Diesel four-stroke, U-shaped, 16-cylinder, with gas turbine supercharging and charge air cooler.
The 1A-9DG diesel generator consists of a 16CHN26/26 diesel engine (instead of the 10D100 diesel engine) and a synchronous generator.
The diesel generator has a number of advantages. It is easy to maintain and repair; its assembly and disassembly is carried out in units (assemblies), which ensures interchangeability. The reliability and wear resistance of diesel parts are increased thanks to the use of high-quality materials for manufacturing, rational modern methods of chemical-thermal treatment, surface hardening and high-quality coatings.
Design developments implemented on the diesel generator allowed:
Routine operation of diesel locomotives of type 2TE10 with diesel generators 1A-9DG showed a reduction in operating fuel consumption and oil consumption by several times.
The payback period is no more than 5-6 years.
