Control method for air conditioning and ventilation system for a train set in the event of a fire

摘要

If a train set constituted by a plurality of cars stops in a tunnel, air containing smoke from a burning car is exhausted into the tunnel, and as a result smoke fills the tunnel which serves as an evacuation route, making evacuation from within the tunnel difficult because of the pervasive smoke. As a control method for an air conditioning and ventilation system of a train set (1), constituted from a plurality of cars each having installed therein an air conditioning device (30) and a ventilation device (40), the following control is performed: the location at which the train set (1) is stopped is detected when a fire occurs on the train set (1); if the stopped position is inside of a tunnel, the air conditioning devices (30) and the ventilation devices (40) installed in the burning car and the cars adjacent to the burning car are stopped; and if the stopped position is in an area outside a tunnel, the running of the ventilation device (40) of the burning car is continued, and the air conditioning device (30) of the burning car and the air conditioning devices (30) and ventilation devices (40) of adjacent cars are stopped.
