A passenger transport vehicle, such as a rail vehicle, has at least one sanitary module and at least one fan for conveying waste air from the sanitary module. A control unit controls the volumetric flow of waste air from the sanitary module. The control unit is formed for at least two volumetric flows of waste air, which differ from one another and differ from zero. The volumetric flows are conveyed by the at least one fan, at least on the basis of a state of the sanitary module.

A fluid flow control valve includes a valve body, a closing member arranged in the valve body and configured so that it can have at least one first position, called the open position, in which it allows the flow of fluid to flow freely in the valve body, and at least one second position, called the closed position, in which it prevents the fluid flow from flowing in the valve body between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, an electric actuator of the closing member that is suitable for being able to control the position of the closing member in the valve body, characterized in that the electric actuator is arranged in the valve body so that it can be cooled by the flow of fluid flowing in the valve body.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a side wall component of a railway vehicle, and a railway vehicle. The side wall component of a railway vehicle includes: a side wall, including a side wall body; and a plurality of side wall upright columns, connected with the side wall body respectively, the plurality of side wall upright columns being provided along a length direction of the side wall body at an interval, wherein an auxiliary air duct of the railway vehicle is formed between at least two side wall upright columns and the side wall body in the length direction of the side wall body. The embodiment of the present disclosure enables the railway vehicle to be compact in structure.

An air flow regulator for a railway vehicle is configured so that the rattling of bars can be prevented without using welding, an affixation member, etc. An intake grill is provided at an intake opening for sucking air from an interior of a railway vehicle. The intake grill includes a frame, bars, and a reinforcement capable of deforming the bars. The frame defines an outer edge of the intake opening. The bars are plate-shaped members spanned between portions of the frame to connect the portions to each other. The reinforcement elastically deforms the bars to generate reaction force therein.

A health protection system and a method for passengers on a train in a polluted indoor environment are provided. The health protection system includes a basic data acquisition module, an outdoor air quality prediction module, an indoor air quality prediction module, and a ventilation strategy generation module, wherein the basic data acquisition module acquires basic data; the outdoor air quality prediction module predicts outdoor air quality of the train; the indoor air quality prediction module predicts indoor air quality of the train; and the ventilation strategy generation module generates a ventilation strategy and achieves health protection of the passengers on the train. The method includes: predicting indoor and outdoor air quality data information of the train according to the acquired indoor and outdoor air quality data of the train; and generating a corresponding ventilation strategy according to the indoor and outdoor air quality data of the train.

An electrically operated vehicle includes a braking resistor in a heat sink cover. The heat sink cover has an air throughflow body having vent openings and an air throughflow direction perpendicular to a direction of travel of the vehicle. The heat sink cover includes an inlet flap on an air inflow side and an outlet flap on an air outflow side. An opening mechanism opens and closes the flaps. In the closed state, the flaps are oriented along the direction of travel and obliquely to the air throughflow direction. In a plan view of the vent openings, the vent openings are at least 90% covered by the flaps in the closed state and at most 60% covered by the flaps in the opened state. The flaps are disposed symmetrically to a vehicle center axis, and the vent openings are oriented parallel to side surfaces of the vehicle.

Embodiments of the disclosure can relate to a ceiling mounted air distribution system for a railcar. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a ceiling-mounted air distribution plenum may include: a diffuser configured to transmit air to at least one first air channel, the at least one first air channel having a first end configured to couple to the diffuser, a second end distal from the first end; at least one second air channel disposed proximate to and longitudinally with the at least one first air channel, the at least one second air channel having a first end configured to couple to the diffuser, a second end distal from the first end, and at least one air distribution hole, and at least one channel divider disposed to separate the at least one first air channel and the at least one second air channel.

A fluid flow control valve includes a valve body, a closing member arranged in the valve body and configured so that it can have at least one first position, called the open position, in which it allows the flow of fluid to flow freely in the valve body, and at least one second position, called the closed position, in which it prevents the fluid flow from flowing in the valve body between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, an electric actuator of the closing member that is suitable for being able to control the position of the closing member in the valve body, characterized in that the electric actuator is arranged in the valve body so that it can be cooled by the flow of fluid flowing in the valve body.

A ventilation module for a rail vehicle contains a housing having an air inlet, an air outlet, a dust discharge opening, a first cleaning station in an upper region of the housing, a cyclone separator which has a dust outlet and a cyclone air outlet. A second cleaning stage is disposed in a central region of the housing, which is arranged underneath the first cleaning stage such that air from the cyclone air outlet can reach the second cleaning stage. A dust discharge channel is connected to the dust outlet and is arranged in the central region. A dust discharge fan is set up to extract air and dust from the dust discharge channel and to remove the same through the dust discharge opening. A machine room fan is arranged in a lower region of the housing and is set up to extract air through the second cleaning station.

The present invention relates to a power car (10) for a high-speed train, comprising a body (12) and at least one power car of said body, said body comprising a roof (19) and a floor (20); the traction motor being arranged below said floor, the body further comprising an equipment room (24) defined between said roof and said floor, said technical room including: electrical equipment (33) for controlling the traction motor; and at least one fan device (34) of said electrical equipment. The ventilation device comprises: an air intake sheath (36), forming a closed pipe between an inlet (38) and an outlet (40) open on the equipment room; and a fan (42) arranged between the inlet and the outlet, so as to create an overpressure in the technical room.
