Subway Environmental Simulation Program and Subway Environmental Design Handbook Validation Through Field Testing. Part 1: Underplatform Exhaust System and Train Borne Resistor Grid Test Program

摘要

The report covers the testing of the underplatform exhaust systems and train-borne, resistor grid banks. To evaluate the performance of the exhaust systems, tests were performed on the installed systems in typical, operating stations in the WMATA subway system. The report describes the facility design and experimental program. A presentation of test results and interpretations is included. Test results are compared with corresponding SEDH data. That a relationship exists between underplatform exhaust system efficiency and length of train dwell was confirmed.
