Knorr-Bremse Merak – Climate Control Systems for Rail Vehicles
Merak, the HVAC brand of Knorr-Bremse, provides advanced climate control solutions that combine passenger comfort with energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Whether in hot summers or freezing winters, Merak systems ensure a pleasant onboard climate. Quiet operation and smart pressure-wave compensation deliver smooth, undisturbed journeys.
The systems are eco-designed: braking energy can be reused for heating, airflow adapts to passenger load, and long-life filters significantly reduce maintenance needs. Low-GWP refrigerants and climate-friendly design support sustainable operations across global rail networks.
Merak offers a modular range of HVAC units including roof-mounted, underfloor, and compact solutions for both passenger compartments and driver’s cabs. These systems can be installed in new vehicles or retrofitted into existing fleets. Complementary control units, regulation technology, and sensors complete the package, making Merak a trusted partner for reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly rail climate control.
