Patent number: 6397759Abstract: A locomotive is described including a frame having a wall with a roof and floor defining an enclosed space thereon. A turbine engine is disposed within the enclosed space. An air inlet is provided to permit ingress of air into the enclosed space for ingestion by the turbine and for circulation around the turbine to cool the turbine. A first silencer is disposed between the air inlet and the turbine to minimize noise generated by the turbine. An exhaust duct, for connection to the exhaust outlet of the turbine, is also provided to permit egress of exhaust gases generated by the turbine from the enclosed space. In addition, a second silencer, connected to the exhaust duct, is provided to minimize noise generated by the turbine.

Patent number: 4461218Abstract: In a propulsion unit for the driven axles of an electrically-powered rail vehicle, the torque of an electric propulsion motor is transmitted to the respective driven axle by way of a torque transmitting mechanism including gears and couplings. A common housing in the form of a hollow beam is used to enclose the propulsion motor, a bearing system, and a transmission. Cut-outs are provided in the sides of the housing to allow space for the driven axles. In order to increase the flexural and torsional stiffness of the propulsion unit, the hollow beam includes an annular end surface through which the propulsion motor and torque transmitting apparatus are inserted. The hollow beam not only forms a common housing or the propulsion components, but is a very stiff support element that reduces vibration and improves the running behavior of the propulsion unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1981Date of Patent: July 24, 1984Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jurgen Kuhlow, Christian Sohrt
