Quality Components
- The Thermo King LRV Range is an efficient, self-contained environmental control unit consisting of compressors, evaporator coil, condenser coils, condenser fan, heavy-duty blowers and a control box. The components are fitted into a low-profile frame for roof mounting.
- Scroll Compressors: Fully hermetic scroll compressors operate in tandem, offering high efficiency, low maintenance and quiet operation.
- Evaporator Coil: Two TXV valves allow better performance through a wide range of cooling capacity requirements.
- Control Box: The control box contains the microprocessor-based controller, circuit breakers, overload relays, contactors and more. All necessary sensors are pre-installed in the unit.
- Heavy-Duty Blowers: High pressure, heavy-duty blowers are designed to deliver maximum airflow throughout the car.
- Condenser Fan/Motor: The condenser fan/motor has specially designed propeller blades for maximum airflow capacity.
- Condenser Coils: Lacquer-coated condenser coils offer high anti-corrosion protection.
Passenger Comfort Guaranteed!
- Customer Requirements: At Thermo King, customers’ requirements are paramount. We analyze and apply all of the requirements in our units, thus delivering a quality product that keeps passengers comfortable.
- Temperature Management: Light rail cars are subject to frequent door openings, which can cause a rapid rise in cabin temperature. The LRV Range, with its microprocessor controller, reduces the temperature swiftly to maintain passenger comfort.
- Humidity Reduction: The LRV Range microprocessor controller controls the unit to maintain optimum relative humidity.
- Environmentally Balanced Controls: The LRV Range is designed and programmed to function in relationship to the outside environment. The ambient environment is calculated for the worst case conditions of temperature, relative humidity, latitude and elevation, ensuring that the unit will maintain optimum passenger comfort anywhere in the world.
