Title: How do the heating systems work on HSTs and Turbos....... Post by: Mookiemoo on October 13, 2009, 19:07:08 So far today I have been:
1. Frozen to death on the 0624 from WOS to RDG 2. Boiled alive on the 0834 RDG to wokingham 3. Had my nips frozen off from crowthorne to RDG 4. And am now in hell's furnace on the 1821 RDG to WOS So thats two HST and two turbo - and none of them consistent.......... Title: Re: How do the heating systems work on HSTs and Turbos....... Post by: dog box on October 13, 2009, 20:54:11 You need to bear in mind that the HST is now an old train and thus the climate control is very basic indeed its either on or off. there is a heating setting and a cooling setting with no adjustment . what usually happens is when the filters block up, if the system set to heating it keeps on heating and the other way around.
thats all i know about it, and as for turbos i guess they are somewhat similar Title: Re: How do the heating systems work on HSTs and Turbos....... Post by: smithy on October 13, 2009, 21:11:32 turbos are done via the engine coolant and temp sensors/thermostats in saloon controlling when fans come on if they are still working after the summer period.
hst are electric and as said controlled by the old climate control system they are probably only just starting to check the operation of these as winterisation period runs october through to march.

It has two settings: On or Off ;D
