1. Introduction:

ICF started manufacturing DEMU coaches during the year 1992-93.The initial DPC coaches were provided with side mounted radiator (SMR)type of design. Subsequently ICF started manufacturing DPCs with roofmounted radiator <RMR) type of design. From 2000 onwards ICF revertedback to the SMR type of design. At present 18 nOs of DEMU/DPC coacheswith RMR type of design are operating on N.Rly. It is observed that RMRtype coaches are developing cracks in the body side panels, door cornersand solebar. The panels are also opening from the joints and collapsing.Distortion noticed in the coach body, panel filters and in the partition wall.Loss of camber also noticed in the solebar.

2. Salient Design Features

> Side Mounted Radiator (SMR):

Two nos. of radiators are provided in both the sidewall of theRadiator room. The sidewall has been cut to suitable size 0300 X 1000)and louvers provided. The cut portion of the sidewall has been providedwith proper framework. Proper support and mounting blocks are providedfor the fitment of the radiators. The framework and the radiator frame is

.contributing additional strengthening of the sidewall.The roof portion above the radiator Fan has been cut with a circular

opening of 1250 mm in diameter. The area around the circular cut hasbeen provided with framework as per ICF drawing no. DMU/DPC-1-6­006.

> Roof Mounted Radiator (RlMR):

Two no. radiators mounted on the roof are provided. This area ofthe roof has been dished for a length of 3300 mm.

The sidewall has been cut to suitable size 0300 X 1000) andlouvers provided. The cut portion of the sidewall has been provided withproper framework. No additional support has been provided in the cut outportion. The additional static load of the radiators in the roof along withthe dynamic/vibrational interference of the radiator fan (provided in theRMR itself) and the engine may create a resonance and cause detachmentof the i) side wall/pillar ii) pillar/cant rail joints in the long run leading tosubsequent failure.

3. Remedial Procedure

To avoid the failure of the shell structures, one of the solutions is toconvert the DPC from RMR type of design to SMR type design. The stepsto be followed for converting the same are as follows.

\. Placement of the shell in a proper support.ii. Checking camber of the solebar

iii. Stripping of the equipments.iv. Stripping of the relevant panels and furnishings.v. Inspection of under frame & solebar for

crack/damage/corrosionvi. Replacement of damaged solebar

vii. Replacement of damaged cantrail.viii. Re-cambering of the under frame Cif needed).ix. Welding of carlines in the dished roof portion.x. Welding of roof sheet in the dished roof portion.xi. Welding of supports and mounting brackets in both the side

wall for fitment of radiator.xii. Fitment of radiator fan, fitment of water connections pipes in

the radiators.Xlll. Re-fitment of stripped equipments.

i. Placement of the shell in a proper support.

:l> Bring the coach inside shed area:l> Run out the bogies.~ Keep trestles of equal heights below the body bolsters on level

ground and place the shell above it.:l> Keep trestles of equal heights also below the solebar at lifting

pad location.:l> For checking and repairing the camber, the coach shall be rigidly

connected with the rail at four locations of (two on either side)the bottom of body bolster.

ii. Checking camber of the salebar.

~ Check the camber of the underframe/sotebar.:l> For measuring camber refer annexure-J:l> Record the camber measurement in a register.

ANNEXURE-I

RECAMBERING OF DEMU COACHES

I. Introduction:Northern Railway has reported the loss of camber on 700HP DEMUpower car along with other failures. It is suggested that theavailable camber under tare condition on the DEMU!DPC coaches bemeasured before undertaking heavy repairs and in case the negativecamber at the center of the coach exceeds lOmm, Recambering ofthe coach should be under taken simultaneously along with heavyrepairs. The method indicated applies equally to other types ofDEMU coaches as well.

II Method of Measurement of Camber:i) Camber on a coach can be measured either with its bogies in

position or if bogies have been removed, then by placingtrestles of equal height on level ground below 1ehe bodybolsters to ensure that the two trestles bear equal weight ofthe coach body.

iD Plates of equal height having a slot as shown in fig (a) ofsketch no.CG-K7125 are welded vertically on the bottom ofthe sole bar at the location of the centerline of the bodybolster. A piano wire of requisite length with its two endssecured to 1000101 long hexagonal head screws M 10provided with wing and check nuts alongwith washers is thenplaced in position as shown in fig (b) of sketch no.CG-K7125and the height of the screw is so adjusted with the stringadequately tightened that the distance between the top of thestring and the bottom of the body bolster is the same for boththe body bolsters, Let this distance be 'x', The sl~ring is thenfinally tightened by rotating the wing nuts without disturbingthe position of the string vertically so that the string is tautand straight. The vertical distance between the bottom of thesale bar to the top of the string at the coach center is thenmeasured (Jet this distance be 'y'), The camber of theunderfrarne can then be calculated as y-x as shown in sketchno.CG-K7125. in case the bottom of the sole bar is not at thesame level as the bottom of the body bolster (at the locationwhere body bolster is fitted. in case of the 700 hp DMUIDPC

Page 13: PROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF DEMU COACHES PROVIDED · PDF filePROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF DEMU COACHES PROVIDED WITH ROOF MOUNTED ... the camber, the coach ... of the coach body through

Ref: CGW 0001 Date I Month of IPage 130f16 No.RDSO/2007/CG/CMJ-0 1(Rev.4l Issue: Nov 2007

the level of difference between the bottom of body bolsterand bottom of solebar is 77 mm ), due cognizance ha"s to begiven to this fact and the extent of the camber calculatedabove has to be suitably adjusted to arrive at the properfigure. Hence in case of DMU/DPC the proper camber in thecentre of underframe shall be y-(x -77) after takingcognizance of 77 mm in height difference between bottom ofsole bar and bottom of body bolster at the location of joint.Where the level of solebar and body bolster bottom at thejoint is same the camber shall be y-x.

