FTTC cabs and weather
« on: July 01, 2019, 06:29:03 AM »

This thread https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,23590.msg398991.html#msg398991 takes about the effects of cold and damp in FTTC cabs and also mentions constraints on cabs’ capabilities because of heat output. What happens in the extremely hot weather we have been having? Do those involved have to make some extremely conservative paranoid assumptions about weather and worst-case rare maximum temperatures?

The sun shining down on those green cabs all day is not going to help at all. Making them reflective would help, as would putting a heat shade over them. Perhaps they already do have one, a double skin? A temperature sensitive smart fan would help surely. And as for condensation - why let the moist cold air in at all if it is going to bring in condensation? Let wet warm air out, but if you need to keep temperatures up just close the vents to keep the heat in rather than having warming pads on. I suppose you could turn the warming pads on later if things get really bad.

They should go faster or have better capabilities in the frozen north, no?
