The steam locomotives of the Russian class І were a series of Russian passenger train steam locomotives of the Mallet type . A special feature of them is that some locomotives were made as composite locomotives , some with simple steam expansion according to the mallet design. They were made between 1903 and 1909. The machines reached a relatively old age; some locomotives were up to 50 years old.
history
technical description
1903 handed means Siberian railway administration of Lokomotivfabrik Kolomna a contract for the supply of a steam engine according to the system Mallet and the wheel arrangement (1B) 'B. The steam engine was predetermined for service on mountainous sections, it should be on a slope of 15 ‰ a train with a mass of 300 t at a speed of 27 km / h. On an incline of 10 ‰, 480 t should be transported at the same speed. The type (1B) 'B and the Mallet design were selected because of the reduction in axle pressure (at that time the railway company only had a weak superstructure ) and also for better maneuverability on the winding mountain routes of the company.
production
The steam locomotives with the original designation B K were delivered in the same year, whereby the first steam locomotive of this series (the B K .501 ) was the 3000th locomotive built by the Kolomna locomotive factory. For the steam locomotives, the steam engine was selected according to the compound system with cylinder diameters of 650 mm for the low-pressure range and 420 mm for the high-pressure range. The evaporation area of the boiler was 175.8 m², the grate area 2.61 m², the boiler pressure was 12 bar. In 1903 a total of five steam locomotives with the numbers 501 and 503-506 were delivered. The machines with the corresponding parameters were considered the factory type 84 . Likewise, four locomotives of the factory type 85 were delivered in 1903 , which differed from those of the factory type 84 in the boiler parameters (the evaporation area was increased to 186.4 m², the boiler pressure was reduced to 11 bar). A simple steam engine with a diameter of all cylinders of 420 mm was also used in this type of plant.
From 1904 on, the Kolomna locomotive factory began to build the factory type 98 , which had parameters similar to the factory type 84 . In 1904 28 units (No. 510-537) were produced, in 1907 20 units (No. 538-557), in 1908 17 units (No. 558-574) and in 1909 the last 38 units (No. 575-612). All locomotives of the factory type 98 had a compound steam engine again. For the locomotives with the numbers 558-588, the grate area was increased to 2.76 m² and the evaporation area to 176.2 m². A total of 112 steam locomotives of the B K series were produced, which were given the designation Russian series І in 1912 . Simultaneously with this renaming, the serial numbers were increased by 100.
Fate of the series
The fuel consumption of the steam locomotives of the Russian series І was significantly higher than that of locomotives of the same size with simple steam expansion and a fixed frame. This had already been observed with the Russian series Ѳ and a concession to the Mallet design. The use of the simple steam engine in the series only involved more complicated maintenance of the steam engine. The high pressure cylinders in the bogie area were more complicated to control than on the compound machine. For this reason, the factory type 98 switched to the compound machine.
By strengthening the superstructure, it was possible to switch to simpler locomotives, so that from the second half of the 1920s and from the 1930s the locomotives were removed from service and removed from the inventory lists. At the beginning of 1940 there were still five locomotives of the Russian series at the Krasnoyarskaya zhelesnaja doroga among the operational locomotives, in 1954 the last steam locomotive of this series, the I.643 (which was the former B K .543 ), was deleted from the inventory lists. .
