Think you'll find it's not broken it's just cold, if people stuck to the policy of running them for a couple of hours every day or so when it gets that cold they start up no problems, but leave it for a week or so and it will let you down, a little bit of pre- planning goes a long way.

@@demil3618 dare say it could be done but was never deemed necessary, if they are run up for an hour or so every 24 - 48 hrs they will start happily down to minus 7 degrees c. Under normal circumstances they should always be warm from their last job , Only the likes of DB leave them chilling for a week then wonder why the music won't start. 66 s by the way have to be run every 24 hrs otherwise a period of " pre lube ing " is required because someone neglected to fit lube oil priming pumps to the power units

Have you ever seen or tried to start an EE loco in those temperatures, that should be banned under the Geneva convention ! Greta would be jumping up and down as well !
@moelSiabod143343 ай бұрын
I personally have started these loco's in temperatures down to minus 15, only if they have been running in the previous 48 hrs, if the thing was hot when shutdown , it will take 24 hrs to cool down , it may be cool to the touch after a day or so but it will start, its only when you have ice growing on the outside of the cylinder liners that bringing it indoors to defrost a bit helps.

@beeble20033 ай бұрын
First, it's a 145-litre engine, which is a big hunk of metal. Second, diesel engines have no spark plugs: they work purely by compressing the fuel-air mix until it becomes so hot that it self-ignites. When the engine itself is cold, a lot of the energy from compressing the fuel and air goes into heating up the engine block, rather than raising the temperature of the fuel, so the fuel doesn't get hot enough to ignite. You see this unburnt pouring out of the exhaust. The engine can't start until the engine block has warmed up enough to allow enough heat to stay in the fuel. Diesel engines that are designed to run in cold places typically have block heaters (heating elements in the engine block to warm it up) or glow plugs (essentially, heating elements in the cylinders). The UK doesn't get particularly cold, so we don't tend to install this extra equipment. It's only needed a few days each year, and the cost of not having it is just that the engine takes a bit longer to start on those days.

@moelSiabod14334 Жыл бұрын
He didn't try very hard then, if it ran on 4 it would have picked the other 4 up with a little help on the fuel pumps, and no auxiliaries is more than likely because the engine had not picked up enough RPM. If it was below tickover they would not have cut in yet, all part of the wizardry of the beast.shame such thing was let down by someone not doing the job correctly .

Doubt very much that it's worn out ! Looks like it's been left out in the cold to long, it should have been running for 2 hrs in every 24 to keep it warm ish. There is no preheat or cold start fitted on them, all that is required is a little forward planning that's why the twenty's are running else they would be in the same predicament !
