Click to access the detailed layout drawing for a Class 345 train.
The formation of a Class 345 train is as follows.
DMS+PMS+MS1+MS3+TS(W)+MS3+MS2+PMS+DMS
Note.
- Eight cars have motors and only one doesn’t.
- The train is composed of two identical half-trains, which are separated by the TS(W) car.
- There are four wheelchair spaces in the TS(W) car.
There is also other information on the drawing.
- 454 seated passengers.
- 1046 standing passengers calculated using a density of 4.025/m² of available floor standing area.
- 4 wheelchair spaces.
- 1500 passengers total
- 51 priority spaces compliant with PRM-TSI
- Trailer car length is 22,500 mm.
- Driver car length is 23,615 mm.
- Train length is 203,380 over mm. body ends.
There’s more information, based on what I read off the end of a train in Weight And Dimensions Of A Class 345 Train.
I estimated the weight of a nine car train to be 328.40 tonnes.
Kinetic Energy Of A Full Class 345 Train
I will assume the following
Train weight is 328.4 tonnes.
It is jam-packed with 1,500 passengers, with an average weight of 90 Kg. with their baggage.
Passenger weight is 13.50 tonnes
This gives a total train weight of 341.9
Calculating the kinetic energy for various speeds gives.
30 mph – 8.5 kWh
50 mph – 23.7 kWh
75 mph – 53.4 kWh
90 mph – 76.9 kWh
I used Omni’s Kinetic Energy Calculator.
Currently, the cost of a kWh of electricity is about fifteen pence to domestic customers, so accelerate a full Class 345 train to 90 mph, costs at that rate around £11.50.
The Deep Resource web site gives various conversion factors.
- A kilogram of coal can be converted into 8.1 kWh.
- A litre of diesel can be converted into 10 kWh.
- A kilogram of hydrogen can be converted into 33.6 kWh.
It’s so easy to do these calculations today, as you can find little calculators and information all over the Internet.
