Based on Guangzhou Underground Railway Line 6, during July and August, monitors the power consumption of train air conditioners by installing ammeters in the electrical box at the bottom of a train. After analysing the data, finds that the power consumption of train air conditioners accounts for about 86% of the power consumption of train auxiliary equipment and about 21% of the total power consumption of the train. The ratio of the power consumption of train air conditioners to the traction power consumption is about 2∶8, and the average power consumption per unit distance of train air conditioners is 2.90 kWh/km. In the short-term, the track heat removal system has little effect on the power consumption of train air conditioners.
