Design and Calculation Methodology for Air Conditioning Systems of Railway Buildings

The capacity of air conditioning systems for railway buildings is decided by calculating the quantity of heating or cooling load. Heat pump air conditioners work at their best energy efficiency under specific conditions, and to conserve energy used for those air conditioners, it is important to choose air conditioners of optimum capacity. In choosing air conditioners of optimum capacity, it is necessary to accurately calculate the loads. There are general design and calculation methodologies for the loads of ordinary buildings; however, those methodologies do not fit special loads in railway buildings, such as ticket vending machine rooms, train draft load, and train heat emission. This paper will cover the special loads in railway buildings
