The LD-1000® Air Dryer “increases motive power and rolling stock availability by providing dry, clean air with best-in-class life-cycle costs,” NYAB notes. “The LD-1000 provides superior pre-filtration, allowing for a 10-year overhaul interval, including dessicant, even when used with an oil-lubricated compressor. LD-1000 The CCB II (Computer Controlled Brake) consists of the EBV (Electronic Brake Valve) and EPCU (Electro-Pneumatic Control Unit). “As a result of FRA inspections and close monitoring of performance standards, CCB II qualifies for a cost-reducing, extended overhaul period of up to 10 years,” NYAB said. “The most field-proven locomotive computer-controlled brake in the world, CCB II integrates seamlessly with EP-60 and LOCOTROL EB.” The EBV portion, available in traditional AAR-style control stand or desktop (console) configuration, “has fewer parts, non-contacting handle sensors,” and a new ER reduction button with auto-bail, “allowing the engineer to reduce brake pipe pressure 1 PSI at a time.” EVB NYAB’s DB-60 II “uses BCM (Brake Cylinder Maintaining) to quickly replenish brake cylinder pressure when a leak occurs, preserving up to 85% of the braking force lost to brake cylinder leakage.” This a common problem in extremely cold areas. DB-60 II NYAB’s new Locomotive Parking Brake, which the company describes as “a reliable, maintenance-free and durable parking brake solution for today’s locomotive,” offers drop-in replacement for—and compatibility with—most locomotive applications, no manual switch between electric and manual mode, robust electrical connections and IP-66 rated motor, and an external Ethernet port that simplifies software updates, diagnostics and service if ever required.
