Application of Cables in Automotive Air Conditioning Systems
1. Scene Introduction
With the continuous development and improvement of urban rail transit systems, the importance of train air conditioning system is becoming more and more prominent as a key system to ensure passenger comfort and the internal environment of the train. As a key component connecting air conditioning equipment, control system and power supply, the performance and quality of train air conditioning system cables are directly related to the stable operation of the air conditioning system and passengers’ riding experience. Therefore, professional rail transit train air conditioning system cable solutions are particularly important.
2. Pain point analysis
In the rail transit train air conditioning system, the use of cables often face the following pain points:
High weather resistance requirements: the train operating environment is variable, the cable needs to withstand the impact of different climatic conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc., to maintain stable electrical performance.
High mechanical strength requirements: the train will produce vibration and impact in the process of traveling, the cable needs to have enough mechanical strength to cope with these challenges.
Signal transmission stability requirements: air conditioning system involves a number of control signal transmission, the cable needs to ensure accurate and fast transmission of signals to avoid signal interference or attenuation leading to system misoperation.
3.The train air conditioning system on the cable requirements
For the special needs of rail transit train air conditioning system, the cable needs to meet the following requirements:
Excellent weathering performance: able to operate stably in a variety of harsh climatic conditions, resisting the erosion of ultraviolet rays, high temperature, low temperature and other natural factors.
High mechanical strength: sufficient tensile, bending and vibration resistance to ensure stable operation during train travel.
Low impedance and low attenuation: Ensure efficient and stable transmission of power and signal, reduce energy loss and signal distortion.
4.Certification Standards
The cable products in this solution comply with the following international and domestic certification standards:
IEC 60349: the international standard for railroad vehicle cables, which strictly stipulates the electrical performance, mechanical performance and environmental adaptability of cables.
EN 50264 EN45545: European standard for cables used in rail transit, with specific requirements for flame retardancy, oil resistance and other aspects of the cable.
RoHS: A directive restricting the use of certain hazardous substances to ensure that cables are environmentally friendly during production and use.
GB/T 12706 is a Chinese national standard mainly applicable to extruded insulated power cables and their accessories with rated voltage from 1kV to 35kV.
TB/T 3159 is the Chinese railway industry standard, specifically for rolling stock cables.
In addition, TST CABLES products have been certified by quality management system (such as ISO 9001), environmental management system (such as ISO 14001) and product certification.
5.Cable Selection
According to the specific needs of the air conditioning system of rail transit trains, we recommend the following cable options:
Low smoke and halogen-free flame retardant cables: with special materials and structural design, they have excellent flame retardant performance and low smoke and halogen-free characteristics to ensure that the release of smoke and hazardous substances is reduced in emergencies such as fires.
High-strength flexible cable: with high flexibility and excellent mechanical properties, it can adapt to the requirements of train vibration and bending, and at the same time ensure the stable transmission of power and signal.
Selection parameters for reference (can be customized according to actual needs)
Temperature resistance: -50°C to 125°C
Rated voltage: 600V
Insulation strength: >10MPa
Elongation at break: >125%

High-precision tinned copper, excellent conductivity and long service life.
6.Product characteristics
The cable products in this solution have the following characteristics:
Excellent weather resistance: special materials and technologies are used to improve the weather resistance of the cables and ensure stable operation under various climatic conditions.
High Mechanical Strength: The cable structure is sturdy enough to withstand train forces such as vibration, shock and bending, ensuring the integrity and electrical performance of the cable.
Low impedance and low attenuation: Optimized cable conductor and insulation materials reduce impedance and attenuation to ensure efficient transmission of power and signals.
Recommended Products
Vehicle air conditioning system cables are tensile resistant and well insulated, and are an important component for transmitting control signals and power between the air conditioning unit, temperature sensors and control module
7.Technical Tests
To ensure that the quality and performance of the cables meet the requirements of aircraft air-conditioning systems, TST CABLES conducts a series of rigorous technical tests. These tests include electrical performance tests, environmental adaptability tests, flame retardant performance tests, etc. to ensure that the cable meets or exceeds international aviation standards in all performance indicators.
