ABSTRACT:
A ventilation control device for a high-speed train carriage is operable in conjunction with a ventilating blower. A deflectable spring flap is mounted to extend across the ventilation duct in the air flow path. When deflection of the flap reaches a threshold level corresponding to possible passenger discomfort, the flap operates a limit switch positioned behind it. This activates a driving solenoid to close a shutter which shuts off the flow through the duct. A timer holds the shutter closed for a predetermined period, after which it is re-opened. Use of a microprocessor-controlled continuous sensor and damper can thereby be avoided, while cutting out very large pressure fluctuations.
