Air conditioning for main line rolling stock - Part 1: Comfort parameters

1 Scope

This part of GB/T 33193 specifies comfort parameters for cars or compartments and performance requirements for air conditioning installation of main line rolling stocks (single-decker or double-decker). These comfort parameters apply in a similar way to the areas reserved for train staff, with the exception of the catering service areas.

This part is applicable to main line rolling stock and EMU which carry passengers with the exception of suburban vehicles, metros, tramway vehicles and driving cabs.

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

GB/T 12816 The limiting value and measurement method for the interior noise in the railway passenger coach
GB/T 12817 General technical specification for railway passenger car
GB/T 33193.2-2016 Air conditioning for main line rolling stock - Part 2: Type tests
GB 50019 Design code for heating ventilation and air conditioning of industrial buildings

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
comfort
agreeable sensation perceived by a person concerning his climatic environment (temperature, humidity, air speed, etc.)

3.2
air conditioning installation
equipment intended for ventilation and/or heating and/or cooling and/or filtration

3.3
forced air ventilation
air circulation generated by a mechanical action

3.4
preheating
process which enables the interior temperature to be raised without the presence of passengers

3.5
precooling
process which enables the interior temperature to be lowered without the presence of passengers

3.6
heating
process which enables the interior temperature to be raised or maintained

3.7
cooling
process which enables the interior temperature to be lowered or maintained

3.8
comfort envelope
seat areas or compartment areas normally occupied by passengers

3.9
mean interior temperature
Tim
arithmetic mean of the interior temperatures measured 1.1m above the floor in comfort envelope

3.10
mean exterior temperature
Tem
arithmetic mean of the exterior temperatures

3.11
catering service area
space or compartment reserved for staff specializing in the preparation and/or the sale of food

3.12
heat transfer coefficient
K
ratio between the density of the heat flow rate per area unit and the difference in mean interior temperature (Tim) across the relevant insulated walls of the vehicle and mean exterior temperature (Tem)

Note: the coefficient K takes account of the efficiency of the insulation of the exterior insulated walls and the effect of the infiltration of air caused by the non-airtightness of the vehicle in motion (doors, windows, various openings) and is applicable to all or part of the vehicle.

4 Comfort parameters

Except the precooling and preheating phases, comfort shall be assessed on the basis of the following environmental parameters such as:

a) air temperature according to Annex A;

b) air speed according to Annex B;

c) relative humidity according to Annex C;

d) temperature of the walls;

e) heat emitted by a passenger seated and wearing normal clothing according to Annex D;

f) external climatic conditions which have an indirect effect;

g) the operation of catering equipment shall not disturb the comfort parameters in the comfort envelopes.

5 External conditions

5.1 Normal external operating conditions

The comfort conditions shall meet those specified in Clause 6 within the limits of the external conditions given in E.1 and E.2, Annex E.

5.2 Extreme external operating conditions

The installations shall be able to operate at extreme temperatures:

a) 5K below the minimum values and 5K above the maximum values specified in Annex E;

b) if they are placed under the underframe, 10K above the maximum values specified in Annex E.

For extreme conditions, the compliance of comfort conditions specified in Clause 6 may be determined through negotiation of the supplier and the demander.

6 Comfort conditions to be respected

6.1 Temperatures in comfort envelope

6.1.1 Interior temperature setting (Tic)

It shall be within the limit range (exterior temperature >15℃) and above the solid line (exterior temperature ≤15℃) of the regulation curve shown in Annex A.

6.1.2 Change range of mean interior temperature (Tim)

Based on the mean interior temperature (Tim) with respect to interior temperature setting (Tic), the change range of temperature shall not be greater than ±2K.

6.1.3 Maximum interior air temperature difference in a horizontal section

It shall not be greater than 3K measured 1.1m from the floor and for the sleeping berth areas of sleeping cars and couchette cars.

6.1.4 Maximum interior air temperature difference in a vertical section

The maximum interior air temperature difference in a vertical section measured 0.1m~1.7m from the floor shall not be greater than 3K according to GB/T 33193.2-2016.

6.2 Temperatures in auxiliary areas

6.2.1 Mean temperature in corridor

According to GB/T 33193.2-2016, the arithmetic mean of the temperatures measured 1.7m from the floor shall meet the following requirements:

a) in heating, this temperature shall not be less than 6K below the interior temperature setting (Tic) of the comfort envelope;

b) in cooling, this temperature shall not be more than 5K above the interior temperature setting (Tic) of the comfort envelope.

6.2.2 Mean temperature in vestibules

According to GB/T 33193.2-2016, the arithmetic mean of the temperatures measured 1.7m from the floor shall meet the following requirements:

a) in heating, this temperature should lie between 10℃ and the interior temperature setting (Tic) of the comfort envelope;

b) in cooling, this temperature should not be more than 9K above the interior temperature setting (Tic) of the comfort envelope nor greater than +35℃.

In addition, the mean temperature shall not be less than 4℃ at 0.1m above the floor in heating.

6.2.3 Interior temperature in washrooms, WC’s, telephone areas

The temperature measured at a point situated on the vertical geometric center of the floor of these locations at a height of 1.1m shall:

a) not be less than 14℃ in heating;

b) not be more than 6K above the interior setting temperature (Tic) of the comfort envelopes in cooling.

6.2.4 Interior temperature in nursery

The temperature measured at a point situated on the vertical geometric center above the floor at a height of 1.1m shall:

a) not be less than the mean interior temperature (Tim) of the comfort envelopes in heating;

b) not be more than 4K above the interior temperature setting (Tic) of the comfort envelopes in cooling.
