Passenger diesel locomotive ТEP70U

Passenger diesel locomotive ТEP70U

Passenger mainline diesel locomotive ТEP70U rated 3000 kW (4080 hp) per section (design speed 160 km/h) is a modified version of diesel locomotive ТEP70BS standardized with it for main components. The locomotive is produced without train car power supply system.

ТEP70U is intended for hauling passenger trains on Russian non-electrified main lines with gage 1520 mm.

It can be operated in the countries of the Union of Independent States and the Baltic region.

According to GOST 15150-69 the climatic version is designated with symbol U.

Advantages:
  • Usage of microprocessor-based control and diagnostics system
  • Reduction of operating costs
  • Reduction of maintenance and repair costs
  • Higher train safety
  • Better working conditions for the locomotive crew and train attendants
  • Better comfort for passengers
  • Environmental compatibility

    The diesel locomotive reduces harmful effect of the locomotive on environment due to reduction of harmful emissions.

Technical description

Diesel locomotive ТEP70U is equipped with diesel-generator 2А-9DG-02 including diesel engine 16ChN26/26 by Kolomensky Zavod and traction generator installed on a common bed plate. The engine representing a family of standardized diesel engines D49 is 4-stroke, 16-cylinder, V-type turbocharged engine with charge air cooling.

The a.c.-d.c. electric transmission employed on the locomotive includes traction generator GST 2800-1000У2, rectifying unit V-ТPPDR-6,3к-1к UKHL2 and 6 d.c. traction electric motors EDU – 133R UKHL1.

Locomotive equipment is installed in a wagon body having frame without diagonal brace and welded iron sheathing included in load-bearing structure. The loco body has 2 cabs, engine room and 2 tambours. The body roof consists of separate detachable sections. The load-bearing scheme of the body frame includes channels of centralized air supply system to supply air for electric machinery and devices. Diesel-generator and other equipment are located in engine room providing easy access to the equipment from both sidewalls of the body.

Locomotive configuration and control are similar to those of locomotive TEP70BS.
