Tank car for transportation of LPG, model 15-6855

The boiler comprises cylindrical and conical shell rings maximizing its space and minimizing product residue after the tank is drained.

Various configuration options include the use of loading/unloading, control and safety fittings from leading manufacturers. The tank car design suggests the installation of both mass-produced equipment used on existing rolling stock and new loading-unloading and safety devices ensuring the fulfillment of modern safety requirements.

A system of independent two cylinder braking provides more advantageous braking conditions, possesses higher efficiency and reliability in comparison with a traditional braking scheme. Brake system is completed with modern brake devices which between repairs term is not less than 8 years, fittings for the threadless connection of brake pipelines, wear-resistant plugs made of composite pressing material (CPM) on the basis of formaldehyde resins, providing a run resource not less than 1 mln km.

Automatic coupler pulling face is equipped with a modern draft gear of Т3 class, which reduces the level of longitudinal forces, acting on the freight car. There is also an improved uncoupling arrangement, preventing the automatic coupler from falling on the track in case of breakage in an emergency.

Innovative bogie improves dynamic characteristics of the freight car, enhances safety of its operational use, increases between-repairs run and decreases life cycle costs of the product as a whole.
