The invention relates to a centralized air supply device of a railway car equipment compartment and an equipment compartment ventilation
system. The equipment compartment is composed of a apron board, a bottom plate, an end plate and a framework, one or two centralized air supply devices are installed in the equipment compartment, first air inlets and first air outlets are formed in the apron board, an air inlet of the centralized air supply device is communicated with the first air inlets in the apron board, and an air outlet of the centralized air supply device is communicated with the equipment compartment and used for providing cooling air for air-using equipment in the equipment compartment. Inlet air for the air-using equipment in the equipment compartment is extracted in the equipment compartment, the heat
radiation and air filtering effects are good, micro-
positive pressure in the equipment compartment is guaranteed, the ways that dust and ice
snow enter the equipment compartment are reduced, the number of the first air inlets in the apron board is reduced, and manufacturing and maintenance cost is lowered so that cars can run safely in extremely cold, strong sandy wind, high-temperature environments and other severe environments.
