SNVI Minibus Air Conditioning is largely absent

SNVI Minibus Air Conditioning is not yet widespread in Algerian urban transportation, although minibuses are a crucial part of the urban and suburban transportation network.

Many minibuses in Algeria are older models that may not have been equipped with air conditioning when they left the factory, or they may use very basic systems.

Algerian Minibus Routes
Minibus routes are very flexible, primarily filling the service gaps between buses and taxis.

1. Connecting large residential areas with transportation hubs, commercial areas, or major markets in the city center.
2. Serving as a “last mile” solution for Algiers Metro or tram stations, diverting passengers from metro stations to surrounding communities.
3. Operating on fixed routes with high passenger volume and stable demand, such as between a university and a hospital, or between two major markets.
4. Connecting major cities like Algiers and Oran with surrounding satellite cities or suburban towns.
5. Minibuses run from the center of a small town to a nearby larger city, facilitating villagers’ access to errands, shopping, or transfers to other modes of transportation.
6. During rush hour, they specifically transport workers in industrial areas.
7. During school hours, they operate around schools, picking up and dropping off students.

Main Passenger Groups for Minibuses

1. This is the primary passenger group. They need to travel daily between their homes and workplaces, and minibus fares are inexpensive, making it the most cost-effective commuting method.
2. University and high school students are frequent minibus users because they lack stable income and are very sensitive to transportation costs.
3. They need to move frequently within the city, and minibuses are an important means of transportation for their livelihood.
4. For those traveling short distances between two adjacent towns, minibuses are more flexible and have more frequent service than long-distance buses.

Why Don’t These Minibuses Install SNVI Minibus Air Conditioning?

1. The maintenance and refrigerant refilling of air conditioning systems, especially compressors and condensers, are costly.
2. Turning on the air conditioning significantly increases fuel consumption, a considerable additional expense for minibus owners and drivers in a competitive market with low profit margins.
3. Because the minibus market is highly price-sensitive, even with a working Minibus Air Conditioning, drivers are unlikely to raise fares. Therefore, they have no incentive to repair or turn on the minibus air conditioning.

Installing the SNVI Minibus Air Conditioning requires less consideration of critical aspects and doesn’t necessitate a focus on fluid dynamics and engineering integration.

Busclima engineers select the appropriate cooling capacity for the SNVI 100 L6/V8, typically within the 32-36 kW range.

The SNVI Minibus Air Conditioning should be installed in a well-ventilated area of ​​the roof. It’s usually located in the front-middle section of the roof, but should avoid a position directly above the driver (to prevent noise interference).

When the vehicle is traveling at high speeds, the airflow velocity over the roof is very high. A good installation location and airflow design can utilize dynamic pressure to assist cooling, reducing fan energy consumption and noise. Conversely, poor design will create resistance.

The cool air from the air conditioning unit needs to be distributed throughout the passenger compartment via ducts installed on both sides of the roof.

The duct design must ensure uniform airflow distribution. Otherwise, airflow will be higher near the vents and lower further away, resulting in uneven heating and cooling throughout the passenger compartment.

Busclima engineers warn that installing air conditioning units through openings in the roof weakens the vehicle’s structure. Reinforcing beams must be added to distribute stress and vibration.

The connection between the mounting base and the roof must be sealed with high-quality sealant for both water and air tightness to prevent leaks and noise.
