DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A description and general location of equipment on F9 (Fig. 1-1), FP9
and FL9 locomotives is given in this section.
A locomotive consists of one or more units rated at 1750 horsepower
per unit. Those units equipped with an operating cab are designated "A" units,
and those without cabs as "B" or Booster units.
Depending
upon
the
horsepower requirements a locomotive will consist of from 1 to 4 units. The
FP9 and FL9 locomotives are only built as "A" units and are exactly
comparable to the F9 "A" units except that the FP9 is 4 feet longer than the F9
and the FL9 is 4 feet longer than the FP9, to provide space for additional
features or equipment. The FL9 also differs from the F9 and FP9 in that it is
equipped with a six wheel #2 truck.
100
Diesel Engine
The main generator and auxiliaries of these units are
driven by a 16-cylinder V-type, 2 cycle, 1750 HP Model 567C Diesel engine,
Fig. 1-2. The cylinders have an 8-1/2" bore and a 10" stroke. The two banks of
the engine are arranged with respect to each other at an angle of 45°. The
engine has a fully scavenging air system and has two blowers for this
purpose.The blowers are mounted on the rear end of the engine; each blower is
equipped with a separate air filter.
The engine is started by temporarily using the direct coupled main
generator as a starting motor. Current from a storage battery "motors" the main
generator to rotate the engine.
NOTE: In this manual, the word "engine" refers specifically to the Diesel
engine; the word "locomotive" refers to a consist of one or more units.

Main Generator
The main generator and alternator assembly,
Fig. 1-3, is directly connected to the Dieselengine crankshaft through a serrated
coupling. The main generator is a constant
KW generator which produces direct current
at a nominal 600 volts for operation of the
traction motors. The armature of the main
generator acts as the engine flywheel.
102 Alternator
The alternator, Fig. 1-3,
built into the engine end of the main
generator frame, is a three phase alternating
current generator. The alternating current
(AC) produced is used to drive the four
engine water cooling fans and four traction
motor blowers.

DESCRIPTION
103 Traction Motors
Four Model D37 traction motors, Fig. 1-4, are used in
each unit. On the FL9 the center axle of the #2 truck is idle, and necessary for
load
carrying
and
braking
purposes only. Each motor is
geared to the axle, which it drives,
by a motor pinion gear meshing
with an axle gear. The gear ratio
between the two gears, Fig. 1-5, is
expressed as a double number
such as 62/15. In this case the axle
gear has 62 teeth while the pinion
has 15 teeth.
Gear Ratio Chart Fig. 1-5
During acceleration, the traction motor electrical hookup is changed to
utilize the full power developed by the main generator, within the range of its
current and voltage limits.
The changes in the traction motor electrical
connections is called transition. Four steps of transition are used as follows:
1. Series-Parallel
3. Parallel
2. Series-Parallel Shunt
4. Parallel-Shunt
