PROBLEMS OF NOISE AND VIBRATION WITH AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT FOR RAILWAY VEHICLES. METHODS USED TO REDUCE NOISE AND VIBRATION EMITTED BY AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT IN MODERN RAIL COACHES

PROBLEMES DE BRUITS ET VIBRATIONS DANS LES INSTALLATIONS DE CONDITIONNEMENT D'AIR DES VEHICULES FERROVIAIRES. MOYENS UTILISES POUR REDUIRE LES BRUITS ET VIBRATIONS PROVENANT DES INSTALLATIONS DE CONDITIONNEMENT D'AIR DANS LES VOITURES MODERNES

The author examines the specific characteristics of all machinery that are capable of producing noise and vibration, and investigates various positions to attenuate these disorders with the view to suppressing them altogether in the passenger spaces. One important factor is the proper sound insulation of the rail coach body itself.
