摘要: |
The purpose of this Transit IDEA project was to develop cost-effective devices to clean electrified third rail insulators for rail rapid transit systems. A prototype cleaning device was built and field tested on two transit systems. This project included the development and field testing of a prototype cleaning device on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrorail system and the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) Baltimore rail rapid transit systems. This prototype was based on the results of research conducted in Stage I of this project to evaluate the performance of several insulator surface cleaning technologies: (1) pneumatic polishing with rice husks with high silica content; (2) mechanical cleaning with powered rotating brushes; (3) pressure washing with high temperature tap and deionized water. |
