Preface
The objectives of the practical training are to learn something about industries practically and to be familiar with the working style of a technical person to adjust simply according to the industrial environment.
It is rightly said practical life is far away from theoretical one. We learn in class room can give the practical exposure or real life experience no doubt they help in improving the personality of the student in long run of life and will be able to implement the theoretical knowledge. As a part of academic syllabus of four year degree course in Mechanical Engineering, every student is required to undergo a practical training.
I am student of the Final Year Mechanical Engineering & this report is written on the basis of practical knowledge of acquired by me during the period of practical training taken at Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi.
This report is presented in very simple & understanding language on the basis of Primary and Secondary data.

INTRODUCTION
Background
Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) is production unit under the ministry of railways. This was setup in collaboration with American locomotive company (ALCO) USA in 1961 and the first locomotive was rolled out in 1964. This unit produces diesel electronic locomotives and DG sets for Indian railways and other customers in India and Abroad.
Subsequently a contract for transfer of technology of 4000 HP Microprocessor Controlled AC/AC Freight (GT 46 MAC) / passenger (GT 46 PAC) locomotives and family of 710 engines has been signed with electro motive division of general motors of USA for manufacture in DLW. The production of these locomotives has now started and thus DLW is the only manufacturers of Diesel Electric Locomotives with both ALCO and General motors technologies in the world.
Brief History
Set up in 1961 as a green-field project in technical collaboration with LCO/USA to Manufacture Diesel Electric Locomotives. First locomotive rolled out and dedicated to nation in January, 1964. Transfer-of-Technology agreement signed with General Motors/ USA in October, 95 to manufacture state-of-the-art high traction AC-AC diesel locomotive. Indian Railways is the state-owned railway company of India.

It comes under the Ministry of Railways. Indian Railways has one of the largest and busiest rail networks in the world, transporting over 18 million passengers and more than 2 million tonnes of freight daily. Its revenue is Rs.107.66 billion. It is the world's largest commercial employer, with more than 1.4 million employees. It operates rail transport on 6,909 stations over a total route length of more than 63,327 kilometres (39,350 miles).The fleet of Indian railway includes over 200,000 (freight) wagons, 50,000 coaches and 8,000 locomotives. It also owns locomotive and coach production facilities. It was founded in 1853 under the East India Company. Indian Railways is administered by the Railway Board. Indian Railways is divided into 16 zones. Each zone railway is made up of a certain number of divisions. There are a total of sixty-seven divisions. It also operates the Kolkata metro. There are six manufacturing plants of the Indian Railways. The total length of track used by Indian Railways is about 108,805 km (67,608 mi) while the total route length of the network is 63,465 km (39,435 mi). About 40% of the total track kilometer is electrified & almost all electrified sections use 25,000 V AC. Indian railways uses four rail track gauges.
The broad gauge (1670 mm)The meter gauge (1000 mm)Narrow gauge (762 mm)Narrow gauge (610 mm).Indian Railways operates about 9,000 passenger trains and transports 18 million passengers daily .Indian Railways makes 70% of its revenues and most of its profits from the freight sector, and uses these profits to cross-subsidies the loss-making passenger sector. The Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express are the fastest trains of India.

