1. INTRODUCTION
Air conditioning equipment in coaches are mounted either under slung (conventional
type under slung) or on the roof (RMPU type). RMPU type AC coaches can be classified on
the basis of mode of power supply and type of accommodation.

The battery is maintenance free with a nominal voltage of 108V and a capacity of 60
Ah. The oxygen evolved is recombined. It consists of 9 battery blocks of 12V each and is
mounted in a box in the underframe.
The box also contains a temperature sensor for detecting the ambient temperature in
the battery box.

3.1.6 Disconnecting and earthing device
The disconnecting and earthing device makes it possible to isolate the high voltage
system of a coach completely from the train bars. This permits repair and maintenance work
on a unit coach.
3.1.7 Safety Devices
All current carrying equipments such a motors, heaters etc is earthed with respect to
the coach body.
All motors are provided with thermal protection devices embedded inside, which
switched off the motor via the controller, if a motor heats up beyond permissible limit.
The electric heaters are protected in two ways against over temperature. If the supply
air temperature reaches an impermissible level, a device switches off the heaters via the
control system. If this safety device fails, the heater is finally switched off by a relief device
i.e. fusible link.

The cold or warm supply air is carried from two carriage ends via a diagonally split
supply duct through perforated ceilings into the coach and supplied over the entire duct
length with a uniform flow and inlet rate. The ducting is connected to the air conditioner via
a silencer and a vibration damped duct-connecting piece.

4.3 Fresh Air Screens
The fresh air screens are installed parallel to the air conditioning unit. These screens
are fitted with exchangeable air filters.

5 OPERATION OF AC SYSTEM
5.1 Operating Mode
(a) Preheating and Cooling Operation
In this mode the outside air dampers are closed to facilitate rapid heating up
or cooling down of the coach.
(b) Normal Operation
In this mode, the dampers are set to ensure the envisaged fresh air volume of
21 m3/h per person.
(c) Emergency Operation
When AC system fails due to failure of power supply, the adjusting dampers
of the circulating air duct close so that the system is operated exclusively with
outside air.
5.2 Switch Panel Operation
To make system ready for controlled operation, ensure 24V supply on the switch
panel and “400V ok” signal on input BA011 = 1L. Switch ON the HVAC system by means
of switch S1U4S1 (61-S2), (BA 001=1L) provided on the switch panel. The system may be
turned OFF by putting this switch on position ‘O’.
Switch S1U4S1 (61-S2) when set to position ‘0’ turns the system off.

When the air conditioning system is turned ON with switch S1U1S1 (BA001=1L)
and the 400V level is available (BA011=1L), output BY 003=1L activates contactor K26
(61-K3). This turns ON the supply air fan in CACU1. Similarly, the same input conditions
enable output BY 013=1L activating contactor K 28 (61-K5). The supply air fan in CACU2
starts running. The three exhaust fans work together with the supply air fans. This is
achieved by activating contactor K-29 (61-K6) via output BY 014=1L.
1. The indoor temperature exceeds the setpoint temperature by at least 1°C in heating mode
or falls sort of the setpoint temperature by at least 1°C in cooling mode.
2. With HVAC system turned ON, the computers fail due to a defect, the signal on output
BY 001 = 0L causes control contactor K27 (61-K4) to drop out. This is signal for the
emergency ventilation mode to be turned ON.
The heating output is controlled by the two heating contactors K 35 (61 – K16) and
K 40 (61-K21), which can be actuated separately by one output each. The heater is cycled
with a period of 60 seconds. The ON period of the heater is controlled by a control signal of
the computer.
The heater does not start running if the following conditions exist:
z When operating switch S1U4S1 (61-62) is turned OFF.
z At a duct temperature over 65°C.
z When duct sensor (AA005 and AA007) is not working.
z An error message of the appropriate supply air fan (BA 004 and BA 014, respectively)
exists.
z An error message of the heating coil thermostat exists.
z There is no 400V feed (BA 003)
z The supply air fans are running (BA 004 and BA 014)
z Thermal contacts M3F1 (61-S3) and M7F1 (61-S4) are to sample the function of the
condenser fans.
z The low-pressure message is ok in the form of logic 1.
z The high-pressure message is ok in the form of logic 0.
Now start the appropriate compressor via output BY008, BY009, BY018 or BY019.
In cooling mode, the fresh air/ re-circulating air flap must be activated for as long as it takes
to supply 21m3/h fresh air for every person.
The compressor is blocked/ switched OFF in the following conditions.
z When operating switch S1U1S1 is turned OFF.

z When an error message exists in the safety chain high pressure (BA009, BA010, BA019,
BA020 = 1L)
z When a suction error message exists (BA006, BA007, BA016, BA017 = 1L) and this
message is not reset within 120 sec. while the compressor is switched ON.
z When the switching frequency limit is exceeded.
z When the duct temperature sensor (AA005, AA007) is not working properly.
z At duct temperature below 5°C (cold-blast-protection)
z At out door temperature below 10°C (AA003, AA006)
z If suction pressure error occurs three times in 30 minutes in cooling mode.

6. CONTROL OF AC SYSTEM
All controlling and regulating functions are performed by digital controller FPC 20/2
software/ operating modes.
The control of the air conditioning system is divided into the following operating
modes.
z Test mode
z Emergency mode
z Control mode
6.1 Test Mode
This mode only support test run. The PC is connected to the a/c computer via serial
port.
6.2 Emergency Mode
If a measuring sensor fails, the system continues in emergency mode. This mode
consists of the two steps.
Outdoor temperature Step 1: Evaluation is taken over by
sensor defective the sensor of the other
system.
Step 2: Fixed value of 20°C.
Duct air temperature Control together with room
sensor defective temperature.
Room air temperature Step 1: Evaluation is taken over by
sensor defective the sensor of other system.
Step 2: Control according to duct
temperature and outdoor
temperature.
Set point generator Control to fixed value of “Mid”
defective
Room and duct Turns OFF heating and cooling,
sensors defective ventilation remains possible.
6.3 Control Mode
In this mode the air conditioning units are controlled & regulated by a
microprocessor controller. This is a fully automatic operating mode. Depending on the
ambient temperature, the available modes of heating, ventilating, cooling and dehumidifying
are controlled.
6.4 Control Unit Lamp Display
Meaning of lamp displays on control unit is described below:
