Heating locomotive

Heizlokomotiven were in winter used to coaches to be supplied with thermal energy. The parked cars cool down quickly in winter, especially during the nightly shutdown. Heating locomotives were also used as a replacement for stationary heating systems for heating buildings or points , sometimes away from the railroad .

Steam locomotives

In the past, steam was fed from the boiler of the train locomotive into the heaters of the cars, which did not have their own power generation. In order to preheat parked wagons, a locomotive would have had to be coupled some time before the wagons were used, which would have been withdrawn from normal operation. For this reason, old steam locomotives , some of which were no longer approved for service, were used. Heating locomotives were used as heat suppliers to heat the premises of the Bahnbetriebswerke (Bw), to deliver hot water or to supply homes / factories with thermal energy.

The DR language regulation with regard to steam locomotives used in heating services best describes the differences:

  • Heating locomotive :
    • fully operational locomotive that was used to a limited extent for train services.
  • pmH = temporary mobile heating system :
    • decommissioned steam locomotives whose boilers have been preserved in working order. In the repair shop (AW) they were equipped with appropriate steam extraction connections for the heating service. With a special permit, these locomotives were allowed to drive between heating location and BW for self-supply or change their heating location. Many of the DR traditional locomotives have "survived" this way. pmH were almost completely delivered to the BWs. Removed parts were included. A restoration for operations service would have been possible with relatively little effort, but this was never done.
  • Steam dispenser :
    • This is how stationary, decommissioned locomotives with boilers that were still usable or that had been prepared for the purpose were designated. Everything was removed from these locomotives that was not necessary for steam generation or that could be used as spare parts for other locomotives. The engine was dismantled (cylinders, connecting rods, brakes) and the chassis was often simplified by removing individual axles. It only served to keep the kettle from falling over. The axes in the area of ​​the fire box were missing to facilitate side access to the ash box.

In the 1980s, specializing in the GDR , the RAW Meiningen on the renovation of locomotives (temporary mobile heating steam donors) and stationary heating systems for heating locomotives, especially for series 41 , 44 , 50 and 52 .

If a steam locomotive was only intended as a heating locomotive, it was only subjected to a simplified revision . In many locomotives, the mixer preheater was shut down and replaced by a second jet pump . Some class 44 locomotives lost their entire internal drive in the Meiningen RAW . Only the assemblies required for heating, such as the boiler, were also given a full examination. Photos of heating locomotives show that more or less makeshift high chimneys were often placed on top of the original locomotive chimney in order to improve the train and to evacuate the smoke. In locomotives that were still capable of rolling, this elevation was apparently mostly mounted on a frame under which the locomotive could be pulled out or pulled.

The new oil-fired engine 10 002 of the Federal Railroad ended up as a heating engine.

Stationary train preheating system

Fixed systems were also built that took over the tasks of the heating locomotives and supplied the trains with steam, similar to today's electrical train preheating system . Occasionally, the locomotives survived as heating in the depots, sometimes until after 1990.
