Summary

Describes the use of a thermoelectric cooling and cold-energy recovery device for summer air conditioning of a train carriage. The cold-energy recovery device is a countercurrent heat exchanger. Describes the air conditioning system in terms of a heat exchanger network for which computer software (GOLAM2-R) has been developed. Reports that six different control scenarios for the energy system have been simulated. Finds that using the cold-energy recovery device produces a higher COP than an increase in the Peltier coefficient for the thermoelectric cooler or an increase of the insulation thickness of the train carriage wall.
