Abstract: A heat dissipation system for a high-speed train running in a low-vacuum tube is provided. Component groups that provide power and resistance for the movement and stop of a train are provided at a periphery, close to the train, in a low-vacuum tube. The component group is provided with a group A cooling assembly.
