Study Notes

Heat Load Calculation of AC Sleeper Coach

  • AC coaches need to be sized based on various conditions (temperature, latitude, passenger load).
  • Assumptions are made about the working conditions to determine the capacity of the AC plant.
  • Standards for comfort (like fresh air per passenger) and heat transfer coefficients for coach parts are specified.

Abbreviations and Constants

  • T.D.: Ambient temperature difference
  • T.D.S.: Solar temperature difference
  • K: Coefficient of heat transfer (K cal/Hr/m²/°C)
  • U: Coefficient of heat transfer for windows due to solar gain
  • G.D.: Grains difference

Coefficients of Heat Transfer (k)

  • Wall and end partitions: 0.615 k-Cal/Hr/m²/°C
  • Roof: 0.65 k-Cal/Hr/m²/°C
  • Floor: 0.72 k-Cal/Hr/m²/°C
  • Windows (conduction): 1.94 k-Cal/Hr/m²/°C
  • Windows (U-value): 5.34 k-Cal/Hr/m²/°C

Operating Conditions

  • Outside conditions: 45°C, 25°C, 82% RH, 52 Moisture grains
  • Inside conditions: 25°C, 40°C, 56% RH, 26 Moisture grains
  • Temperature difference (T.D.): 20°C
  • Grain difference(G.D.): 26

Other Calculations

  • Fresh air for non-smoking compartments: 0.35 m³/passenger/minute
  • Total fresh air for 46 passengers: 16.1 m³/minute
  • 2 Fluorescent tubes (24W each)
  • 16 incandescent lamps (15W each)
  • 8 Fans (29W each)

Dimensions of AC Portion

  • Length of AC portion (A): 15.2m
  • Width of roof (B): 3.245m
  • Width of floor (C): 3.04m
  • Height of A.C. portion (D): 2.03m
  • Area of side wall (A x D): 30.856 m²
  • Area of roof (A x B): 49.324 m²
  • Area of floor (A x C): 46.208 m²

Heat Gain Calculations

  • Includes conduction, solar (for walls, roof, floor, Windows), Passengers' heat gain, ventilation heat gain, Electrical loads (fluorescent lights, incandescent lamps, Fans and blowers)

  • Extensive calculations for these parameters are provided in the text.

Refrigeration Capacity

  • Final calculation determining the amount of refrigeration required by the coach, to maintain specified temperature conditions.
  • The result is expressed as a number of tons of refrigeration (TR), which is a common unit in AC system design.
