Transport for London (TfL) is now trialling a state-of-the-art cooling panel on a disused platform at Holborn station to test its suitability for reducing temperatures on the deep Tube network -...
London Underground cooling. In summer, temperatures on parts of the London Underground can become very uncomfortable due to its deep and poorly ventilated tube tunnels: temperatures as high as 47 °C (117 °F) were reported in the 2006 European heatwave. [1]
22 lip 2022 · Trials of an innovative cooling system for deep-level Tube lines have started, Transport for London (TfL) says. Following this week's record-breaking temperatures which caused widespread ...
22 cze 2020 · The impact of heat is a major concern for the London Underground (LU) by Transport for London (TfL) both now and in future, but existing studies are limited to passenger comfort on the deep tube and do not focus on infrastructure or the vast majority of the network, which is in fact above ground.
1 kwi 2004 · This part of the paper reviews published work on thermal comfort for the underground railway environment. The results will be correlated with the percentage of dissatisfied passengers due to the thermal conditions within the underground railway system.
13 sie 2021 · This review paper highlights some key challenges for assessing the risk, including: managing uncertainties; understanding weather-impact relationships and how they could change with climate change; assessing the costs of current and future weather impacts and the potential cost versus benefit of adaptation; and understanding practices and tools ...
1 sty 2022 · Here we critically examine the use of two potential water sources – subterranean river flow and pumped groundwater from the Chalk aquifer – to supply pumped water-heat exchanger systems to cool the London Underground network. First, suitable localities were identified using GIS.
