Asfordby to be used to test air conditioned tube trains
There's a BBC report at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/leicestershire/6466501.stm that the test track at Asfordby will be used to test the next generation of tube trains which will be fitted with air conditioning. Surely using energy to pump heat out of the trains into the tunnels will just increase the temperature there. Has a solution to the problem of cooling the system as a whole been found? I have heard groundwater mentioned as a possible heat sink but building and running a full system would be horribly expensive. -- Goalie of the Century |
