into account when designing equipment and in provision of the Maintenance
Services:
Temperature:
Average daily range 5C (most months)
Average maximum shade temperature 32.8C (July, August, September)
Maximum shade temperature 36.1C (August)
Minimum shade temperature 0C (January)
Rainfall:
Maximum annual 3000mm
Minimum annual 900mm
Average annual 2200mm
Maximum recorded intensity 320mm/h
Wind:
A B
For Structural For Operational
Purposes Purposes
Maximum hourly wind speed 133km/h 115km/h
Maximum design gust speed 230km/h 160km/h
Sunshine:
Average daily duration of bright sunshine
Minimum 3 hours (March)
Maximum 7 hours (July-October)
Relative Humidity:
Maximum average 87% at 0630 hours (summer months)
Minimum average 60% at 1230 hours (November)
2.2 Environmental Control System
2.2.1 During normal traffic hours the enclosed public areas of all underground
stations are air-conditioned or ventilated to achieve the required temperature
and humidity depending on the ambient conditions. Public areas of above
ground stations are only mechanically ventilated. Tunnel ventilation is
achieved primarily by train movement, which draws outside air via the
ventilation shafts, station boxes and tunnel portals into the tunnels behind trains
and propel tunnel air to the atmosphere via vent shafts, tunnel portals and
station boxes ahead. For some long tunnel sections, ventilation is provided by
mid-tunnel ventilation plant. Air handling units are used in air-conditioned
MS-GS-I1R26 2-1
Confidential
Issue : 1
stations to cool the mixture of station return air and make-up fresh air before
passing to the passenger areas.
2.2.2 Impulse fans are provided in station boxes, tunnels and ventilation buildings to
maintain air flow when trains are stopped in tunnels. The ventilation system
will be capable of exhausting smoke-laden air from stations and tunnels in the
event of fire.
2.3 Tunnel Conditions
2.3.1 The tunnel ventilation system outlined in Clause 2.2 was designed to maintain
the tunnel temperature within the following limits under the operating
conditions listed.
Normal Operation  35C

Congested Operation  40C (average)
2.3.2 The design condition is 50% RH to 75% RH at 33C in summer. When the
outside ambient temperature is less than maximum the tunnel ambient
temperature will fall accordingly. The rolling stock is air-conditioned.
2.3.3 Due to water seepage, tunnel walls may be wet and free water may normally be
present in the invert. Equipment supplied shall therefore be capable of
operating in such wet conditions.
2.4 Station Conditions
2.4.1 The average design indoor temperature for the station concourse and platform
of air-conditioned stations during normal traffic hours ranges from 26C to
30C for the general public areas when the outside ambient is 33C. When the
outside ambient temperature is less than this, the station ambient will fall
accordingly. Air-conditioning systems for station public areas are not operated
during the non traffic hours. Some equipment rooms in stations and depots are
also air-conditioned.
2.5 Ambient Conditions for Equipment Rating
2.5.1 The ambient conditions under which equipment will be required to function at
the rated level and on which type tests will be based, unless otherwise stated,
are:
Temperature 40C
Relative humidity 95% (Non-condensing)
2.5.2 Certain equipment will need to be rated at more onerous conditions as required
by the Particular Specification and all equipment may be required to operate at
a higher temperature and humidity under short term abnormal conditions.

Confidential
Issue : 1
2.5.3 There will be considerable moisture content in the air throughout the system
and the atmosphere will be salt-laden and corrosive. All equipment shall be
tropicalised and vermin proofed.
2.5.4 All equipment shall be designed to perform in a satisfactory manner in the

environment in which it is installed and to withstand the effects of high winds,
temperature, humidity, dust, vibration, noise and both water and air pollution.
2.5.5 The system shall be designed such that the continual noise generated by the
installed system shall not exceed a NR value stated measured at 1 metre from
any item of the installed system. The maximum NR values shall be:-
In rooms normally occupied by MTRCL staff NR 45

In all areas designated as public areas NR 55
In all other areas NR 65

Distribution system 11 kV 3 phase 50 Hz+10% -2.5%
L.V. supply 415 V 3 phase 50 Hz±6%
240 V 1 phase 50 Hz±6%
Overhead Current Supply Nominal 1500V DC
for traction Normal Maximum 1800V DC

3.2 It should be noted that the L.V. supply voltages on the railway differ from the present
domestic standards in Hong Kong which are:
346 or 380 V 3 phase 50 Hz

200 or 220 V 1 phase 50 Hz
A phased conversion to the higher voltage is in progress.
3.3 It should also be noted that L.V. supply voltages on the rolling stock are generated at
440V 3 phase 60 Hz.
