  Mechanical Department - Kalyan Diesel Shed

 

Diesel Loco Shed, Kalyan was inaugurated on 31st January 1987. It was initially planned to home WDS6 Diesel Electric locos only in this shed. During the year 1993-94, the pattern of holding changed with the inclusion of 2 WDM2 locomotives. Later more WDM2 locomotives were introduced, The shed has progressed a lot since then and it now holds technologically advanced high horsepower locomotives. 

At present 95 locos are homed in the shed with majority of 37 WDG3A locomotives. In addition shed also homes 21 WDM3D, 12 WDG4, 11 WDG4D and 14 WDP4D locomotives. The types of locomotives and their horsepower and other technical features are tabulated below:

Kalyan Diesel shed has achieved the distinction of being one of very few diesel sheds homing 100% population of locomotives fitted with microprocessor control system. 

TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS		 
 

Many technological inputs are being provided to improve the reliability and availability of diesel locomotives. These include Microprocessor based control systems (MEP), microprocessor based governors (MCBG), vigilance control device (VCD) and remote sensing (REMMLOT).

All 95 locomotives have been provided with Microprocessor Controlled Systems (MEP) and 75 locomotives have also been provided with REMMLOT, which enables access to microprocessor control system data of locomotive through internet by GSM/CDMA/GPS.




Microprocessor Based Loco Control System (MEP 660) 
 

This system has been fitted in 100% (95 out of 95) of locomotives in Diesel shed, Kalyan. Microprocessor system is designed to eliminate the drawbacks in conventional E type excitation and propulsion control system. It is built with an on line fault diagnostic system, which continuously monitors operating levels of parameters of various equipment on locomotive and identifies any abnormal conditions of working of any equipment, indicating a fault in that equipment

 
 

Vigilance Control Device (VCD) 
 

100% of Diesel Locomotives (95 out of 95) are equipped with vigilance control to enhance the safety of the locomotive operation. The vigilance control device acts very smart and recognizes the normal loco operation performed by the driver. If no such operations are performed within set time limit, it then applies the emergency penalty brakes and brings the loco to idle position.

 
   
 


Remote Monitoring & Management of Locomotives and Trains (REMMLOT) 
 

REMMLOT system has in-built GPS capability. This system wirelessly transfers the fault diagnostic and locomotive health monitoring data at regular intervals to a secure password protected web server accessible to IR personnel. An interface is also provided to acquire the GPS location data of locomotives / trains. Diesel Loco Shed, Kalyan has 75 loco with this feature.
