ii. Reason for change:

The unburnt fuel was mixed in the oil sump because of excessive idling of engine as per the

operating conditions. The new camshaft key will increase the timing and therefore resolve

the issue.

iii. Implemented from:

As agreed in DEMU coordination meeting these modifications will be carried out in the

identified engines as and when they are received for E check.

iv. Part Numbers involved in change:

Old Camshaft woodruff Key P/N: 3021600 will be changed to new Camshaft Woodruff Key -

P/N: 3065975.

v. Implication of engines in Service:

Number of engines running with this issue identified 14 numbers, the injection timing to be

set between 0.049”and 0.054” by using of above key P/n: 3065975 will be replaced during E

check (engine overhauling).

Action Progress:

1. As agreed in the DEMU Coordination meeting, Camshaft Key is being replaced on all V-

28 engines (700 HP DEMU) at Cummins rebuild center on all engines arriving for E

check.

2. Failure of radiator motors: SPART

After rampant failures of radiator fan motor due to water ingress, M/s SAN Engineering,

Bangalore (Prime contractor for SPART DPC equipment) has investigated the issue with the

engine supplier CIL. Decision was taken in Sept.2014 to replace the motors with better protection

class. SAN started replacing the existing ABB make motor (IP55) with IEC make (IP56). The firm

has so far replaced 8 motors in two rakes, while replacement is required in the first 22 rakes. It

is seen that abnormal time is taken for replacement.

Action Progress:

As agreed in the DEMU Coordination meeting the Status update on the Fan motor

replacement is attached. 79 out of total 88 Motors have been replaced.

Repeat failure of IEC motors observed at SECR Gondia and ER Jamalpur. Motor replacement

and Step-3 containment action completed at SECR Gondia. Same is to be done on all motors

after validation.
