Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox train

The DJF1 "Zhongyuan Star" was an electric multiple unit of China Railway. It only operated in service for less than five years, before it was removed from service due to its various flaws and high maintenance costs. The train was initially built as a six car set, and subsequently lengthened to a fourteen car set. The two driving motors and the middle two motor cars have been preserved, with the other carriages being scrapped.

History

Research

From the late 1990s onwards, with the progression of the multiple rounds of railway speed-ups, in order to fulfill passenger rail demands, various locomotive factories in China built a number of diesel and electric multiple units for Nanchang, Harbin, Shanghai, Kunming and Guangzhou bureaus. A similar event happened on 3 July 2000, with Zhengzhou bureau signing an agreement for cooperation with Zhuzhou Locomotive, Zhuzhou Institute and Qingdao Sifang, to jointly develop an EMU with a top speed of Шаблон:Cvt and using AC transmission for a total cost of Шаблон:CNY. On 18 June 2001, the Ministry of Railways and CSR held a conference on the design of alternating current, power separated EMUs, during which the design of the DJF1 was also approved.[1]

This new EMU was officially named the DJF1, where "D", "J" and "F" respectively describes the characteristics of the train: D for "电力动车组" (EMU), J for "交流传动" (AC) and F for "动力分散" (power separated).[2]

Operational tests

On 21 September 2001, the DJF1, now named the "Zhongyuan Star" was rolled out in a ribbon cutting ceremony, along with the Шаблон:Interlanguage link "Olympic Star" electric locomotive at Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive, with the deputy minister for railways, Cai Qinghua, Hunan Province deputy governor Zheng Maoqing and the manager and deputy manager of Zhengzhou bureau, Feng Lingyun and Xu Yifa in attendance.[3] After being rolled out, the DJF1 was transported to the China Academy of Railway Beijing ring railway for operational and safety tests, which it passed successfully. On 19 October 2001, it departed Beijing for Zhengzhou. Under the guidance of the ministry, Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive and Zhengzhou bureau, the DJF1 began publicly testing on the Jingguang railway from 23 October between ZhengzhouXuchangXiaoshangqiaoWuchang; However, problems relating to control logic appeared not long after entering the line for testing.[4] After a period of diagnosis, the problem was solved on the morning of the 24th. The public tests were completed on 26 October, during which it had travelled a total of Шаблон:Cvt, reaching a maximum speed of Шаблон:Cvt.[5] To fulfill the maintenance demands of the set, a 560 metre long ditch was exclusively built for the use of the DJF1 at Zhengzhou bureau, Zhengzhou sector.

On 4 November 2001, the General Secretary and President Jiang Zemin, with the accompaniment of minister for railways Fu Zhihuan, and Shijiazhuan Electric sector inspected the DJ2 and the DJF1.[6][7]

Operation

On 18 November 2001, the DJF1 was put into operation to with service T491/492, with T491 departing Zhengzhou every morning at 7:28, arriving at Wuchang at 13:37; then returning with service T492 at 14:54 and arriving back at Zhengzhou at 21:10, with stops at Xiaogan, Xinyang, Zhumadian, Luohe and Xuchang, shrinking the journey time by 3 hours.[8] In 28 December, Zhengzhou bureau changed the timetable by adding service T501/502 from Zhengzhou to Hankou to be operated by the DJF1 and stopping only one stop, at Xinyang, with service T501 departing every day at 07:43 from Zhengzhou and arriving at Hankou at 12:59; T502 would depart Hankou at 15:50, returning to Zhengzhou at 21:10, taking 5 hours and 20 minutes for the journey, reducing the original travel time by 45 minutes. As the DJF1 was switched to the new service, T491/492 started using double deck 25K carriages again.[9]

