You can tell it is a relatively new 710 engine as the EUIs (electronically-controlled unit injectors) are P/N 40112933. There is a different part number for factory remanufactured EUIs, as might be found on an older locomotive.
The internal timing (fill, dump, etcetera) is electronically controlled on post-1995 engines. The built-in plunger pump is still used to perform the actual injection, much as it was on pre-1995 engines. So, the camshaft actuates the plunger pump, which does the actual injection. Essentially, it is an electronically-assisted mechanical unit injector.
im going to miss the old manual fuel rack. once you got your governor set just right they were smooth as butter. start them up nice and slow. by manually actuating the fuel rack untill the governor kicks in. one of my favorite parts of the day at work
For the naysayers on it’s “not a 2 stroke because it has valves” well here’s your explanation. All the valves are for is exhaust, they pop open like how a reed valve on a 2 stroke gas holds air from coming back out the carb as the piston travels up. Diesel and gas engines work off two different principals, a gas engine can mix its fuel, air and oil on the intake stroke, a diesel cannot. The crankcase is therefor sealed like a 4 stroke. So the side of the cylinder wall about halfway down is open, kinda like how a 2 stroke gas engine has its cylinder ports, when the cylinder is coming down, a blower is pushing air, once that piston passes the gap it blows fresh air in, this is when the exhaust valves open, to allow for fresh air to flow in and the exhaust to be blown out, once the crank rotates past Bottom Dead Center it starts pushing the piston back up, once the piston blocks off the “port” the exhaust valves close, the cylinder comes up, compressing the air, the injector fires and the piston travels down and the cycle is continued. This is all done in one rotation of the crank, whereas a 4 cycle has to do it in 2 rotations of the crank. A diesel 2 stroke cannot run without a blower, a gas 2 stroke uses the downward travel of the piston to cause the positive displacement that is required to push the exhaust out and air fuel oil mixture in.

@@paulspomer16 This EMD 2-Stroke does ... what do you think them springs are going up and down are doing. The rocker arm pushes the valve down and the spring brings the valve back up. You can see the cam shaft spinning in the back ground. Best low RPM reliable engine ever built.
@@paulspomer16 as a diesel mechanic, I can assure you that 2 stroke diesel engines, particularly those designed by GM/EMD, including the Detroit Diesel 53, 71, 92, and 149 series, and the EMD 567, 645, and 710 engines, all utilize camshafts to actuate both mechanically plunged injectors, as well as to open the exhaust valves. Please do some research on how a 2 stroke diesel engine works. It's a completely different concept than the 2 stroke gas engine on your lawnmower or leaf blower.
JJ I guess it depends on where you work. We used the terms interchangeably at Cummins when I worked there. But "valve bridge" could also refer to the material between the valves in the cylinder head.
The injector is the pump. Plunger is forced down to create pressure, then there is a little solenoid valve that fires the fuel into the cylinder. Fully mechanical injected ones used a poppet style valve
Yeah, if you look at the 16v Detroit diesels, you can see that these are practically enlarged Detroits. If you see the inside of the cylinder head, you’ll know what I mean
Yea I posted the same thing. I watched a cold start video & it was a inline 6 Cyl 2 Stroke GM Engine. & Even the side covers looks just like the old 238 Detroit Truck Engine I ran so many of. Just Much Bigger...
@@martihill3611 According to the Wikipedia article on 2 stroke diesels, the EMD 567 and the Detroit Diesel were developed side by side by the same group of engineers. They are both based on improvements to the Winton 201A, which was the engine used to power the Burlington Zephyr.
All the 645 and 710's have black oil within a short period of run time. Oil is change based on analysis; not so much time, the TBN dictates when the oil needs changing.
The item that says "Electro Motive" at 0:38 appears to have the Bosch logo on it...I wonder if there are Bosch parts in EMD locomotives? After all, Bosch pioneered diesel technology.
Antifreeze is a corrosive and NOT for use in a good diesel engine. They are watercooled which is why they thye need to be running when not in service in freezing weather.
They use water that is treated. I've seen pink and green water. I've only seen the pink treatment pellets. I can probably assume the green comes as pellets too. I don't know if the tier 4 series engines use the same stuff. Gensets however, do use antifreeze which is why they can shut down below 30 degrees. Very unpleasant when it's cold outside.
Sometimes antifreeze is needed, yes. We ran 645's in a diesel powered power plant that used outdoor radiators for cooling. This was in Arctic Alaska; no chance of getting by with treated fresh water cooling only.
@@BossSpringsteen69 Railroads all but quit using the green treatment because the automatic water drain valves dump the cooling water when the water temperature gets down somewhere between 35 and 40 degrees F to avoid freeze damage and Karens that didn’t know any better would call the EPA on the railroad for dumping hundreds of gallons of anti-freeze on the ground. So most switched to the purple stuff instead. It can look pink if the mixture is weak. Both colors come in pellet form or liquid, our shop had both at one time, just liquid type these days. Tier 4 engines use the same stuff.
It is not a common rail engine, the low pressure fuel is metered electronically into the Mechanical Unit Injector. The MUI then develops the high pressure to inject the fuel. With this system injection timing cannot be altered electronically but fuel metering can be very accurately controlled cylinder by cylinder if needed.
These are electronic unit injectors (EUI's). The camshaft injector lobes actuate the injector rocker arms which push down on the injectors, and this is what puts the fuel under very high pressure. Then, on each injector, there is an electronically-controlled solenoid valve which the ECM actuates in order to fire the fuel into the cylinders. On these new electronic engines, the ECM controls both the injection timing and the quantity of the fuel injected.
It's not 3,000 HP...The V16 645's like in the SD40-2's did have 3,000 HP... This is a 710 Series,not 645 Series. The V16 710's (Depending on what version and locomotive) are anywhere from 4,300 HP to 6,000 HP. The variants of the SD70's & SD75's have 4,300-4,500 HP,but then the variants of the SD90's had 5,500-6,000 HP until they were derated later on to 4,300 HP. Then there was the SD80MAC's that also had 6,000 HP initially,but used V20's as prime movers and not V16's like the others do,but still 710 Series. The numbers for EMD such as "265","567","645",or "710" only confirm how many cubic inches you have for every cylinder.
The overspeed trip used to be a whisker over 1050 RPM. 900 RPM is sweet full load speed, I have run them at 1000 rpm as generators, but they start to sound like a bucket of hammers at light load.
I can listen to that sound all day...

That's a 2 strokes engine. 4 exhaust valves cover more surface and allow a better scavenging of the combustion chamber.
I don’t think so. 2 strokes don’t have valves.

Yes... the sound mostly comes from the turbocharger
