COVID-19 Advice For Bus Air Conditioning Systems
Corunclima offers recommendations about climate control to protect passengers and drivers in the age of Coronavirus, alongside observing current general rules for hygiene and social distancing.
Measures intended to protect against coronavirus infections have been set up in most public places, from banks to supermarkets to factories and offices. The health of passengers and drivers is also a top priority in coaches and city/intercity buses.
What should be done to minimise the risk of infection in the passenger area?
Firstly,to reduce the possibility of the virus spreading throughout the passenger area in the bus’s air-conditioning system. the ac should only be used in fresh-air mode – where possible – and without recirculation. Also, the system should not be manually switched off, as this only shuts off the refrigerant compressor and not the blower. To avoid reducing the amount of fresh air in the passenger area, the blower speed should also not be manually decreased.
For buses with service sets [individual seat panel ventilation louvres], we recommend closing these before the start of a trip. This can help to put passengers more at ease, as they will no longer be hit by a direct flow of air. Instead, the air will only come from the vents in the roof duct. To increase air purity, the interior air filters in the roof-mounted air-conditioning system and the front box should also be replaced at regular, short intervals.”
How does a bus air-conditioning system generally work?
The setpoint temperature in the passenger area is regulated using heating elements in the passenger area; these are situated both under the seats and on the side walls. The front box and roof-mounted air-conditioning system also help to maintain the setpoint temperature. With these, the proportion of fresh and recirculated air is regulated according to the ambient conditions using ‘passenger area control’. Here, the air is filtered through interior air filters installed as standard and, to some extent, with activated carbon filters. Further on, the used air is discharged through separate ducts. With active ventilation, the used air is permanently purged from the vehicle interior through these ducts, which guarantees seamless air circulation.”
In addition, bus drivers and operators should ensure that grab handles and poles in particular are regularly disinfected. We also think it's very sensible to practise good hygiene and provide sanitiser by the bus entrance.”
