compound modeの例文
- There are three main modes, as well as a number of combined or compound modes.
- One driver described how the judicious use of semi-compound mode on heavy grades, injecting high-pressure steam in the low-pressure cylinders, enhanced the locomotive s performance, and how the life of the high-pressure big-end bearings, which initially proved troublesome, could be prolonged by mixing castor oil in with the regular oil which was used on all the bearings and the valve motion.
- With all six cylinders operating at their full pressure ( which could not be sustained for very long ), the Triplexes produced huge amounts of tractive effort ( TE ) that may have been the highest of any steam locomotives before or since . ( Westing gives a figure of in compound mode and seems to indicate that it was the largest TE for any locomotive up to the time [ 1914-1916 ] . ) The Triplexes could also be considered the largest tank engines ever built since the tender had driving wheels as well and thus contributed to traction.
