The R-32s Underwent the GOH in 1988-1990. So there are at least 4 factors to consider.1) At the time not all B division cars were air conditioned so tunnels were not as hot as they are today. 2) In addition, the R-32s were used on the "E" or "F". On the "E", the run was much shorter and on the "F" was not under ground for the entire trip. 3)Also, the HVAC systems were new and were far more efficient than they are after more than 20 years of service. 4) Many of the original compressor motors have been changed out since GOH. I am not aware whether the original motors had the thermal overloads that the new motors have. |
