Hongkong subway was awarded the Environmental Protection Award LED lighting

Suffered from traffic congestion for Chinese each big city, the subway as a quick and convenient means of transportation more and more attention. The loss of the subway is a common problem in the development of rail transportation. Some of the city's development of the subway ignored the economic benefits, the long-term loss of the subway, which will affect the sustainable and healthy development of the subway. In this regard, to calculate the economic accounts, further innovation management and operation mode, learning experience in Hongkong metro. As one of the few profitable metro companies in the world, Hongkong Metro has its own advanced ideas in operation mode and purchasing strategy.

Recently Hongkong environmental protection association will award wise green purchasing Hongkong metro, highlighting its responsibility to society and build Hongkong into a green city to make the contribution. The Hongkong subway, due to many well-known enterprises which support Jiuzhou optoelectronics because LED lighting solutions provided by the subway, to become the largest contributor of.

Subway operation energy consumption mainly concentrated in three aspects: traction locomotive, internal lighting, air conditioning system. At present, the technology of traction locomotive and air conditioning system has been mature, and the new technology can not be applied in the subway, which has been completed. At present, the energy saving potential of subway system can be further explored. Subway environment can not be used in natural light, cars, platforms, channels must be fully used artificial light source for 24 hours of lighting, so the energy consumption of the subway interior lighting system is even higher than its air-conditioning system.

Hongkong subway and Jiuzhou photoelectric one, the first in the world to introduce LED as a platform of subway cars and light source, has attracted wide attention. 2008, the first batch of Hongkong subway LED subway car lighting installation completed.

Today, LED car light Jiuzhou optoelectronics experienced 2 years of actual testing, truly zero fault, zero decay, by the Hongkong subway and the praise of the community.

As the purchasers, the light source LED Hongkong subway by Jiuzhou optoelectronics specially designed for the subway cars. This source is 28 watt LED light source optimization design, design alternative inside the original 2 36 watt fluorescent lamp, a LED energy saving lamp every one thousand hour electricity reached 49 degrees per day; six years in the life cycle of light for 20 hours, a LED energy saving lamp will be saving 2146 degrees, reduction at least 2.36 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

Relevant personage Environmental Protection Association of Metro LED lighting very much, the concept of green environmental protection not only in saving power: Jiuzhou photoelectric LED lighting long service life for 6 years, not only reduce the frequent subway car maintenance, reduce the labor and material costs in the process of maintenance. To improve vehicle utilization. More importantly, if the fluorescent tube, 6 years need to replace the, a LED lamp to reduce the use of 12 fluorescent tubes, completely avoid the mercury in the fluorescent lamp to the environment pollution.

Jiuzhou photoelectric and Hongkong metro, not only in the subway cars in the large-scale application of LED lighting, LED lamps will be applied to subway station lighting, subway station needs a wide range of high illuminance, is the focus of attention of the regional energy saving subway. At present, Jiuzhou optoelectronics has completed replacement project of Hongkong subway station, the rainbow Hung Hom station site, and preparing to begin replacing work in more site.

Environmental professionals in Hongkong Metro is the concept of environmental protection is very appreciated, especially mentioned: low carbon environmental protection is not in order to increase the production costs, but on the importance of social and environmental responsibility at the same time should also pay attention to their own interests, using new technologies such as LED can not only reduce the pollution to the environment. At the same time also can bring more profits to enterprises. At this point, the experience of the Hongkong subway is worth learning.
