Sub: Final maximum permissible speed certificate of high hp duel fuel
DEMU fitted with CNG cylinders and conversion kit upto maximum
speed of 100 km/h.
High horse power diesel electric multiple unit has exhibited satisfactory riding
during detailed oscillation trials conducted on Chennai-Bangalore section of
Southern and South Western Railways up to a maximum sped of 110 kmvh, the.
results of which are contained in ROSO’s Report no. MT-250 of September’ 2000,
Based on these results, the high horse power DEMU has been permitted to operate!
on main fine standard track upto maximum speed of 80/100 km/h, vide this office
final speed certificate no. MC/RLC/D dated 18-10-2000 followed by amendment of
even no dated 07-01-2002 permitting speed of 100 km/h. Each unit consists of one
driving car (DPC), two trailer cars (TC) and one driving trailer coach (DTC) which
have been manufactured as per ICF drawing nos. DMU/DPC 5-9-0-501 latest
alteration, DMU/TC 4-9-0-401 latest alteration and DMU/OTC 4-9-0-401 latest
alteration respectively. The HP-DMU can be run in multiples of 1, 2 or more units as
per traffic demands. Existing 1400 HP DEMU are provided with diesel engine of
type KTA-50-L of Cummins make vide letter No. 2004/DewCeli/TML/2, dated
08.10.2004
1.1 Modification of existing engine into dual fuel engine will involve provision of a
cascade consisting of CNG cylinders and conversion kit as per sketch no. CG -
K5021 consisting of controlling valves and gas conditioning equipment. Increase in
weight due to provision of cascade is compensated by reduction in passenger
capacity and also reduction in fuel tank capacity. Modification work has already
been carried out on one DPC for provision of CNG kit and storage system. Chief
Commissioner of Railway Safety vide letter no. Q-17015/1/2004-RS dated 10-02-
2005 has accorded sanction for dispensation of oscillation trials for high hp dual
fuel DEMU fitted with CNG cylinders, subject to getting clearance from the
competent authority regarding mounting of onboard CNG cylinders in engine /
compartments.
2. Based on this sanction and the design features of high hp duel fuel DEMU
fitted with CNG cylinders and conversion kit, itis certified that dual fuel DEMU can
be permitted to operate up to a speed of 100 km/h, subject to the following
conditions:21

density and depth of ballast cushion below sleepers of 200 mm, which may
consist of at least 75 mm clean and the rest in caked up condition, on
compacted and stable formation.
For track of lower standard than that mentioned above, the Chief Engineer

The maximum permissible speed on curves shall be decided on the basis of
the existing provisions of the Indian Railways Permanent Way Manual -
1986.
Bridges
The clearance refers to bridges with standard design of girders, slabs, pipe
culverts, pier and abutments etc, issued by RDSO for BGML, RBG an¢

Concrete Bridge Code, Arch Bridge Code, Bridge Sub-Structure and
Foundation Code etc. read with up to date correction slips.
This clearance is subject to the following parameters of the rolling stock
i) | Maximum axle load 19.2t (DPC), 13.3t (TC/DTC)
i) Maximum tractive effort 15.2
iii) | Maximum braking force 5.1t (DPC), 3.87t (TC/DTC)
iv) | CG height above rail level not to exceed 1830 mm
Signalling
Provision of GR, SR, SEM and all extant instructions issued time to time
shall be complied with.
Rolling Stock
Before starting the operation, CME of the railway will certify the track
worthiness and safety of the rolling stocks. He will also ensure propor

to mount the CNG cylinders in the engine compartment of the DEMU.
25 General
2.5.1 Alll the permanent and temporary speed restrictions in force and those that
may be imposed from time to time due to track, bridges, curves, signalling
and interlocking etc. shall be observed.
2.5.2 The profile of high hp duel fuel DEMU fitted with CNG cylinders and
conversion kit is same as existing BG mainline coaches and are within the
