Railway Vehicle Air Conditioner Accessories Production Project

of Changchun City

 

1 Introduction to the Project

1.1 Project Background

1.1.1 Product Introduction

Railway vehicle air conditioner is the equipment that provides the processed air to guest rooms and working rooms of locomotive, railway vehicles, light rail vehicles and metro, which mainly includes refrigeration system as well as heating (or non-heating) and ventilation devices. According to the functions, railway vehicle air conditioner can be divided into cold air type, electric heating cold and hot air type, heat pump cold and hot air type, heat pump auxiliary electric heating type; according to the structure, it can be divided into overall type and separated type; according to application climate environment temperature, it can be divided into maximum temperature 45 degrees, maximum temperature 50 degrees and maximum temperature 55 degrees.

1.1.2 Market Prospects

China's rail transit cause has developed rapidly and violently in recent years. At present, China has become the country that has the most rapid development of transit railway, most complete system technology, strongest integration capacity, longest operation mileage, quickest operation velocity and largest on-construction scale. As successive construction and completion of transit rapid transit railway among provinces and cities, China will form "four-horizontal and four-vertical" high-speed rail pattern in 2020. By the end of 2010, China railway operation mileage has reached 91,000km, and the rapid transit railway that has been put into operation reached 8,358km. Through the construction in 2011 and 2012, it is estimated that, by the end of 2015, China's rapid transit railway will reach more than 150,000km, demand quantity of railway vehicles will increase rapidly.

At present, most of transits have been equipped with air conditioner system. The advent of railway vehicles air conditioner system brought about comfort and joy for people and reduced the uncomfortable feeling in the trip. In winter, air conditioner provides warm for transit coach, enabling the tourists not to feel cold; in summer, air conditioner brings about beats of cool air for the coach, reducing vehicle temperature and enabling passengers not feel hot and dry. In the meantime, lots of air conditioner systems have ventilation effect, enabling vehicle air to be fresh, reducing the spread of bacteria, virus and harmful substances in the air, and reducing passengers' feeling of asphyxia in the coach. It can be said that, railway vehicle air conditioner is attracting increasingly more attention and demand of people. Therefore, as high-speed expansion of China's rail transit, the demand of railway vehicle air conditioner will certainly increase rapidly, so the market prospects will be extremely broad.

1.1.3 Technical Analysis

Because railway vehicles operation conditions are changeable, and operation velocity of some railway vehicles (such as high-speed rail, light rail) is relatively fast, the requirements for the technology of transit's air conditioner unit (and parts) will become higher. First, air conditioner unit should normally operate under wind sand, rain, sunshine, atmospheric corrosion and other natural conditions, as well as the circumstances of frequent starting, vibration and impact of vehicles operation. Second, heat insulating layer of air conditioner unit should have good heat insulation without absorbing water, and without toxicity or extraneous odor, and the burning performance should be Grade B1 of GB 8624-1997. Heat insulating layer must be solidly and smoothly pasted. Under normal operation, outer surface of air conditioner unit should not have condensation phenomenon. In addition, electric system of air conditioner unit should generally have protection of motor's short circuit, overload and phase failure, and should also have high pressure, protection of low pressure and antiphase and other necessary protective functions or devices. External insulating layer of wire and cable of air conditioner unit should be made of antiflaming, low fume, halogen-free material, and surface of coating piece should not have obvious air bubble, flow mark, coating missing, primer exposure, ruffle and damage. Water drainage structure of air conditioner unit should be reliable. During operation, condensate water and rain water should not leak in the coach, and the air outlet should not spray mist with water.

The opening of fresh tuyere of air conditioner unit should meet the requirements of fresh air quantity, fresh tuyere should have gas-water separation function to prevent rain and snow against entering into vehicle tank during vehicle operation. The filter screen should be assembled and disassembled conveniently. Return air inlet and fresh tuyere are equipped with air conditioner unit of air quantity regulating valve, which should have sensitive and reliable motion. Air conditioner unit with emergency ventilation function should be equipped with return air and fresh air quantity regulating valve. During emergency ventilation operation, return air inlet is completely closed, and fresh tuyere is completely opened. Furthermore, air conditioner unit should have sufficient mechanical strength, the structure should ensure the parts not to be damaged, fasteners not loosened, and performance in conformity with the requirements during vibration test and actual vehicle operation. Air conditioner unit should have safety protection measures or devices preventing operation parameters (such as temperature, pressure, etc.) against exceeding the specified scope. The setting of protective device should be in conformity with design requirements and sensitive and reliable. For the unit with electric heater, electric heater should be equipped with temperature relay and fuse protection. In addition, railway vehicle air conditioner should also meet refrigeration system's tightness, gas tightness, refrigeration quantity, heating capacity, power, noise, external static pressure, energy efficiency ratio and other technological requirements. 

At present, China's railway vehicle air conditioner technology is not extremely perfect, there are also some problems should not be neglected, such as insufficient fresh air quantity. The current fresh air supply method on the transit is fixed fresh air quantity, but in case of transport during the Spring Festival, winter and summer vacations and other special periods, the transit will usually carry more passengers than the loading capacity. The increase of passengers and fixed air quantity caused the relative shortage of fresh air quantity; the quality of air of part of air conditioner system is poor, because for the time being, temperature performance is mainly considered in the design of transit air conditioner system, coach's air quality is often neglected, sometimes resulting in passengers' suppression sense in the chest, head pain, dizziness and other symptoms; in addition, transit's air conditioner cannot automatically adjust the relative humidity in the coach, ventilation system has defects, and new technology is applied too slowly. These problems should be solved by means of constant innovation and improvement of technology. The design of air conditioner design should boldly introduce new materials, new technology and new process to enable transit's air conditioner unit to be smaller, lighter and more efficient.
