RAIL CONNECT

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Refuel International Rail Connect System is an innovative in-line refuelling solution designed for diesel-powered trains, allowing them to travel long distances without stopping for refuelling. It involves a flatcar with bulk diesel fuel tanks connected to locomotives, providing continuous in-transit refuelling.

System Components:

Locomotive Fuel Tank Control Box: Indicates fuel levels with high and low probe indicator lights and includes a manual override button.
Bulk Fuel Tank Set: Consists of one or two bulk tanks with level gauging and a central refuelling module with a pumping system and control box.

Operation: The system is semi-automatic, requiring minimal human intervention. It starts with a button press on the central control panel. Fuel delivery begins with gravity feed and switches to pumped supply if needed, doubling the delivery rate. A pressure test is conducted every 10 minutes to ensure system integrity.

Fuel Delivery Cycle: The system alternates between gravity-feed and pumped supply, ensuring continuous fuel availability for multiple locomotives.

Features and Benefits:

Continuous fuel transfer eliminates the need for refuelling stops.
Balances load between two bulk tanks to prevent imbalance.
Enhances operational efficiency and reduces trip costs.
Fail-safe technology prevents refuelling if leaks are detected.
Uses "dry break" couplings for all fuel connections.
Automatic pressure tests ensure fuel line integrity before refuelling.
Rapid return on investment, becoming standard on long-haul locomotives.

long haul - non stop Refuel International Rail Connect System (In-line Refuelling) is designed to allow diesel-powered trains to travel long distances without having to stop to refuel. A flatcar with two bulk diesel fuel tanks, one of which has a pumping module underneath, is connected to the diesel locomotive(s), providing constant in-transit refuelling of the locomotives. It is a revolutionary fuelling system that continuously refuels the locomotive day tanks during long haul operations. The system is designed so that a locomotive can be coupled to either or both ends of the inline fuelling...
