In March 2006, Aurizon awarded a contract for the supply of 45 Class 3800 narrow gauge electric locomotives. [1] In August 2007, the order was increased to 45. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In July 2010, these passed into the ownership of Aurizon .
A more powerful turbocharged version of the engine was used by Offenhauser in 1968, and gave Bobby Unser the win that year. The engine made 750 hp (560 kW) @ 9,500 rpm, from a displacement of only 168 cu in (2,750 cc). [10] Outputs over 1,000 bhp (750 kW) could be attained, using around 44.3 psi (3.05 bar) of boost pressure.
These units were capable of 5,800 hp (4,300 kW) but had been rated at 4,600 hp (3,400 kW) and classified as CW46AHs. [citation needed] Union Pacific also had their 16-7HDL AC6000's repowered with FDL-16's, creating an entire fleet of 4,400-hp AC6000CWs. [4] Beginning in 2018, Union Pacific had begun sending its AC6000CWs to GE for rebuilding.
The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase electric motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field . [ 2 ]
As blast furnaces re-equipped after World War II, the favoured power source was either the diesel engine or the electric motor. These both had a rotary output, which worked well with contemporary developments in centrifugal fans capable of handling the huge volumes of air. Although the reciprocating steam blowing engine continued where it was ...
The Centaurus was the final development of the Bristol Engine Company's series of sleeve valve radial aircraft engines.The Centaurus is an 18-cylinder, two-row design that eventually delivered over 3,000 hp (2,200 kW).
