Pulverised Brown Coal

Pulverised Brown Coal

In the late 1940's, the rail administration turned its attention again to pulverised brown coal as a fuel for steam engines in service. The previous trials of this nature were carried out in the mid 1920's. Several steam engines were modified and fitted with special pressurised tenders. The dust was highly volatile and stories told in the 1970's still evoked memories of caution.

To transport the pulverised fuel from Yallourn, special air discharge wagons were built.

This coal mass has been set to 0.86kg/ unit '1162.8 unit/ton' to comply with the shovel amount trainz does by default 'Means if you set the mass to 0.2kg it'll only take 2 units per 1kg shovel when it should take 5 units'.

The amount of energy from buring brown coal was from 2000 to 3800 BTU/kg, this should be defined in a steam e-spec that is using this fuel to get correct energy heat rate.
