The track-guided vehicle has at least two side walls extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the track-guided vehicle, a floor area and a roof area, wherein the air supply duct system is arranged along or within one of the roof areas and / or the air conditioning unit is arranged in the roof area of ​​the track-guided vehicle and the air supply duct system in the roof area is parallel to the side walls in the longitudinal direction of the track-guided vehicle.

[0017] According to the invention, a method for operating an air supply system for a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport is further provided, comprising an air supply duct system with a plurality of openings arranged one behind the other in a longitudinal direction of the air supply duct system, wherein each opening is assigned an air supply flow, wherein the method comprises the following step: - adjusting the volume flow of at least one air supply flow of the air supply duct system differently.

[0018] According to the invention, a method for operating an air conditioning system for a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport is further provided, comprising such a method, or a method further developed as described below, for operating a supply air system. The air conditioning system includes the supply air system and an air conditioning unit for air conditioning the interior of the track-guided vehicle. The method comprises the following steps: - supplying the supply air duct system from the at least one air conditioning unit; adjusting the volume flow of the at least one supply air stream of the supply air duct system to create several air conditioning zones in the interior of the track-guided vehicle, preferably arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the supply air duct system.According to the invention, a computer program product is further provided which is to be used in a computer of an air supply system for an air conditioning system of a track-guided vehicle, a computer of an air conditioning system for a track-guided vehicle or in a computer of a track-guided vehicle with such an air supply system or air conditioning system, wherein the computer program product, when executed, causes the computer to carry out such a method or a further developed method as described below.

[0021] The interior of a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport can, for example, have a number of seats. These can be arranged in different seating configurations.

[0022] The at least one supply air stream can supply cold or warm air to the interior and is preferably supplied from the ceiling of the interior.

[0023] The air supply system is designed to supply air to the interior of the air conditioning unit.

[0024] This creates a system for the asymmetrical supply (or ventilation) of fresh air in the form of at least one supply air stream into the interior of the track-guided vehicle. The design according to the invention does not require manually adjustable nozzles or similar devices. Furthermore, the exhaust air can still be drawn homogeneously from the interior.

[0025] The further airflow in the interior is preferably determined by the asymmetrical supply of the supply air.

[0026] The multiple openings and at least one adjustable air supply flow allow for a response to asymmetrical loads such as solar radiation or uneven occupancy in the track-guided vehicle, especially in one of the cars of the track-guided vehicle.

[0027] This results in a more even temperature distribution in the interior.

[0028] The track-guided vehicle can in particular be a rail vehicle.

[0029] In an advantageous embodiment of the supply air system, it can be provided that several, preferably each, supply air stream of the supply air duct system can be adjusted differently in terms of volume flow.

[0030] This allows for greater variability in terms of the ability to divide the supply air flows.

[0031] In an advantageous embodiment of the supply air system, it can be provided that each opening is assigned an adjustment device for adjusting the supply air flows in the volume flow.

[0032] The invention proposes incorporating at least one adjustment device into the air supply system, which allows for the variable adjustment of the at least one air supply flow, thereby causing different amounts of air to flow through the respective openings. If the vehicle is unevenly occupied by passengers, air can be directed to the area where the higher load occurs along the longitudinal direction of the air supply system or the longitudinal direction of the track-guided vehicle to compensate for the increased load. This provides an embodiment that allows the at least one air supply flow to be adjusted so that it supplies the interior of the track-guided vehicle with air as needed, depending on the climate control zone.

[0033] The total supply air output can be constant (arbitrary, but fixed), so that the supply air system can form supply air flows of varying strengths in the longitudinal direction of the supply air system at a given operating point.

[0034] In an advantageous embodiment of the supply air system, it can be provided that the supply air system has at least one sensor assigned to the supply air duct system, preferably an indoor temperature sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is operationally connected to a control unit and the control unit is configured to adjust the at least one adjustment device, whereby at least one supply air flow of the supply air duct system can be adjusted in volume flow.

[0035] Preferably, several indoor temperature sensors are designed along or in the longitudinal direction of the supply air duct system to measure the respective indoor temperature.

[0036] The internal temperature sensors preferably detect temperature deviations along a longitudinal direction of the supply air duct system. If an asymmetrical load occurs, for example due to uneven occupancy, the sensors register a significant temperature deviation and the adjustment device is activated by the control unit.

[0037] As an alternative to temperature sensors in the interior, sensors for detecting occupancy of the vehicle interior, such as pressure sensors on the seats, are also possible for detecting the thermal load.

[0038] In an advantageous embodiment of the supply air system, it can be provided that the supply air system has several sensors, wherein each sensor is assigned to one or more opening(s) and / or one or more adjustment device(s).

[0039] This enables the sensors to control and / or regulate the supply air flows by assigning them to the individual openings and / or adjustment devices. In an advantageous embodiment of the supply air system, each opening may include a diffuser, and at least one adjustment device may include an actuator for changing the position of the diffusers to regulate the respective supply air flow within the volume flow of the supply air duct system.

[0040] This provides a configuration that is structurally simple and allows for reliable adjustment of the respective supply air flows.

[0041] In an advantageous embodiment of the track-guided vehicle, it can be provided that several climate control zones can be formed in the interior in the longitudinal direction of the track-guided vehicle, and wherein preferably at least one sensor, in particular an interior temperature sensor, is arranged in each climate control zone.

[0042] This allows for the creation of different climate control zones along the length of the track-guided vehicle, thus catering to the varying needs of passengers. It also ensures that a constant temperature is maintained throughout the vehicle's interior by varying the load distribution, preventing unpleasant drafts, localized cooling, or overheating in specific areas.

[0043] In an advantageous embodiment of the track-guided vehicle, it may be provided that several climate control zones are formed within an interior area. For example, several climate control zones may be formed within a space within the car body of a track-guided vehicle, such as a large compartment.

[0044] In an advantageous embodiment of the track-guided vehicle, it can be provided that the supply air system and / or the air conditioning system is designed in such a way that thermal unbalanced load compensation in the longitudinal direction of the track-guided vehicle can be achieved by dividing the supply air flow of the supply air duct system in the volume flow.

[0045] This allows the incoming air to be directed more towards an area of ​​the vehicle that is heated, for example, by sunlight or a high occupancy level, thus improving cooling of that area. This results in a more even temperature distribution within the interior. Previously, if an uneven load occurred within the vehicle, for example, due to one-sided sunlight, uneven occupancy, etc., such a longitudinal load could not be compensated for.

[0046] An unbalanced load exists, for example, when at least one air conditioning zone has a different thermal load than the other air conditioning zones.

[0047] Such an imbalance can be countered by adjusting the supply air flow in the form of an imbalance compensation, so that the required heating or cooling capacity is supplied to the corresponding air conditioning zones and the imbalance is compensated, or can be compensated.
