Adiabatic Cooling for Data Centers
R. Stephen Spinazzola, PE, LEED APShumate Engineering, PLLC Adiabatic cooling, the reduction in temperature when air pressure is lowered, is well known to all, and is witnessed in nature. For instance, stand near a waterfall on a hot day and experience a refreshing drop in temperature- that’s adiabatic cooling. A warm air mass ascending a […]
Electromagnetic Pulse and its Impact on the Design of Mission Critical Facilities
R. Stephen Spinazzola, PE, LEED APShumate Engineering, PLLC Our understanding of electromagnetic pulse energy in its many forms and permutations has been around since we have studied and understood lightning. The energy emitted is more than the electric charge, and there is an accompanying magnetic pulse that can cause damage as well. “An electromagnetic pulse […]
