Air conditioning broken in the bus: 1. FC Magdeburg fights against the heat!

What a shock for the 1. FC Magdeburg team! On Thursday, shortly before their DFB Cup game against third division team Saarbrücken, it became known that the air conditioning on their team bus was defective. When outside temperatures exceed 30 degrees, the long journey of around 600 kilometers to Saarland becomes a heat battle. The team not only has to sweat a lot on the pitch, but also during the journey. But there is hope: team leader Heiko Horner and player Baris Atik reacted quickly and organized two mobile air conditioning units in a nearby hardware store. A small relief, even if the departure was slightly delayed due to this improvised solution. Picture knows more about it.

How will the players react to this unusual situation? So far, most people are calm. However, it remains to be seen whether mobile air conditioning systems will be sufficient to keep temperatures comfortable during long journeys. The first impression shows that the solution is creative, but not necessarily the best. According to the results of Test.de The selection of air conditioning units is large and should be carefully considered if you are looking for cooling.

Air conditioning units tested

A comprehensive analysis has shown that air conditioners are useful not only in summer but also in winter. These devices provide refreshing coolness in overheated rooms and also support heating in cooler months. In a test of a total of 34 split devices from different manufacturers, it became clear that the prices are between 700 and 2630 euros. However, if you decide on a good device, you should also keep an eye on the electricity costs, which can fluctuate between 780 and 1,800 euros over 15 years.

What's particularly worth noting is that split devices, which performed better with testers, are more energy efficient, but require professional installation. Monoblock devices, on the other hand, are less expensive, but did not achieve scores above 3.8 in the tests. Perhaps this is an indication that it would have been worthwhile for 1. FC Magdeburg to choose suitable air conditioning before the bus started to sweat.

The environmentally friendly alternatives

However, in the context of air conditioning units, the issue of the environment is not left out. The provider The Compost Bag Company Limited offers biodegradable trash bags made from cornstarch and other plant-based materials. Not only are these bags hygienic and compostable, they also ensure environmentally friendly disposal of food waste, which is becoming increasingly important in times of climate change.

In the end, 1. FC Magdeburg's journey to Saarbrücken is an impressive example of improvisation under pressure. With a little creativity and a dose of composure, the team will overcome the challenge - both on the road and on the field.
