  • the through duct can be straight and parallel to each other, or intertwined, if necessary, to ensure a proper connection between each outlet port of the air treatment unit and a corresponding air distribution duct inside de double-deck car body.
  • the interface module is pre-assembled and constitutes a structural unit, a complex layout of the through duct can be chosen if necessary while keeping subsequent installation on the vehicle simple.
  • a sealing gasket assembly is provided for sealing an interface between the mounting plate and the peripheral edge of the opening.

  • a reinforcement frame is attached to an inner side of the mounting plate for supporting the through ducts.
  • through ducts are rigid.
  • connection flange for connecting said at least one of the through ducts to an air duct inside the double-deck car body.
  • One or more of the connection flanges may be provided fast release clamps.
  • the interface module comprises an end plate for connecting the air treatment unit to the through ducts, the end plate being provided with apertures through which the through ducts exit.
  • the end plate can be provided with ring seals for individually sealing a periphery of each of the apertures of the end plate.
  • the interface module is provided with one or more electrical bushings for electrical connections between an electrical circuit inside the car body and outside electrical conductors.
  • at least one of the one or more electrical bushings is provided with at least one electrical terminal on one side of the mounting plate and preferably with two opposite electrical terminals on both sides of the mounting plate.
  • an assembly method for assembling a double deck car body of a rail vehicle comprising: an upper end wall facing a lower roof section at an end of an upper deck of the double-deck car body, wherein the upper end wall is provided with an opening having a maximal width larger than 1m, preferably larger than 1,2 m and a maximal height larger than 0,5 m, preferably larger than 0,8 m.
  • the method comprises
  • Fixing the interface module to the air treatment unit may include tightly connecting the through ducts of the interface module to corresponding air ports of the air treatment unit.
  • the interface module is fixed to the air treatment unit before the opening is closed with the interface module and the air treatment unit is fixed to the lower roof section.
  • the opening is closed with the interface module before the interface module is fixed to the air treatment unit and the air treatment unit is fixed to the lower roof section.
  • bulky pre-assembled and pre-tested subunits or modules of the interior fitting of the upper deck of the double-deck car body can be inserted through the opening before closing the opening with the interface module.
  • a double-deck car body of a rail vehicle comprising:
  • the air treatment unit is provided with several air outlet ports and at least one air inlet port, the through ducts including inlet through ducts, which connect the air outlet ports to inlet air distribution ducts provided inside the double-deck car body for distributing inlet air into an interior space of the double-deck car body, and at least one outlet through duct which connects the at least one air inlet port to the interior space of the double-deck car body.
  • a double-deck car body 10 of a rail vehicle has an interior space 12 divided into a lower deck 14, an upper deck 16, and one or more vestibules 18 for passengers to enter or exit the rail vehicle and access the lower and upper decks 14, 16.
  • Each vestibule 18 is covered by a lower roof section 20.
  • An upper roof section 22 covers the upper deck 16.
  • An upper end wall 24 of the upper deck 16 faces the lower roof section 20 at one end of the upper deck 16.
  • the upper end wall 24 is provided with an opening 26, which has a cross-section area greater than 0,65 m 2 , a maximal width larger than 1m, preferably larger than 1,2 m and a maximal height larger than 0,5 m, preferably larger than 0,7 m.
