BS EN 15427:2008+A1:2010EN 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: l
26、ubrication of the wheel flange / rail gauge corner interface, commonly referred 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
27、the wheel flange / rail gauge corner only. It describes systems fitted on 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 f
28、riction is managed effectively, noise levels, energy consumption and the 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 lubricatio
29、n such that there is no: loss of traction or braking performance; adverse 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.

31、 includes both trainborne and trackside solutions. This document defines: the 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
32、the lubrication of the wheel-rail interface. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

It is generally used to apply lubricant to the wheel. The most effective use of lubricant is a
41、chieved by installation of lubricating equipment on wheelsets close to the leading 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 precl
42、ude this. The area of implementation and the lubrication system shall be defined and 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 conta
43、mination of any other part of the train or infrastructure. Build up of excess lubricant 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 a
44、ny piece of debris should be kept to a minimum. NOTE It is suggested that the mass of any piece of debris should be no greater than 5 g. BS EN 15427:2008+A1:2010EN 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
45、 into account as a minimum: ambient temperature range and climatic conditions (see EN 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
46、lubricant; compatibility between different lubricants used by the Railway Undertaking; 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
47、is given in Annex A. A list of reasons for fitting trainborne equipment is given in C.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
48、 4.5), at all conditions within the trains operational limits, and the need to gain access 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
49、 the position on the vehicle. 4.3.3 The design shall: incorporate a stated fatigue load 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 turbul
