Historically, hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants with high global warming potential have been used in bus and rail air conditioning (GWP).
Public transportation that uses these obsolete refrigerants emits harmful emissions that can harm the environment, contributing to global warming and ozone depletion.
The performance of an air conditioning system is determined by the refrigerant it employs. When it comes to public transportation comfort cooling, it’s especially important to use a high-performing refrigerant that can withstand continuous use and keep passengers comfortable.
To maintain comfortable, healthy environments, these bus and rail systems require reliable, consistent, and efficient air conditioning (AC) systems that operate in a variety of conditions. To provide continuous, efficient cooling, public transportation relies on refrigerants.
The Global Rail AC refrigerant market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Opteon refrigerants, a new generation of non-ozone depleting hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-based refrigerants, have a GWP that is up to 99% lower than that of many of the HFC and HCFC refrigerants they replace. In addition, they provide the best balance of properties, safety, and performance for bus and rail AC systems.
Freon refrigerants have almost universally been used in the bus and rail industries to provide consistent high-performance cooling. While some older systems, such as those that used R-12 or R-22, have been retrofitted or replaced with R-134a, others now use Freon 407C, Freon MO99 and Freon NU-22 BTM.
MEKT creates air-conditioning systems for the rail and tramway industries. In terms of both quality and technology, the company manufactures air conditioners of the highest calibre.
It boasts a diverse range of systems, all custom designed and manufactured based on the specific type of vehicle – regional trains, EMUs and DMUs, double-deck trains, locomotives for high-speed trains, suburban trains, underground trains, and trams – the various services provided, and the various types of installation.
MEKT’s air conditioners are now even more powerful and efficient. The company was able to improve the COP of its products, which is the relationship between the fridge’s cooling power (cooling kW) and suction capacity.
