Air Conditioning Condenser for railroad passenger cars
An NW-B153616 undergoing testing at Northwest Rail ElectricThe NW-B153616 is specifically designed to meet the needs of railroad passenger cars. Unlike our popular NW-100-CN series of condensers, there is no compressor, as this unit is designed for situations where the existing compressor is satisfactory for the needs of the car. Such situations have included:
cases where more condenser coil capacity is required (condenser coil sized wrong by original installer of equipment, or operating environment of the car changed from, for example, Alaska to Arizona after air conditioning was installed) cases where the condesner coil and air conditioning compressor are in two different locations Features of our condenser include:
- Unit enclosure is powder coat - a melted plastic finish that is superior to paint in this type of railroad application.
- Coil made of rugged, widely spaced fins that will not clog or break as easily as refrigeration coils that are designed for stationary use.
- Fans are controlled by pressure switches, so that they only run when necessary to cool the refrigerant.
- Refrigerant receiver built into unit.
- Fans are made of highly engineered plastic, which will not corrode or rust.
For most passenger car rebuilding projects our NW-100-CN series of condensers offer a better solution as they include the air conditioning compressor as well as the condenser coil and pressure switches all in a single unit. THe NW-B153616 Air Conditioning Condenser, however, has found a place in a surprising number of passenger cars where just an air conditioning condenser was required.
