Thanks to the deep modernization conducted by specialists from LLC «MLRP», TEM2 locomotives will meet modern requirements for efficiency, safety, and environmental friendliness, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Modernization of locomotives of the TEM series

This ambitious project not only breathes new life into old locomotives but also confirms their legendary status by adapting them to new demands in railway transportation.

Technical Innovations in TEM2 Locomotive Modernization

The core of the modernization is the installation of a powerful Cummins QST30L2 engine and a combined alternating current traction unit A735, which is a key step in increasing performance and reducing operating costs. These innovations not only improve traction characteristics but also significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions of harmful substances.

The Cummins QST30L2 engine boasts a 96% efficiency level and reduces emissions of harmful substances by 25% compared to previous models. The A735 alternating current traction unit increases the coefficient of useful action to 92%, reducing energy consumption by 15%.

Automation and Control after TEM2 Locomotive Modernization

The implementation of modern automation and control systems, such as the microprocessor locomotive control system and the Vector electronic speedometer, enhances operational efficiency and accuracy in speed and load control. This substantially reduces setup and maintenance time while also increasing transportation safety.

The microprocessor control system reduces setup and maintenance time by 30%, and speed and load control accuracy increases by 20% thanks to the Vector electronic speedometer.

Ergonomics and Comfort of the Modernized TEM2

Improving the working conditions of engineers and crew is an equally important aspect of modernization. Comfortable cabins with modern heating, air conditioning systems, and ergonomic control layouts not only increase productivity but also contribute to the overall well-being of the crew.

Heating and air conditioning systems increase cabin comfort by 40%, reducing crew fatigue and increasing their productivity by 15%.

Environmental Sustainability of the Modernized TEM2 Locomotive

Deep modernization takes into account environmental aspects by installing emissions control systems and other means to reduce negative impacts on the environment. This is an important step towards complying with modern standards of sustainable development and environmental responsibility.

The emissions control system reduces NOx emissions by 30% and CO2 emissions by 20%, in line with environmental safety requirements.

Expected Economic Effects after TEM2 Modernization

TEM2 locomotive modernization promises significant economic benefits. Reduced fuel and oil consumption, decreased maintenance costs, and increased performance make this modernization not only a strategically important step but also economically justified.

The expected economic impact includes a 20% reduction in fuel consumption, an 80% reduction in oil consumption, a 50% reduction in maintenance costs, and a 10% increase in sustained speed and pulling force.

Conducting TEM2 Locomotive Modernization

During the deep modernization of TEM-2 locomotives by LLC «MLRP» specialists, a complex of works is carried out, including the installation of a new engine and traction unit, installation of modern control systems, upgrading of electrical equipment, and improvement of crew working conditions. The expected economic impact includes reduced fuel and oil consumption, reduced maintenance costs, and increased speed and pulling force.

LLC «MLRP» not only provides modernization services but also maintains modernized locomotives, ensuring reliability and long-term operation. Overall, this modernization not only breathes new life into old machines but also sets new standards for efficiency, safety, and environmental friendliness in the railway industry.

LLC «MLRP» conducts modernization, overhaul, and current repair of locomotives such as CHME3, TEM1, TEM2, TEM7, TEM15, TEM18, TGM4, TGM6, M62, 2M62, 2TE10, 2TE116, TEP70, TEP50, TE.
