IS
specification.
C-1 6.2 Radiator capacity test (at simulated or equated site conditions at 55˚ C )
Testing procedure is given below:
i) Under this test diesel engine is connected to the radiator designed for use in the high capacity
power car and operated at 100% and 110% load. This test is conducted with the radiator in the
free and 30% choked condition. For the later the surface area of the radiator is blocked in a
distributed manner for 30% of the area. During this test the inlet and outlet temperature and the
flow of water and air are measured.

ii) The water temperature, the heat transferred through water and air are computed and
compared with the declared heat balance characteristics.
iii) If the radiator inlet air is preheated to 55 ° C (for simulation) then the test is conducted in the
prevailing ambient temperature and the water temperature at the equated site conditions is
determined. The radiator inlet water temperature recorded shall be well below the maximum
permissible temperature by the value equal to the difference between 55˚ C and the test ambient
temperature. LAT (Limited ambient test) shall be more than 55°C at rated load during combined
test.
LAT=Maximum allowable Temp.-coolant Temp+ Ambient temp.
iv) For the purpose of the test, thermostat regulating the water flow through the radiator shall be
kept open
C-1.6.3 Capacity of the blower for radiator cooling shall be specified.
C-1 .6.4 The firm shall create a mockup at their works to simulate the service conditions.
