    Heating ventilating air conditioning, refrigerants, railway suitability, air quality, saving energy, etc.

    We will assist you with your questions regarding the topic of climate control and air-conditioning systems:

    Vehicles and components

    • Specialist railway engineering for all environmental control system applications (passenger area and driver's cab, special designs) and galley cooling systems (normal cooling and deep freezing)
    • Specification of requirements for new purchases, add-on air conditioning systems and redesign of regular and special vehicles; safeguarding of the compliance of vehicles and components delivered
    • Simulation of thermodynamic processes (refrigeration units, heat exchangers) using tools based on object-oriented programming (Modelica)
    • Functional optimisation of existing systems with respect to comfort requirements, efficiency, durability, railway suitability and availability
    • Air quality, filters, cleaning, maintenance
    • Accompaniment of trial testing activities, use of mobile data loggers

    People and the environment

    • Saving energy (development of targeted measures, assessment and assistance in implementation)
    • Pressure protection systems and pressure comfort
    • Environmental protection and compliant concepts (e.g. refrigerant with minimal global warming potential, natural refrigerants)
    • Environmental influences (snow, sand, ice, dirt/contamination, temperature and humidity)
    • Active involvement in standardisation committees for improving the comfort and environmental compatibility of air-conditioning systems

    Our equipmentIf required, we will make use of our test laboratories to address your specific concerns, such as the climate testing laboratory in Minden, which is equipped with a stationary "MEikE" climate testing chamber.
