ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would since rely like to thank the employees and the officers of TKD, TUGALKABAD for their
help and support during the vocational training. Despite their busy schedules, they took time out for
us
And explained to us the various aspects of the working of the plant from the production shops.
I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Sudhir (CWI /TTC) and JANARDAN PRASAD(JE/HWS), Mr.
Vipin Srivastava (JE/HWS), Mr. Arvind Kumar(JE/HMS), Er. OM KANT (SSE/HMS) who was
instrumental in arranging the vocational training at TKD, NEW DELHI , an without whose help and
guidance the training could not have materialize.
ABSTRACT
The objectives of
the
practical
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 fara way from theoretical one. We learn in class room
can give the
practical exposerreal
the personality of the student ,but the practical exposure in the field will help the
student in long run of life and will be able to implement the theoretical knowledge.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTIONOFINDIAN RAILWAY
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 tones 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 kilometers (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
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.

ROTOR SHOP
This shop is deals with the manufacturing of Turbocharger.
Turbocharger is known as the Heart of Diesel Locomotive. Basically in this
section manufacturing of assembly & sub assembly of Turbocharger is made. But
the outer casing of Turbocharger is made up in Heavy Machine Shop.
Turbocharger is use for the providing fresh air to the engine. Due to
this the efficiency & power generated by engine is increased. For the running of
Turbocharger, we are not using any extra energy source like generator, motor etc.
For starting of Turbocharger generally we use exhaust gasses.
COMPONENTS OF TURBOCHARGER
For assembly of Turbojet following parts are manufactures in rotor

3. CASING
Casing is made of M.S. & also a special type of coating is done. Due
to that coating it can easily resist the heat.
For the proper working & life of Turbocharger balancing of impeller, inducer &
turbine disc is done by help of Dynamics Balancing Machine.

PRINCIPLE
The exhaust gas discharge from all the cylinders accumulate in the common
exhaust manifold at the end of which, turbo- supercharger is fitted. The gas under pressure there
after enters the turbo- supercharger through the torpedo shaped bell mouth connector and then
passes through the fixed nozzle ring. Then it is directed on the turbine blades at increased
pressure and at the most suitable angle to achieve rotary motion of the turbine at maximum
efficiency. After rotating the turbine, the exhaust gas goes out to the atmosphere through the
exhaust chimney.
The turbine has a centrifugal blower mounted at the other end of the same shaft
and the rotation of the turbine drives the blower at the same speed. The blower connected to the
atmosphere through a set of oil bath filters, sucks air from atmosphere, and delivers at higher
velocity. The air then passes through the diffuser inside the turbo- supercharger, where the
velocity is diffused to increase the pressure of air before it is delivered from the turbosupercharger
Pressurizing air increases its density, but due to compression heat develops. It
causes expansion and reduces the density. This effects supply of high-density air to the engine.
To take care of this, air is passed through a heat exchanger known as after cooler. The after
cooler is a radiator, where cooling water of lower temperature is circulated through the tubes
and around the tubes air passes. The heat in the air is thus transferred to the cooling water and
air regains its lost density. From the after cooler air goes to a common inlet manifold connected
to each cylinder head. In the suction stroke as soon as the inlet valve opens the booster air of
higher pressure density rushes into the cylinder completing the process of super charging.
The engine initially starts as naturally aspirated engine. With the increased
quantity of fuel injection increases the exhaust gas pressure on the turbine. Thus the selfadjusting system maintains a proper air and fuel ratio under all speed and load conditions of the
engine on its own. The maximum rotational speed of the turbine is 18000/22000 rpm for the
Turbo supercharger and creates max. Of 1.8 kg/cm2 air pressure in air manifold of diesel engine,
known as Booster Air Pressure (BAP). Low booster pressure causes black smoke due to
incomplete combustion of fuel. High exhaust gas temperature due to after burning of fuel may
result in considerable damage to the turbo supercharger and other component in the engine.
EXPRESSOR
WORKING OF EXHAUSTER
Air from vacuum train pipe is drawn into the exhauster cylinders
through the open inlet valves in the cylinder heads during its suction stroke.
Each of the exhauster cylinders has one or two inlet valves and two
discharge valves in the cylinder head. A study of the inlet and discharge
valves as given in a separate diagram would indicate that individual
components like
(1) plate valve outer
(2) plate valve inner
(3) spring outer
COMPRESSOR
The compressor is a two stage compressor with one low
pressure cylinder and one high pressure cylinder. During thefirst stage of
compression it is done in the low pressurecylinder where suction is through
a wire mesh filter. After compression in the LP cylinder air is delivered into
the discharge manifold at a pressure of 30 / 35 PSI.
Workings of the inlet and exhaust valves are similar to that of
exhauster which automatically open or close under differential air pressure.
For inter-cooling air is then passed through a radiator known as inter-cooler.
This is an air to air cooler where compressed air passes through the element
tubes and cool atmospheric air is blown on the outside fins by a fan fitted on
the expressor crank shaft.
A safety valve known as inter cooler safety valve set at 60 PSI is
provided after the inter cooler as a protection against high pressure
developing in the after cooler due to defect of valves.
After the first stage of compression and after-cooling the air is again
compressed in a cylinder of smaller diameter to increase the pressure to
135-140 PSI in the same way. This is the second stage of compression in the
HP cylinder. Air again needs cooling before it is finally sent to the air
reservoir and this is done while the air passes through a set of coiled tubes
after cooler.
