Controls and Temperature UniformityThe HVAC system excluding the driver’s heater/defroster shall be centrally controlled with an advanced electronic/diagnostic control system with provisions for extracting/reading data. The system shall be compliant with J1939 Communication Protocol for receiving and broadcasting of data. Hot engine coolant water shall be delivered to the HVAC system driver’s defroster/heater and other heater cores by means of an auxiliary coolant pump, sized for the required flow, which is brushless and sealless having a minimum maintenance-free service life for both the brushless motor and the pump of at least 40,000 hours at full power. Default Manual Mode Selection of Climate Control System After manual selection and/or activation of climate control system operation mode, all interior climate control system requirements for the selected mode shall be attained automatically to within ±2 °F of specified temperature control setpoint.
Fully Automatic Climate Control System The climate control system shall be fully automatic and control the interior average temperature to within ±2 °F of specified temperature control setpoint.
Single Control Setpoint at 70 °F The temperature control setpoint for the system shall be 70 °F.
Dual-Temperature Control Set Point The temperature control setpoint for the system shall be [insert temperature]°F in the cooling mode and [insert temperature] °F in the heating mode.
Manually Adjustable Temperature Control Set Point The climate control system shall have the provision to allow the driver to adjust the temperature control setpoint at a minimum of between 68 and 72 °F. From then on, all interior climate control system requirements shall be attained automatically, unless re-adjusted by the driver. The driver shall have full control over the defroster and driver’s heater. The driver shall be able to adjust the temperature in the driver’s area through air distribution and fans. The interior climate control system shall switch automatically to the ventilating mode if the refrigerant compressor or condenser fan fails. Interior temperature distribution shall be uniform to the extent practicable to prevent hot and/or cold spots. After stabilization with doors closed, the temperatures between any two points in the passenger compartment in the same vertical plane, and 6 to 72 in. above the floor, shall not vary by more than 5 °F with doors closed. The interior temperatures, measured at the same height above the floor, shall not vary more than ±5 °F from the front to the rear from the average temperature determined in accordance with APTA’s “Recommended Instrumentation and Performance Testing for Transit Bus Air Conditioning System.” Variations of greater than ±5 °F will be allowed for limited, localized areas provided that the majority of the measured temperatures fall within the specified requirement.
No auxiliary heater. Alternative Auxiliary Heater An auxiliary heater fired by diesel fuel shall be provided to supplement the heat supplied by the engine and shall have an output necessary to meet the performance criteria. The heater shall be equipped with safety devices to prevent overfueling, overheating due to loss of coolant or water pump failure, and operation during conditions of low battery voltage. The auxiliary heater shall have capability of functioning in the supplemental mode and preheat mode. The supplemental mode shall automatically cycle the auxiliary heater “on” and “off” according to the coolant temperature. No driver input shall be required when the engine is running. The preheat mode shall be enabled through a single-pole double-throw momentary switch. With the master run switch in the “off” position, toggling the switch to its momentary upward (“on”) position shall enable the auxiliary heater to operate in preheat. Once in preheat, the unit shall continue to operate and cycle until either the preheat switch is toggled to its momentary downward (“off”) position, or the master run switch is turned “on,” or the time elapsed exceeds 60 minutes, at which time the preheat mode will automatically be disabled. The supplement mode will always override the preheat mode. The auxiliary heater coolant pump shall shut down when the coolant is up to temperature during the supplemental mode. With the engine running, there shall be coolant flow through the heater all the time. The temperature sensor shall constantly measure the coolant temperature and cycle “on” if required, at which time the coolant pump turns on. The auxiliary heater shall be equipped with a self-priming fuel pump. The unit shall be electronically controlled with appropriate diagnostics for troubleshooting. Operation, as well as diagnostic data, shall be stored and shall be retrievable through an IBM compatible PC. The auxiliary heater maintenance/diagnostic information shall be communicated through the appropriate protocol, SAE J1708 or J1939. Air FlowPassenger AreaThe cooling mode of the interior climate control system shall introduce air into the bus at or near the ceiling height at a minimum rate of 25 cubic ft per minute (cfm) per passenger based on the standard configuration bus carrying a number of passengers equal to 150 percent of the seated load. Airflow shall be evenly distributed throughout the bus, with air velocity not exceeding 100 ft per minute on any passenger. The ventilating mode shall provide air at a minimum flow rate of 20 cfm per passenger. Airflow may be reduced to 15 cfm per passenger (150 percent of seated load) when operating in the heating mode. The fans shall not activate until the heating element has warmed sufficiently to ensure at least 70 °F air outlet temperature. The heating air outlet temperature shall not exceed 120 °F under any normal operating conditions. The climate control blower motors and fan shall be designed such that their operation complies with the interior noise level requirements.
No “Fresh Air” Requirements To be used by agencies that have an operating profile where the door opening cycle results in effectively providing an adequate “fresh air” mixture.
Requirement for 10Percent“Fresh Air” Mixture The air shall be composed of no less than 10 percent outside air.
