Knorr-Bremse Exhibit Wide Rail Group Portfolio at Railtex 2011
Knorr-Bremse Rail Systems (UK) Limited is presenting a wide Knorr-Bremse Group portfolio of products and systems at Railtex 2011.
In addition to established Group caliper and disc brake products featured on the stand will be the UK launch of an innovative new wheel slide protection system designed and manufactured in the UK especially for freight trains, EP1001. This system can be fitted at new build stage or retrofitted to most freight wagon types and eliminates the costly problem of wheel flats which are so damaging to both track and wheel. EP1001 features “self-power” which negates the need for any additional electrical supply to the wagon.
The latest version of the globally successful and Queen’s Award for Innovation winning, EP2002 Distributed Brake Control system will also be shown. The latest version of the mechatronic EP2002 system which has become almost an industry standard especially in China, has had more advanced features added and even faster “reactions” built in to allow for even better adaptation to the changing operational conditions of the train.
Under the environmental banner will be featured the Knorr-Bremse Oil-free compressor and environmentally friendly HVAC from Merak, the Knorr-Bremse specialist air-conditioning company. Merak has developed an HVAC system which uses the new, ultra eco-friendly refrigerant HFO1234yf. Merak says that this represents a major change in the environmental approach to rail vehicle air-conditioning.
Other Knorr-Bremse brands featured on the stand are Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors who will be displaying a working platform edge door of the type fitted by the specialist division to Makkah Metro in Saudi Arabia and also IFE who are showing a working example of one of their latest external passenger doors.
