    Coaches
    • If BP/FP metallic pipe broken or Cut Off Angle Cock
    leakage..
    Any Ferrule joint worked out..
    By-pass the Air Brake system of that coach,
    LHB coaches are not permitted to run with
    Single pipe Air Brake System because..

    LHB coaches are provided with

    ➢WSP system in Disc brake system and


    ➢Air Spring suspension in some coaches.
    For by-passing, use coach length flexible pipe
    (length approx. 28m).
    For converting BP flexible pipe to FP or FP flexible pipe
    to BP..
    use BP/FP palm end couplers.

    FP by-pass Pipe BP by-pass Pipe BP/FP palm end


    (Coach length) (Coach length) Coupler
    Procedure of by-passing of BP/FP in
    LHB Coaches
    • Close BP/FP cut off angle cocks on both ends of the
    affected coach.
    • Close BP/FP cut off angle cocks of both the adjacent
    coaches.
    • Un couple BP/FP air hoses between affected coach
    and adjacent coaches.
    • Run coach length BP / FP by-pass flexible pipe inside
    the affected coach and tied properly.
    • Connect coach length BP / FP by-pass flexible pipe
    to both the adjacent coaches and open BP/FP cut off
    angle cocks.
    • Ensure manual release of affected coach and
    the adjacent coaches.
    • Ensure brake indicators of all the coaches in
    Green colour.
    • Check the BP/FP pressures in front and rear
    power cars.
    • Ensure the air continuity and allow the train.
    NOTE :- 1) In case FP pipe by-passing and if coach is
    of Air suspension, isolate Air Bellows and run the
    train with SR 60 KMPH.

    2) In case BP By-Passed, Brake system and ACP of


    that coach will not work.

    Check point IV:
    The Knuckle and Coupler Head machined faces
    should be parallel.
    Check Point V:

    No oil or grease should be applied on the coupler


    internal parts such as Knuckle, Lock, Rotary Lock
    Lifter etc., oil and grease on the coupler internal
    parts can cause the Lock to slide and lead to
    uncoupling automatically.

    Isolation of Air Spring
    suspension in case any air
    spring burst or heavy leakage
    ADVANTAGES OF AIR SUSPENSION

    ➢ Maintain constant floor height of coach.

    ➢ Capable to sustain higher loads.

    ➢ Provide better riding comfort.

    ➢ Reducing passenger fatigue.

    ➢ Isolation of structure borne noise.

    ➢ Improved reliability, reduced maintenance

    BTC WB 18.02.2020
    Need of FIBA
    • There may be possibilities that during the normal
    running of the coach at high speed that one of
    the bellows may rupture due to various reasons
    such as a track side ballast hit or a cattle or
    animal run over leading to extensive damage to
    under-frame mounted equipment including the
    bellows.
    • When a bellow ruptures suddenly, the coach may
    tilt to the side of ruptured bellow leading to an
    5
    9
    imbalance in the coach itself.
    • However, travelling at high speed say at 160 Kmph with
    a coach tilted towards one side is a dangerous
    condition considering the passenger safety and should
    be brought to the notice of Loco pilot for him to take
    appropriate precaution during the remaining journey.

    • Since entire air suspension system is purely pneumatic


    there is no means to send a signal to the driver who
    sits in the locomotive other than heavy leakage in Feed
    pipe.
    • Safety device is provided in the system over-come such
    dangerous tilt to one corner. 6

    • Hence a need is felt to actuate an automatic service brake
    application in the train so that the driver will get down to
    investigate the cause of such service braking which has not
    been initiated by him.
    • There should also be a system to identify the defective coach
    carrying the defective bellows by means of an audio and
    visual indication to facilitate easy location of the defective
    equipment.
    • Once the defect is located the Loco Pilot will have the facility
    to isolate the defective equipment by closing the supply of
    compressed air to AIR SPRING/defective equipment and also
    to manually reset the service brake so that the train journey
    6

    can be resumed preferably at a CAUTIOUS SPEED.

    FAILURE INDICATION CUM BRAKE APPLICATION DEVICE
    Main Features & Functions
    ❖ One equipment per Bogie is
    required.
    ❖The equipment is purely
    pneumatic system.
    ❖ Have one sensor valve for each
    bellow on the bogie.
    ❖Drops the brake pipe pressure
    resulting in brake application.
    ❖ It is capable of sensing the
    rupture and rapid exhaust of
    compressed air from any one
    bellow or both bellows in a bogie.
    Main Features & Functions
    ❖As soon as pressure depletion is detected below 1 +/- 0.1
    kg/cm2 in any one of two bellows or in both the bellows in the
    same bogie, the equipment initiates an exhausting of Brake pipe
    pressure.

    ❖ Provides audio (hissing sound) and visual indication (indicators


    on both side) to indicating bellow burst in a particular bogie.

    ❖ Isolating cock provided in the system to reset the equipment /


    stop BP exhaust. It enable to resume the journey at a lower
    cautions speed up to the destination.

    ❖The performance of the equipment is identical either for an


    empty coach with the lowest level of the bellow or for a coach
    loaded to its full capacity with the maximum bellow pressure.
