Test and Analysis on the Thermal Environment of Island Subway Platform in Frosty Area

in order to study the piston wind and its effect on the thermal environment and velocity field in island subway station platform with full-height non-enclosed screen doors, a number of field measurements were taken at the platform of century station of metro line 2 in Shenyang from Oct. 2012 to Mar. 2013. The test results show that the full-height non-enclosed screen doors enhances the heat transfer between the platform and the tunnel, the effect of piston wind increases the average temperature of platform by 0.7°C-1.4°C. Meanwhile, the full-height non-enclosed screen doors prevent the piston wind from entering into the platform effectively. The wind speed of the platform fluctuates between 0.25~0.52m/s when no train enters or leaves the platform, increasing slightly under the effect of the outdoor wind velocity. When one-way train goes into and out of the site, the maximum wind speed reaches up to 2.2m/s at the working area of platform. While, the wind speed of the stair section shows cyclical shocks between 1.2m/s ~ 1.7m/s with the amplitude attenuates gradually.The two-way train caused the the maximum wind speed up to 2m/s with the duration of 220s.
