Railways trying innovative ways to keep isolation coaches cool
It also said that the Railways has made arrangements to coat the roofs of these coaches with a heat-reflecting paint or alternatively provide a bamboo chick etc which will lower the temperature further. A trial has been done by placing portable coolers inside the coaches. A temperature reduction of up to 3?C was achieved using these coolers, the Railways said.
Bubble-wrap films are being applied on the coaches, which are expected to keep inside temperatures down by one degree Celsius, it said, Photo: Reuters
