Description

Technical Field

[0002] As high-speed trains continue to increase in speed, the heat generated by electronic components in the train's equipment compartment increases significantly, making the ventilation and heat dissipation system a crucial guarantee for the reliability of train operation. Currently, high-speed train equipment compartments employ various optimized ventilation and heat dissipation schemes. Among them, "running air cooling" technology utilizes the airflow generated during train operation to drive cooling air, replacing or assisting mechanical fans for heat dissipation. However, while running air cooling can reduce fan operating power, it alters the overall aerodynamic characteristics of the train to some extent, leading to an increase in total train drag and thus increasing traction energy consumption.
