Dr John T AetiaUata, dean of engineerIni si Illinois Institute el Technology, do llvered en address on Sept 24 at the annua] Indiana Coal Conference In Terra Haute, IncL, aponeored by Indiana Coal Prepara tion Utilization Society and Ohio Valley Section of American Institute of Mining and- Metallurgical Engineer*. Ho Mated that tha coal-burning gaa-iurblne locomo tive is tho moat serious competitor to the diesel locomotive that baa yet appeared. Il la believed that tho gna turbine, especi ally when using coal a* a fuel, possesses more beneficial characteristics, and it is predicted that only by Its adoption vtQ the ultimate in locomotive design be achieved. .
A 4000-hp coai-bamlng loeomotlve gas turbine now being coustructed will aeon be ready lor tearing, and il the anticipated performance la realized, fuel and main tenance coal* will be lower than lor any locomotive ever built. A do type o! elec* trie transmission, similar to that in dieselelectrie locomotives, wOl be employed.
The gaa-iurblne power plant coulsii ol a 1300-F turbine driving a compressor directly and also, through a reduction gear, a generator. The tatter famishes electrie power to irsciioa motors mounted on the eilei of the locomotive. A best exchanger will be used for improved
economy. The expected foci cost, when using eaal,
will be about one half that of dlw locomotive of similar horsepower. Lubrica tion costa should not exceed one tenth of
those of the diesel type. The purely rotery motion of the gas turbine will result in
minimum maintenance and vibration. Besides reducing fuel costs, there **
other Incentives for using cool. For in stance, some railroads get their chief of revenue from heullng coal, and gcj customer relations are Important. For conservation, use of coal la atso dletateA