LINE DIAGRA M OF DIESEL LOCMO TIVE
Main Alternator:-
The diesel engine drives the main alternator which provides the power to move the train. The alternator generates AC electricity which is used to provide power for the traction motors mounted on the trucks. In older locomotives, the alternator was a DC machine, called a generator. It produced direct current which was used to provide power for DC traction motors. Many of them machines are still in regular use. The next development was the replacement of the generator by the alternator but still using DC traction motors. The AC output is rectified is give the DC required for the motors.Auxiliary Alternator:-Locomotive used to operate passenger trains are equipped with an auxiliary alternator. This provides AC power for lightening, heating, air conditioning, dining facilities etc on the train .The output is transmitted along the train through an auxiliary power line.
26
MOTOR BLOWER
The diesel engine also drives a motor blower. As its name suggests , The motor blower provides the air which is blown over the traction motors to keep them cool during periods of heavy work. The blower is mounted inside the locomotive body but the motors are on the trucks, so the blower output is connected to each of the motors through flexible ducting.
The blower output also cools the alternators. Some design s have separate blowers for the group of motors on each truck and others for the alternators. Whatever the arrangement , a modern locomotive has a complex air management system which monitors the temperature of the various rotating machines in the locomotive and adjust the flow of air accordingly.
AIR INTAKE.
The air for cooling the locomotives motors is drawn in from outside the locomotive . It has to be filtered to remove dust and other impurities and its flow regulated by temperature , both sides and of the locomotive. The air temperature system has to take account of the wide range of temperatures from the possible +40°C of summer and to the possible -40°C of winter.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLE
Almost every part of the modern locomotive equipment has some of electronic control. These are usually collect d in a control cubicle near the cab for easy access.
27
Cab :
The standard configuration of US- designed locomotive is to have a cab at one end of the locomotive only.
Batteries
Just like automobile , the diesel engine needs a battery to start it and to provide electrical power for the lights and controls when the engine is switched off and the alternator is not running.
Traction motor
Since the diesel- locomotive uses electric transmission , traction motors are provided on the axles to give the final drive .These motors were traditionally DC but the development of the modern power and control electronics has led to the introduction of 3Φ AC motors.
28
PINION/GEAR ;-
The traction motor drives the axles through a reduction gear of a range between 3 to1 and 4 to 1 (passenger)
Fuel tank;-
A diesel locomotive has to carry its own fuel around with it and there has to be enough for a reasonable length of trip. The fuel tank is normally under the loco frame and will have a capacity of say 1000 imperial gallons .the new AC 6000s have 5500 gallon tanks .In addition to fuel , the locomotive will carry around , typically about 300US gallon of cooling water and 250 gallon of lubrication oil for the diesel engine.
29
Air compressor :-
The air compressor is required to provide a constant supply of compressed air for the locomotive and train brakes.
Drive shaft;- The main output from the diesel engine is transmitted by the drive shaft to the alternators at one end and the radiator fans and compressor at the other end.Gear box :- The radiator and its cooling fan are often located in the roof of the locomotive . Drive to the fan is therefore through a gearbox to change the direction of the drive upwards.
Turbo charger;-
The amount of the power attained from a cylinder in a diesel engine depends on how much fuel can be burn it in. the amount of fuel which can be burnt depends on the amount of air available in the cylinder .So turbocharger is used to increase the amount of air pushed into each cylinder . The turbocharger is driven by exhaust gas from the engine . This gas drives a fan which in turn , drives a small compressor which pushes the additional air into the cylinder. The turbo charging gives a 50% increase in engine power.
30
Sand box:_
Locomotives always carry sand to assist adhesion in bad rail conditions.
Truck frame :-
This is part (called the bogie in the UK) carrying the wheels and traction motors of the locomotive.
MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION:-
As the name suggests, a mechanical transmission on a diesel locomotive consists a direct link between the diesel engine and the wheels. In the example given below , the diesel engine is in the 350-500HP range and the transmission is similar to that of an automobile with a four speed gearbox
31
STARTING :-
A diesel engine is started(like an automobile) by turning over the crankshaft until the crankshaft until the cylinders fire or begin combustion .The starting can be done electrically or pneumatically .Pneumatic starting was used for some engines. Compressed air was pumped into the cylinders of the engine , until it gain sufficient speed to allow the ignition , than fuel was applied to fire the engine. The compressed air was supplied from a small auxiliary engine or by high pressure air cylinders carried by the locomotive. Electric starting is now standard . It works same way as for an automobile, with batteries providing the power to turn a start motor which turns over the main engine. In older locomotives fitted with DC generators instead of AC alternators, the generator was used as a starter motor by applying battery power to it.Governor:- Once a diesel engine is running , engine speed is monitored and controlled through a governor . Governors ensures that the engine speed stays high enough to idle at right speed and that the engine speed will not raised to high when full power is demanded. The governors is simple mechanical device which first appeared on steam engines . It operate on the diesel engine as shown in the diagram below .
32
Cooling:-
Like an automobile engine , the diesel engine need to works at an optimum temperature for best efficiency .when it starts , it is too cold , and when working ,it must not to be allowed to get too hot. To keep the temperature stable , a cooling system is provided
.this consist of a water based coolant circulating around the engine block, the coolant being kept cool by passing it through a radiator. Another reason for keeping diesel engines running is that the constant heating and cooling caused by produce leaks.
Lubrication:- Like an automobile engine , a diesel engine needs lubrication. In an arrangement similar to the engine cooling system, lubrication oil is distributed around the engine to the cylinder ,crankshaft and other moving parts .The radiator is sometimes design as a heat exchanger ,where the oil passes through pipes encased in a water tank which is connected to the engine cooling system .The oil has to be filtered to remove impurities and it has to monitored for low pressure if oil pressure falls to a level which could cause the engine to size up ,a “low oil pressure switch” will shut down the engine .There is also a high pressure relief valve ,to drain off excess oil back to the sump.Transmissions:- Like an automobile, a diesel locomotive cannot start itself directly from a stand. It will not develop maximum power at idling speed, so it needs some form of transmission system to multiply torque when starting. It will also be necessary to vary the power applied according to the train weight or the line gradient. There are three methods of doing this: mechanical, hydraulic or electric . Most diesel locomotive use electric transmission and are called “diesel-electric” locomotive . Mechanical and hydraulic transmission are still used but are more common on multiple unit trains or lighter locomotives.

FINDING AND CONCLUSION:-
After completing my project I familiarize with DLW, and I get that diesel locomotive works is a famous technological temple, which came in existence, in 1964 by Late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri. DLW export to the following countries like Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, Angola, Tanzania, Vietnam ,Sengal Mozambique, Malaysia, Sudan, Myanmar etc.
There are many facilities for the employees as hospital, health club, sports club, school and college, sewing center, technical training center etc. In short we can say that all the facility which the ordinary employee needed is provided by welfare department and the entire employee are very well aware with welfare programmers. They take advantage with programme in any form. Very few improvement but important improvement, which mentioned above, is needed in welfare programmes, which make the employees more satisfied.
