HVAC on Attiko Metro Trains
Design, Testing, Operation &
Impact on Station/Tunnel Ventilation
KEY QUESTIONS !
Does HVAC make Metro trains GREENER?
How do HVAC affect the Sustainability of
Metro Networks?
Does HVAC make Metro trains GREENER?
HVAC
The mechanical system that provides thermal comfort and air quality
Comfort,
Health &
Safety
Increases:
Popularity and daily ridership
Reduces :
the number of cars on the street
CO2 and NOx emissions in the city centers
travel times
Metro Trains HVAC - Sustainability
SUSTAINABILITY
Economic
Environmental
Social
According to the previous slide
the sectors that are affected by
the Metro Trains HVACs can be
grouped as:
Does HVAC on Metro trains, indirectly but substantially,
contribute to the GREEN TRANSPORTATION character of
Metro trains???
Outline / Agenda

Certain aspects of the Design, Operation and
Testing of the HVAC systems installed on Metro
Trains will be addressed.

A brief investigation of the impact of the operation
of the train HVAC on the tunnel/station ventilation
will be held.

The KEY QUESTIONS that were asked right at the
start of this presentation will be readdressed.

Stand for Thermocouple and Hotwire sensors:
Measure Air Temperature and Velocity
Vapor Generator  Latent Heat
Electrical Mat Heaters  Sensible Heat
Impact on Tunnel/Station Ventilation
A train equipped with HVAC releases to the Metro Network circa 30% more
heat than a train with no HVAC
i.e.
30% more heat must be abducted from the Metro Network, by the
Ventilation System


Ventilation shafts of circa 30% larger areas are required
Stations must be equipped with exhaust fans of substantially higher VFR
capacity

NEVERTHELESS, worldwide, the trend is that
 New Metro trains are equipped with HVAC systems!
 Old Metro trains are retrofitted with HVAC systems!
Does it promote sustainability or not?
HVAC on trains
HVAC on trains
Increases Passenger Ridership
Increases the network’s
Operating & Construction costs
because
 It offers Passengers Comfort
and Safety
Hence
 Congestion in cities is reduced
 car-km are saved
 CO2 emissions in city centers
are reduced
because
The heat emitted in the
tunnels/stations is increased
which results to
Adverse effects on tunnel and
Station ventilation requirements
Sustainability
Summary / Conclusions
 Key Questions were asked regarding the effect that the
train HVAC systems have on the sustainability and the
GREEN Transportation character of Metro Networks
 A concise review of the Design, Operation and Testing
of the HVAC systems revealed the complexity of
installing such a system on a Metro Train.
 It was proven to be irresolute whether the
sustainability and the GREEN Transportation
character of the Metro networks are enhanced or
downgraded by the installation of HVAC on the trains.
 The above, highlights the need for the conduction of
studies that explore the effect of the train HVAC
systems on the Sustainability of Metro Networks.
