Baileys Performance Solutions - Diesel Fuel Injection and Air Charging Systems for Railway Vehicle Engines

Excessive fuel consumption, reduced performance output and smoky exhaust gases are clear indicators of diesel-powered engines operating under compromised combustion system conditions.

Too much fuel and not enough air or not enough fuel and too much air all have the same outcome. The combustion process is compromised, and compromise means inefficiency in diesel engine performance. Inefficiency cost money in excessively high fuel bills, premature engine component wear and simply result in unscheduled service and maintenance interventions increasing unnessary downtime.

Air-fuel management for medium-speed diesel engines

Since 1976, Baileys Performance Solutions (BPS) has understood medium-speed diesel engines. With over 30 years of experience in air-fuel management, we ensure engine performance, frugality and dependability during service intervals.

We have 30 years of successful partnerships with our clients in their quest to improve engine output, fuel savings and emission control, whether it's an ALCO, EMD, Paxman, GE, or any other make.

Diesel fuel injection and air charging systems for engines

Diesel fuel injection and air charging systems are managing invisibly fluid and gaseous energies. Measured in microns and bars (psi), the right fuel volume together with the right air volume create the synthesis for the third dimension in process – compression.

BPS is a specialist in the first and second dimensions, and engine overhauling contractors are experts in the third dimension. BPS refurbishe fuel injection systems for ALCO, EMD, Paxman, GE or any other locomotive diesel engine.

BPS synchronises air charging capacities after the fuel injection system has been calibrated to within 0.02% equalisation between each injector / pump assembly of 12 or 16 cylinder units (almost to common rail standards).

Tools for precision engineering in the rail industry

The tools of fine precision engineering are test benches and balancing machines. Monochromatic light optics, lapping tables, air pressure leakage detectors and hydraulic assembly rigs for the highest precision assembly techniques. And then again, test benches for final performance validation in line with the ISO standard 4008 – subsections one, two and three, for lift classes 35mm x 35mm and up to 2,000bar working pressures.

BPS submit their work to constant fuel efficiency monitoring by installing KRAL volumeter instrumentation to client engines. No ifs, no buts, no compromises in fuel efficiency.

OEM refurbishment parts and components for locomotives

Medium-speed diesels in locomotives respond to fluctuating notch positions, on contrast to medium-speed diesels in power stations or ocean vessels with their steady revolution per minute (rpm) setting for long periods of time.

Delivering fuel in the finest spray portions is even more critical for efficient locomotive work when moving between 300rpm to 1,100rpm across eight notches. BPS uses genuine OEM refurbishment parts and components of renowned manufacturers such as Lucas Bryce, Woodward, DUAP, L'Orange, Bosch and Diesel KIKI, for which we are the authorised importer and service agent in Australia and the Pacific region.

MasterPumps and Engine Handbook Data guarantee that our refurbishment is to "factory new standards", backed by our exclusive 6,000 operating hour or 12-month warranty, whichever comes first.

Systems and components for medium-speed rail engines

Our client proximity in location and communication makes all the difference. Logistics are a matter of two days instead of two months, transport costs are measured in AUD instead of USD or Euros, and our engineering competence mirrors OEM factory standards.
