As low-carbon green growth is emerging as the paradigm of the new national development worldwide, KORAIL(Korea Railroad Corporation) has reduced diesel fuel in a variety of ways for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions like CO2.
But so far the former methods have some limits that its effects are different according to driver's habits and complex environments. Therefore technical development is urgently required to reduce fuel consumption of diesel locomotives.
After we has studied how to reduce fuel consumption safely and eco-friendly at the current technology level, we would like to certify Additives(fuel, fuel and oil) certified or used in cars at home and abroad before to locomotives.
But there are no additive cases for locomotives at home and aborad, so this study for locomotives test was perform to prove fuel economy and locomotive safety with the objective and scientific test methods(run, stop the test).
Even though based on the short-term test result which does not include the data from long period use,
this study found fuel saving effect by using additives depending differences by train(product), driver, (round trip)route, number of stops, average fuel use per kilometer.
