Abstract

The engine is the heart of any hardware which may relate to various applications like Vehicles, Railway, etc. The rail application is the application where the engine will work as a main unit of the system. Cummins India Limited is the company which provides the diesel engine to various applications. The diesel engine to rail application is one of the new trends in Cummins. The modification to the railway engine and their system may give better facility to the engine. The engine is of a various type depending on their fuel consumption. The engine is classified into two types depending on which fuel is used for the engine, they are gasoline and diesel engine. The engine is further classified into two types depending on the combustion taking place in the engine, they are internal and external combustion engine. In the rail application, the diesel engine is selected because it has some advantages over the gasoline engine, where the diesel engine falls under the internal combustion type of engine. The rail application with the diesel engine further provided with the engine safety parameters will give the better rail application system. The existing system for the railway has some drawbacks which are explained in this paper and what provision necessary to be taken to provide the best system for the rail application is explained here. The existing system for the rail application consists of the display panel, the drawbacks of the existing panel, and need for the new digital display panel is also explain here.
