IC Engine Locomotives TRIZ Cases
- Dual Lithium-Ion Battery Control for Locomotive Engine Starting
Dual lithium-ion batteries with control chassis and HMI improve locomotive monitoring, switching, and reliable diesel engine starting.
- Locomotive Energy Recovery Battery for Auxiliary Power Load
During coasting or braking, the traction motor recharges a primary battery that powers auxiliary locomotive loads and frees diesel horsepower for propulsion.
- Flexible Hydrogen Transport Hose for Articulated Fuel Cell Vehicles
A corrugated or coiled hydrogen hose bridges vehicle parts, handling cornering and length changes while maintaining safe, fatigue-resistant gas transport.
- Locomotive Main-Deck Fuel Compartments for Gaseous Tank Integration
Integrated main-deck fuel compartments store pressurized gaseous fuel tanks in structural wells, increasing capacity without sacrificing locomotive space.
- Locomotive Fuel Consumption Prediction With Adaptive AI Modeling
An AI model learns baseline and field train data to predict fuel consumption despite changing locomotive operations.
- Two-Unit Gas-Turbine Locomotive Fuel and Power Segmentation
Segmenting the power unit and fuel tank reduces explosion hazards while maintaining balanced axial loads for operational stability.
- Locomotive Frame Asymmetric Recesses Vibration Decoupling
Asymmetric recesses in side members reduce mass while a load-bearing sheath raises vertical flexion frequency above 6.5 Hz to decouple bogie vibrations.
- Rail Vehicle Cooler Separator with Bypass Suction
A rail vehicle cooler assembly uses a bypass suction system to actively remove separated impurities from the collection box.