Ill. Recambering Procedure:j) Take the initial camber readings under tare conditionfollowing the procedures indicated above. Run out bogies if thesehave not been fun out already and support the coach body on levelground by placing trestles of equal height under both the bodybolsters.

jj) Support both the headstocks of the coach body by placingsturdy \vooden props at the center of the headstock between theground and the bottom of the headstock.

iii) Place channels across the track below both the body bolstersand weld the same to the track. A pipe of 50mm dia. bore or moreis then placed vertically between the top of the channel and thebottom of the body bolster at four locations and the pipe is weldedboth to the body bolster and the channel as shown in sketchno.CG-K7126.

iv) Four jacks are then placed on the extremities of the crossmembers on either side of the transverse center line of the coachand a fifth jack is placed at the center of the underframe crossmember (coinciding with the transverse center line of the coach) asshown in sketch no.CG-K7127. The required positive camber isthen set by lifting the underframe simultaneously with the help ofthe five jacks. The provision of props and clamps as indicated insketch no.CG-K7126 would ensure that the level of the underframeat the headstock portion as well as the body bolster portion remainsundisturbed during this process. As lifting of the underframe aloneby means of jacks is likely to induce extra stresses in the roofportion and may result in buckling of the pillars, especially at the

Page 14: PROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF DEMU COACHES PROVIDED · PDF filePROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF DEMU COACHES PROVIDED WITH ROOF MOUNTED ... the camber, the coach ... of the coach body through

Ref: CGW 000 I Date / Month of Page 140fl6 NO.RDSO/2007/CG/C(RevAl Issue: Nov 2007

portion where these are corroded/parted, it would be necessary tosupport the doorways/cantrail and lift the roof simultaneously alongwith the underframe by means of wooden beams placed across thedoorways/cantraiJ below which fOUf jacks supported on trestles ofsuitable height have been arranged. These fouf jacks should besimultaneously lifted alongwith the five jacks meant to lift theunderframe. The arrangement of supporting and lifting the roof atthe doorways/cantrail is indicated in sketch no.CG-K712'7. Thecamber at the center of the coach is measured during the process oflifting of the underframe/roof till a positive camber of about 30mmin the case of power car and about 20mm in the case of trailercoach is achieved with jacks in position. In case the initial negativecamber of the coach under tare is rather high, it may be necessaryto set the camber on the power/trailer coaches to a figure higherthan 30/20mm. The exact camber to which the coach is set withjacks in position should be recorded at various places as indicatedin sketch no.CG-K7128.

v) With all the jacks In positIOn, heat treatment of theunderframe is to be carried out as follows:

a) Mark tdangular areas on the sole bars as indicated infig Ca) of sketch no.CG-K7129 at locations A, B. C, D and E.

b) Using the oxy-acetylene torch Cneutral flame), heat thebottom flange of the sole bar at location A till it becomes redhot. Shift the flame slowly to the web of the sole bar andstart heating the triangular area starting from the base of thetriangle and slowly going up. The flame should at intervals beapplied to the flange of the sole bar at the marked portion toavoid its becoming cold. When the triangular portion on theweb of the sale bar and the rectangular portion at the flangeof the sale bar at location A are red hot, further heatingshould be stopped. This area should be allowed to cool in air.Immediately after this area has been heat-treated, heattreatment should be done at locations B, C, D, and E. It isnecessary that both the sole bars are heat treatedsimultaneously at the same location.

c) After the heat treatment of the solebar is over, the heattreatment for the longitudinals provided below the engine

Page 15: PROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF DEMU COACHES PROVIDED · PDF filePROCEDURE FOR CONVERSION OF DEMU COACHES PROVIDED WITH ROOF MOUNTED ... the camber, the coach ... of the coach body through

Ref: COW 000 I Date I Month of Page 15 of 16 No.RDSO/2007/CO/CMI-OI(RevA) Issue: Nov 2007

room for supporting the engine should be taken up startingfrom both the inner longitudinals subsequently to both theouter longitudinals.

Note:-

(i) The heating zones indicated in sketch no.CG-K7129and position of jacks indicated in sketch no.CG-K7126 are forguidance. Suitable heating zones and locations of jacks maybe decided for other types of DEMU stock ensuring thatheating is done on the 50\e bars midway between crossmembers.

OJ) The temperature to which the sale bars are to beheated will depend upon the loss of camber on the coach.The higher the camber loss, the higher will be thetemperature. The temperature could vary between dull redheat to red heat depending upon the extent of loss of camber.

(vi) Check the camber at various locations after heattreatment. This camber would in the normal course be morethan the camber to which the coach body was set earlier withthe help of jacks (Para 3 (iv)).

(vii) Release the five jacks supporting the underframesimultaneously with the four jacks supporting the coach roof.Remove the wooden props below the headstocks and measurethe cambers at various locations along the length of the solebar. If this camber is of the order of + 30mm for power coachand + 20mm for trailer coach, no further heat treatment isnecessary. If this camber happens to be. less, then furtherheat treatment at places adjacent to the places where the heattreatment had earlier been given would be required after thejacks are set suitably to conform to the earlier setting as perpara 3 (vi).
