DIN EN 15427:2011-01 EN 15427:2008+A1:2010 (E) 4 Introduction Friction management using solid or fluid (oil, grease, etc) substances at the wheel-rail interface is a complex subject and includes: lubrication of the wheel flange / rail gauge corner interface, commonly re
25、ferred to as “flange or rail lubrication”; friction modification of the top of rail / wheel tread interface, commonly referred to as “top of rail friction management”. This document sets out requirements for the lubrication of the wheel flange / rail gauge corner only. It describes systems fitted on
26、 board trains and on the track, as both systems may need to be employed to achieve effective lubrication of the wheel-rail interface. Managing the wheel-rail interface effectively will reduce wear of both wheel and rail. When friction is managed effectively, noise levels, energy consumption and the
27、risk of flange climbing are reduced. Conversely where not managed effectively, assets may require replacement prematurely before reaching their full economic potential. There needs to be control in the application of lubrication such that there is no: loss of traction or braking performance; adverse
28、 effect on signalling systems or track circuits; intolerable increased risk of fire; harmful environmental effect; incompatibility between the different lubricants in use, particularly, between solid and fluid systems. DIN EN 15427:2011-01 EN 15427:2008+A1:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This document is limited
29、 to specifying the requirements when applying lubricants to the wheel-rail interface between the wheel flange and the rail gauge corner (active interface) either directly or indirectly to the wheel flange or to the rail, and includes both trainborne and trackside solutions. This document defines: th
30、e characteristics that systems of lubrication of the wheel-rail interface shall achieve, together with applicable inspection and test methods to be carried out for verification; all relevant terminology which is specific to the lubrication of the wheel-rail interface. 2 Normative references The foll

39、.1 General 4.1.1 The trainborne equipment shall apply lubricant to take effect in the active interface as described in 4.5. It is generally used to apply lubricant to the wheel. The most effective use of lubricant is achieved by installation of lubricating equipment on wheelsets close to the leading
40、 end of a train. This ensures that all the subsequent active interfaces between train wheels and rails are lubricated. The optimum position for this equipment is on the leading wheelset, but space limitations may preclude this. The area of implementation and the lubrication system shall be defined a
41、nd agreed by the customer. NOTE If required, further wheelsets may be equipped with trainborne equipment. 4.1.2 The trainborne equipment shall be designed to optimize lubrication of the active interface and limit contamination of any other part of the train or infrastructure. Build up of excess lubr
42、icant on the train should be avoided to reduce the risk of fire. 4.1.3 Solid lubricants that are used in the form of, for example stick application on to the flange, may eject part of the stick as debris. The size of any piece of debris should be kept to a minimum. NOTE It is suggested that the mass
43、 of any piece of debris should be no greater than 5 g. DIN EN 15427:2011-01 EN 15427:2008+A1:2010 (E) 8 4.2 Selection of trainborne equipment 4.2.1 In selecting the trainborne equipment, the following shall be taken into account as a minimum: ambient temperature range and climatic conditions (see EN
44、 50125-1); equipment positioning; space constraints; availability of pneumatic and electrical supplies; speed; options for system control and lubricant regulation; interface with other on-board systems; the type of lubricant; compatibility between different lubricants used by the Railway Undertaking
45、; total life cycle cost and maintainability. 4.2.2 A technical file shall be compiled setting out verification criteria and compliance. 4.2.3 A description of types of Lubricant Application Unit currently available is given in Annex A. A list of reasons for fitting trainborne equipment is given in C
46、.1. 4.3 Design of trainborne equipment 4.3.1 The position and alignment of each Lubricant Application Unit shall take into account suspension movements to ensure application of lubricant to the active interface (see 4.5), at all conditions within the trains operational limits, and the need to gain a
47、ccess for maintenance. See C.2 for some positioning and alignment information. 4.3.2 The trainborne equipment shall be designed to meet the vibration and shock loads requirements of EN 61373 and EN 13749 relevant to the position on the vehicle. 4.3.3 The design shall: incorporate a stated fatigue lo
48、ad case appropriate for the intended service life of the equipment; provide protection to the equipment from flying objects e.g. track ballast and snow and ice; ensure the security of fixing against vibration. NOTE Account should be taken of the effects of turbulence of surrounding airflow at servic
49、e speeds on the performance of the application system. 4.3.4 The Lubricant Application Unit shall be adjustable such that it can be returned to its correct working position (see 4.5) following wheel reprofiling or other maintenance changes. 4.3.5 The capacity of the system shall take into account the intervals between maintenance opportunities.
