Subway Station Air Temperature October 31, 2012 Ben Bernays Chris Lomenzo Dan Sade
Problem: • Little air circulation in station • Climate control in station is like cooling a house with open windows and doors • Heat Sources dissipate within station • Train brakes heat up as train enters station • Air Conditioning units work to cool cars • Body heat from passengers
Lab Plan: • Investigate Different Methods for cooling/controlling the station air temperature • Air conditioning • Platform screen doors • Investigate Possibility of Recycling Braking Energy to Power Trains • Factors to include • Cost • Efficiency • Time table
