Shield Tunneling Machine Air Conditioning Unit
Tunnel Boring Machine Air Conditioning Unit
Our company has developed an air-conditioning system that combines external-loop cooling‑water refrigeration with forced‑draft cooling air to lower temperatures at the tunnel face. Building on conventional external-loop cooling and tunnel ventilation, this system installs air-conditioning units directly on the tunnel boring machine. The tunnel ventilation airflow is passed through an air cooler, and the cooled air is delivered via the secondary ventilation system to the working face—specifically, the segment‑assembly area. The outlet temperature of the secondary fan can reach 20°C, which is 10–12°C lower than ambient conditions, effectively reducing temperatures in the work zone and improving the construction environment.

Equipment Introduction
Equipment Introduction
Our company has developed an air-conditioning system that combines external-loop cooling‑water refrigeration with forced‑air cooling to lower the temperature at tunnel‑section working faces. Building on conventional external‑loop cooling and tunnel ventilation, the system is installed directly on the tunnel boring machine. It cools the tunnel ventilation airflow in an air cooler and then delivers the cooled air through the secondary ventilation system to the construction work area—specifically, the segment‑assembly zone. The outlet temperature of the secondary fan can reach 20°C, which is 10–12°C lower than ambient conditions, effectively reducing temperatures in the work zone and improving the construction environment.
The chiller unit and insulated water tank are mounted on the first level of the carriage; their dimensions can be freely customized to fit the existing space of the tunnel boring machine, and the relative positions of the chiller, pumps, and water tank can be flexibly adjusted. The air cooler is installed on the second level of the carriage, connected in series with the ductwork; its size can match that of the carriage’s existing ducts, meaning that wherever a duct can be installed, the air cooler can also be accommodated, completely unaffected by the limited space on the second level.
