Tunnel Booster Fan - TBF
• Two nos. of fans are suspended from ceiling in
each tunnel with intake and discharge cylindrical
silencers.
• These fans are 100% reversible jet fans.
• All fans, motors and equipment in contact with the
airflow are suitable for operation at 250 Degree C
for duration of one hour in Phase-I stations and for
two hours in Phase-II & III stations.

Tunnel Booster Fan - TBF
• Tunnel Booster Fans are provided in some tunnels
only, mainly in crossovers where tunnel cross
section is enlarged and there is no wall between
the two tunnels.
• TBFs are also provided at portals to induce thrust
to air in either direction.
• Whenever TBFs are provided, nozzles are not
required.

Tunnel Ventilation Dampers - TVDs
• Tunnel Ventilation Dampers are provided in each
TVS Plant Room.
• TVDs are used to regulate airflow in the desired
direction.
• TVDs are made of stainless steel and are
pneumatically operated.
• Various types of TVDs used in TVS are – FID,
SRD, NZD, SD & DRD.

Tunnel Ventilation Dampers - TVDs
• Fan Isolation Dampers (FID) – Purpose of this
damper is to isolate one TVF from another one at
the time of operation. FID is interlocked with TVF
motor and if damper does not open, the fan will not
start.
• Supply/ Return Dampers (SRD) – This damper is
used to supply the air in the tunnel (in case nozzle
is not present), which is further boosted by tunnel
booster fan. This also serves as a return air path
while TVF is operating in extract mode.

Tunnel Ventilation Dampers - TVDs
• Nozzle Damper (NZD) – It provides necessary air
path in required tunnel through nozzle while other
tunnel remains isolated.
• Draft Relief Damper (DRD) – It provides air
passage to tunnel air blow cause by piston effect of
moving train. Secondly, it minimizes mixing of hot
tunnel air with cooled platform air.
• Shaft Damper (SD) – It provides necessary
passage for atmospheric air to supply in tunnel or
discharge smoke/air from tunnel with the help of
TVF.
Attenuators
• Sound attenuators are provided on both sides of
the tunnel ventilation fans. The cross section of
the attenuators shall be either square or
rectangular.
• The outer casing of attenuator is fabricated from
galvanized steel sheet.
• Noise attenuators have sound absorbing
insulation of mineral wool/ rock wool inside to
keep the sound down.

TVS – Modes of Operation
There are four modes of operation of TVS:
• Maintenance Mode
• Normal Mode
• Congestion Mode
• Emergency Mode

Normal Scenario – Close Mode
In Phase-I Stations, only DRD are used to relieve air pressure due to piston
31
effect whereas in Phase-II & Phase-III Stations, both DRD and SRD are used.
Congestion Mode
• Congestion Mode of operation of the TVS System is mode
corresponding to situation when train stops between two
stations for extended period of time in tunnel.
• Heat dissipation by condenser of train air conditioner leads
to increase the tunnel temperature around the train.
• When the tunnel air temperature in the vicinity of the
condenser inlets exceeds 46 Degree C, the AC units begin
unloading. This is a condition when the efficiency of the
system is drastically reduced to the point that there is no
more cooling effects for the passengers onboard.
• To prevent the accumulation of warm tunnel air around
idling train leads to activation of TVF push – pull mode.
Nearer station will act in supply mode and farther station
will act in extract mode.

TVS Operational Hierarchy
1. From Operation Control Centre (OCC) using SCADA
system.
2. From Station Control Room via local BMS work station.
3. From Ventilation control Panel (VCP) at each station in
SCR.
4. Locally through touch screen at TVS PLC in ECS Plant
Room (in Ph-III only).
5. Local Control Panel (LCP) in TVS Plant Room.
6. MCC Panel of TVS System.
