SPECIFICATION FOR
UP-GRADATION OF HHP LOCOMOTIVES

1. Introduction
DLW has produced approximately 1300 Nos. of HHP locomotives
(WDG4/WDP4/WDP4B/WDP4D/WDG4D) since 1998 and these locomotives are being
manufactured with AC-AC traction equipment and control system along with features provided by
M/s EMD under ToT during 1995-96.
In the last 15-20 years, lot of new engineering concepts evolved by the world leaders like M/s GE
and M/s EMD in the high horse power low speed diesel engine locomotives. All the latest
generation locomotives in the world are built with new features like Inverter driven Auxiliaries,
separate After cooling, low lube oil consumption power assemblies, Modular integrated control
cabinet system (E-locker), Electronic Fuel Injection (EUI) etc.
There is need to bridge the gap between the HHP locomotives currently built in DLW and the state
of art locomotive produced by leading Diesel loco builders of the world to achieve better fuel
economy and improved reliability.
2. Proposed up-gradation of the HHP locomotive & benefits for the IR
RDSO studied the latest new engine technology and proven out concepts available worldwide and
had deliberations with M/s EMD, the original ToT partner of HHP locomotives to evolve the up
gradation of the HHP locomotives built at DLW. Accordingly, a proposal for adapting advance and
upgraded features as given below for achieving fuel economy, emissions & energy management
for traction application.

• Inverter Driven Blowers
cooling Fans
1. Inverters driven Auxiliaries will reduce the
parasitic load and help in improve the Traction
Specific Fuel consumption. This will improve the
fuel economy of the locomotive by 2%
& approx.(dependent on duty cycle and
maintenance)
2. The E-Locker will replace the complex Five
(ECC1, 2, 3 and 2-TCCs) cabinet system of
current Dual Cab locomotive. This creates more
space and will save manufacturing/Integration
work of DLW.
3. The number of components will be reduced,
which will improve the reliability and availability of
the locomotive.
4. The APC will increase the capacity of the
Auxiliary systems by 80% approx. which provides
capacity for additional auxiliary equipment (for
future).

¾ Engine Improvements: 1. The combustion of EUI and separate after

cooling will improve the fuel economy by 2%

• Separate After Cooling maintenance)

• Low Lube Oil consuming Power 2. The Emission level of Tier-1 can achieve easily
assemblies with optimum fuel economy.
• High efficiency Hybrid air 3. The Emission level up to Tier-3 can be
filtration achievable with minor fuel penalty.
4. Lube oil Consumption will reduce by 50% approx.
5. Compliance for desert and mines application.

¾ CAB As per 49 CFR to comply future noise norms of India

• NVH standard

¾ Condition Monitoring System for Provision of on board condition monitoring and fault
improving reliability (RAMS) diagnostics system with Video recording in CAB to
help investigation and ensuring system health.

This specification intends to specify the requirements for adapting advance and upgraded features
as mentioned above will enable HHP locomotive (WDG4D/WDP4D) more fuel economy, emissions
& energy management for traction application.
3. Design and details of modifications
Existing design of WDP4D/ WDG4D locomotive shall be suitably modified to accommodate items
of up-gradation kit with a new General Arrangement, duly incorporating the proposed changes.

NOTE :
¾ Values of trailing tonnages given in the chart are the maximum permissible values. Values are applicable for straight track
only. On a curved section actual permissible load will be less than the values specified above. Actual permissible loads should be
fixed based on load trial.
¾ Trailing loads fixed by load trail should be confirmed by load factor trial also and the loads recommended should be such
that the load factor does not exceed 60%.
