Anything rare you see on the roads - Part 3
-
I can answer that for you...Originally posted by Yusry:I happened to be at Bedok Int when I noticed a duct on SBS79A. Any idea what this duct is for?
I suspect either it's a new "radiator" or aircon heat exchanger.
http://sgbuses.blogspot.com/2004/06/sbs79a-operating-on-service-222-has.html
This duct is for the aircon system on test in this bus,it has appeared since last year. In the early stages of testing, there are 2 paper sheets saying " Air-Con on Test" in the interior of the bus. Now, the sheets have been removed for a few months.I have only seen SBS79A has this air-con test.
Result of this air-con test ( based on my observation):
- During night-time/rainy days, water droplets gathered on the air-con itself, dripping all the way to the ground. Surrounding seats cant be seated.
- It is quite cooling , extremely freezing at cool weathers... You can see the window panes misty.
- Havent catch this bus lately, dont know what is the latest performance.
How to describe the air-con in the interior? It is just a white flat machine on top, with cold air coming out of the visible "holes".
Ratings: Quite cold, but main problem is having dews on the flat machine at night or cold weathers, causing water to splash all over the rear of the bus. -
Is the cold air still piped into the normal aircon ducts on the sides of the bus or only from the "new aircon unit"?Originally posted by ula_man:I can answer that for you...

I wonder if this bus is still as laggy as other OAC Scanias (whereby their engines are driving the aircon compressor). -
I believe to be from the new air-con unit. Are there other buses also testing this Carrier air-con?Originally posted by Yusry:Is the cold air still piped into the normal aircon ducts on the sides of the bus or only from the "new aircon unit"?

No, only 79A has this second a/c unit.Originally posted by ula_man:I believe to be from the new air-con unit. Are there other buses also testing this Carrier air-con? -

SBS9615T doing 18 early in the morning. Split shift?

Yep, split shift from service 30. Seems like 9615T appears rather frequently on service 30 nowadays. Spotted it a few times.Originally posted by delonchew:SBS9615T doing 18 early in the morning. Split shift? -
I thought SBS9615T is a perm on 168? Or has its perm status on 168 been removed already?Originally posted by Yusry:Yep, split shift from service 30. Seems like 9615T appears rather frequently on service 30 nowadays. Spotted it a few times. -
I suppose it's still perm on 168, except when it cameos on 30, it does the 18 splitshift.Originally posted by delonchew:I thought SBS9615T is a perm on 168? Or has its perm status on 168 been removed already?
