Debated in Parliament on 3 Oct 2023.

Summary written by AI (learn more)

The government ensures that MRT trains use robust joints and corrosion-resistant pipes to minimize air-conditioning refrigerant gas leaks, with rail operators conducting preventive maintenance and regular leak checks.
Air-conditioning units on trains are periodically dismantled for thorough inspections based on manufacturer guidelines and replaced when necessary to maintain high standards.
Refrigerant gas leaks are rare occurrences that do not pose public health risks, and the measures in place aim to prevent future malfunctions while ensuring passenger comfort and safety.

Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for Transport (a) what measures are in place to ensure that the air-conditioning systems on MRT trains are regularly maintained at a high standard; and (b) what is being done to prevent future refrigerant gas leaks and other air-conditioning malfunction on the trains.

Chee Hong Tat (for the Minister for Transport)

All MRT trains are installed with robust joints and corrosion-resistant pipes to minimise air-conditioning refrigerant gas leaks. Rail operators conduct preventive maintenance of aircon units and regularly check for signs of leaks. Aircon units on trains are also dismantled for more thorough checks based on manufacturer's guidelines and are replaced if necessary.

Refrigerant gas leaks do occur, but these are rare incidents which do not pose public health risks.
