Methodological approach to determining the area of air recycling on metro lines with double track tunnels

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of operating existing metro lines with double-track tunnels. Significant differences between average annual, average monthly and extreme values of outdoor air temperature affecting the thermodynamic and thermophysical parameters of the mine atmosphere of subway tunnels, both in Russia and abroad, are analyzed. The results of a comprehensive analysis of the conditions that determine the temperature regime of the lines of double-track tunnels are presented. Air recirculation in the tunnels has been determined considering climatic conditions. Engineering and technical calculations have been carried out in metro tunnels when the seasonal periods of their operation change. Each of these periods is characterized by its own temperature, for example, for the winter period these are: average winter temperatures, temperatures of the coldest month, the coldest five-day period. The obtained results of the research work will make it possible to select the amount of air for each specific variant of the year, which will ensure, during the operation of this kind of metro lines, the standard thermodynamic parameters of the air environment, both in underground stations and in metro tunnels, and possibly lead to a positive economic effect.