The DJF1 was originally built as a six car set with a capacity of 548 people with a single price for any distance. This was set at Шаблон:CNY for soft seat and Шаблон:CNY for hard seat. Due to the large passenger demand but insufficient seats, service T501/502 was never profitable. Even with each seat being occupied, the service lost an average of Шаблон:CNY per day, due to costs from electricity.[10] To increase the carrying capacity and thus operating efficiency, Zhengzhou bureau signed a contract in 2002 with Zhuzhou Electric Loocmotive, Zhuzhou Institute and Sifang for expanding the six car set into a fourteen car set, increasing maximum capacity to 1398 people. For this, the DJF1 was removed from service from 11 May 2002, departing for modifications at Qingdao. This was completed, and then transferred to Zhuzhou on 8 July for fitting out and testing.[11] Other features fitted were at the request of Zhengzhou bureau, such as vacuum toilets, emergency air conditioning electrical supply and LCD televisions. The entire set was returned to Zhengzhou on 8 September, and passed various tests,[12] re-enterting service on 28 September in time for Golden Week holidays.[13]

However, the train still had an inconsistent performance. Various faults would occur; the components that had the most faults were the traction transformers, auxiliary inverters, auxiliary power supply and microcomputer controls. The set failed often in service, which not only affected the on-time running of services, but also led to passenger frustration and damage to the reputation of the railway bureau.[14] Some breakdowns were severe enough that the set could not continue on its on. On 5 September 2004, while operating T502 from Wuchang to Zhengzhou, a fault occurred as the seat was near Xiaogang, where an axle in carriage ten became jammed. After passengers were moved to other carriages, traction unit three (carriages 8 to 10) were removed, and the set continued on with eleven cars to Zhengzhou.[15]

By November 2005, the DJF1 had run over Шаблон:Cvt, transporting over 1,900,000 passengers. It was replaced in service from June 2006, with T501/502 being instead assigned to 25K double deck carriages, while the DJF1 being stored at Zhengzhou. It was returned to Qingdao Sifang in June 2007, where it became a spare parts donor, and was progressively dismantled. With the old factory buildings at Sifang being dismantled, ten of the carriages were also dismantled, except for the four motor cars, which have since then been stored at the China Railway Museum.[2]

Technical features

Overall structure

The DJF1 was designed as a power separated EMU, with two motors and a trailer forming a traction unit. The train has the ability to be rearranged, and could be expanded with demand. Initially, in its six car form, it consisted two traction units, with a total tractive effort of 3200 kW. With the expansion of it into a fourteen car set with four traction units, the tractive effort was increased to 6400 kW. Operation can be conducted with just one raised pantograph, with a high voltage cable linking all cars to distribute power.

The carriage body was built with a drum shape, and the thin wall structure was supported with a welded frame, built with mostly aluminium, ABS and polycarbonates, with an emphasis on lighter materials. Each carriage was connected with a tightlock coupler, and the control cars had a streamlined design built of fibreglass, while skirts under each carriage smooth airflow. Only the two driving motors are soft seat carriages in a two by two reclinable layout; the hard seat carriages were in a two by three seat layout. All carriages had a luggage room, conductor's room, tea boilers, toilets and locally manufactured plug doors.[16]

Transmission

The DJF1 had an AC—DC—AC transmission, with every traction unit having a primary transformer in the trailer between the two motors. The two motor carriages are fitted with inverters and traction motors.[17]

The DJF1 used mostly domestically built parts, developed by Zhuzhou Institute. The AC transmission used has three components: PMW inverter, DC return and IGBT controls rated at 3300V/1200A, which dissipates heat with a heat sink and air cooling.[18] The JD112 traction motors are three-phase, asynchronous motor with a rated output of 200 kW.[19]

Auxiliary electronics are split into two independent units for seven carriages each, with centralised rectifiers but individual inverters, providing 600V DC to each carriage, which is passed through an inverter to become two-phase 220 V AC.[17]

Control system

The DJF1 used a microcomputer control based on the Adtranz "MICAS-S2", using the TCN standard. The controls are separated into three lines, the set control, the carriage control and control cable. Each traction unit has a single connector for the cables.

Bogie

The DJF1 used two different types of bogies, the DDB-1 for motors and DTB-2 for trailers. These two bogies feature a different structure, though they were both developed using existing Sifang designs, while incorporating foreign designs for a bolsterless bogie. The bogies had two stage suspension, with the carriage resting on air cushioned springs of the second stage suspension, which in turn is on the springs of the first stage suspension.[20]
