Q: What are vestibule heaters?
A: Vestibule heaters are electric heating units designed to maintain comfortable and safe temperatures in enclosed rail compartments, such as vestibules and passenger entry areas. They provide consistent and reliable warmth, prevent condensation and ensure energy efficiency in all weather conditions.
Q: What are bodyside heaters used for?
A: Bodyside heaters are typically mounted within the train body to heat internal spaces and surfaces. They work alongside vestibule heaters to distribute heat evenly throughout carriages, improving passenger comfort and protecting equipment from temperature fluctuations.
