HVAC System
Overview

Each Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) car shall be equipped with two roof-mounted, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units. The HVAC units shall be removable and selfcontained, and shall utilize scroll compressors using R400-series refrigerants for cooling. R134a refrigerant may be proposed with Customer approval. A non-chemical refrigerant system may also be proposed for consideration by the Customer. Temperature control shall be provided by a microprocessor based integrated HVAC control system that monitors outside and inside temperatures and adjusts the systems cooling and heating functions to maintain a comfortable inside temperature and humidity level throughout the range of environmental and climatic conditions identified in PRIIA Specification 305-912. Dampers on the fresh air intake vents shall control the amount of outside air taken in by the HVAC system. The air conditioning and basic ventilation for each car shall be provided by two identical interchangeable, unitized, air conditioning systems. Each system shall provide air conditioning to the entire car at half the required capacity, in case of failure of the other system. The DMU shall have a main air distribution duct in the ceiling of the car, which shall supply the main ceiling air diffusers and supplementary side wall air diffusers located above the side windows. Heating shall be provided by forced air overhead heat in the HVAC units and by convection floor heaters along the base of the side walls in the car interiors. Freeze protection shall be provided at the side door thresholds and all fresh water system components that may be exposed to freezing conditions. 10.2 General Requirements

The HVAC system shall provide a comfortable temperature controlled environment of the interior areas of all DMUs as follows:

The DMU shall be designed to operate in all environmental and climatic conditions identified in PRIIA Specification 305-912. The DMUs interior temperature, including the Engineers cab, shall be maintained to the specified value (68F - 76F) under all specified conditions. Passenger load shall be assumed to be AW3 for cooling load calculations. Heat and cooling requirements shall include the opening of both sets of side doors on alternating sides of the car every 15 minutes and held open for two minutes, to simulate passenger loading and unloading in all outside ambient temperatures identified in PRIIA Specification 305-912. Ambient conditions as specified and heat losses due to train motion shall be included in HVAC system performance evaluation.

Air losses due to door and carbody leakage shall be included in the HVAC system performance evaluation.

A microprocessor based, integrated HVAC system shall be provided. The system shall be designed to maintain the specified interior passenger area temperature and humidity and to also assure adequate interior ventilation. The Contractor shall prepare, and submit for the Customer's approval during design review, a detailed heating and cooling load analysis along with recommended heating, cooling and ventilation capacities. In no case shall the total heating capacity be less than 40 kilowatt (kW) not including the forced air control cab heater, nor shall the total refrigeration capacity be less than 192,000 BTU/Hr. The HVAC unit manufacturer shall conduct qualification testing to verify this design, heating and cooling capacity per ASHRAE Standard 37-05. This testing is further discussed in Chapter 19. The HVAC system shall be powered from the 480VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz supply. The temperature controls shall operate from the 120VAC, 1-phase, 60 Hz supply, and the freeze protection circuits shall operate from the 120VAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz supply. The HVAC system shall be designed to perform at the nominal voltages and operate within the voltage and frequency tolerance ranges specified in PRIIA Specification 305-912. To minimize the effects of motor inrush currents on the head end power system, the controls shall incorporate a method to provide staggered starting of the refrigerant compressor motors. The startup timing shall be set to stagger the startup of the A/F-end unit at least 15 seconds before the B-end unit. Freeze protection shall be provided and turned on when the ambient outside temperatures drop below 40F, and shall shut off when the outside temperatures rise to 50F. The HVAC system shall be controlled by a microprocessor temperature control using a sufficient number of temperature sensors to properly regulate heating and cooling in response to temperature changes inside and outside the DMU. Temperature sensors in the car body shall be located to accurately reflect temperature changes without being unduly influenced by external heat sources or solar radiation. HVAC system circuit breakers and temperature control adjustment devices shall be located in the electrical locker and shall be accessible only to the operating and maintenance crews. Circuit breakers, controls and relays shall be inaccessible to the passengers. The HVAC unit shall be a fully hermetically sealed system, without threaded components, or other non-welded fittings, except for two service ports (for high and low pressure) equipped with high quality industrial Schrader valves. Pressure transducers shall be provided to allow the microprocessor to monitor both the discharge and suction line pressures. A technician using a laptop/PTU shall be able to monitor both pressures without the use of pressure gauges. The performance of the entire assembled HVAC system as installed in a completed DMU vehicle shall be verified at the Climate Room Test specified in Chapter 19.
