Cooling Systems for Quieter Surface Transport
Cooling Systems
An important subsystem in surface transportation vehicles (rail bound, automotive and heavy duty) is the cooling unit. Present European standards for interoperability of rail bound traffic require low noise levels while manufactures need to meet the vehicle performance and energy efficiency requested by the operators. The stringent EU6 emission limits expected to come into effect will increase dramatically the demand for cooling power in road vehicles without accepting a noise penalty. Manufacturers need innovative methods for reducing costs of development and testing and thus further improving their competitiveness in the global market.
