NON-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE AND ENCLOSURE FOR A TURBINE ENGINE FOR A NON-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE

摘要

A locomotive (10) is described including a frame (12) having a wall with a roof and floor defining an enclosed space thereon. A turbine engine (44) is disposed therewithin. An air inlet (68) is provided to permit ingress of air into the enclosed space for ingestion by the turbine and for circulation around the turbine to cool the turbine. A first silencer is disposed between the air inlet and the turbine to minimize noise generated by the turbine. An exhaust duct is also provided to permit egress of exhaust gases generated by the turbine. A second silencer, connected to the exhaust duct, is provided to minimize noise generated by the turbine.At least one of the wall, roof, and floor of the enclosed space incorporate noise dampening materials to minimize noise generated by the turbine. An enclosure assembly for a turbine is also disclosed.
