Cab Cooling Retrofit Installed on VolkerRail V100 203 3 / RRF 24 Locomotive

The VolkerRail 203 3 / RRF 24 locomotive has been retrofitted with a DC Airco cab cooling system to provide reliable climate control for train crews during year round operation. The installation uses the DC Airco split air conditioning unit, a robust system designed for heavy duty mobile and rail applications.

This retrofit improves working comfort for locomotive operators by delivering strong and consistent cooling performance, particularly during warm weather rail maintenance and shunting activities. The system supports stable temperature regulation inside the cab, helping crews maintain focus and efficiency throughout long operational shifts.

The air conditioning unit’s compact split design allows it to be integrated into existing locomotive layouts without major modifications. Its rugged construction, vibration resistance, and durable corrosion protected housing make it well suited for demanding railway environments.

By retrofitting the VolkerRail 203 3 / RRF 24 locomotive with this DC Airco solution, the operator benefits from enhanced cab comfort, improved safety, and reliable climate performance across all seasons. The upgrade further demonstrates the suitability of DC Airco systems for modernizing and extending the operational comfort of legacy locomotives.
