Good guess bu no
Wild guess: the exhaust is hot enough to melt or damage the old slats?
close but no

Fans are blowing the slats loose?

My guess too - or they are being "sucked in" to the fans ...

Here's a little hint - the issue specifically is with the roof-mounted HVAC packages. They blow the air upwards, whereas all previous subway cars had underfloor equipment with roof-mounted intakes.

They stain the ceiling tiles?

The proximity to the fans restrict airflow causing the A/C units to be less effective?
The air running through the slats makes too much noise?

I'd think the air being pushed up into those metal slats would stir a lot of dust up.
At least at first ... once it's happening every day, there would be none left to stir up.

Guessing games are fun!
Is the exhaust condensing on the slats and causing some kind of problem?

The air discharged from an A/C condenser is warm and dry.

Is there an condensation issue from the hot/damp outflow of the air conditioners on the ceiling strips?

Is it because when the air blows through the slats, it acts like a harmonica and music fills the station? Can't have that.

No you guys!! THINK!!
The HVAC is blowing air "up" into the ceiling; the air this then forced "down" causing the train to lift up off the tracks, through the ceiling, through the earth and up into orbit.
