Applying Refrigerant Codes

Administering limits for the amount of refrigerant that can be discharged into a space in the event of a leak Some years ago, two young and inexperienced technicians were called to work on a large refrigerant system. The system was not working properly because of an incorrectly installed valve. In their attempt to fix the system, the technicians caused a leak in the piping at the tank, which ...

Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and Indoor Air Quality

Chances are that unless you are hot or cold – or if you smell something funny – you probably never think about indoor air quality. However, scientists know that gases in the air that you cannot see or smell can still affect your health. Carbon Monoxide The most dangerous gas most of us will ever face is carbon monoxide (CO). Not normally occurring in nature, this colorless, odorless, ...

How a Cold Aisle Containment Helped Saudi Aramco’s Energy-Consuming Data Centers

To save energy, some data centers are enclosed in special cases where cold and hot air do not mix. This is called the cold aisle containment. These specialized containments are normal in most hyperscale data centers, and even some smaller ones. They help cool heat-intense servers without consuming too much additional electricity. This is especially important in hot places like the Middle East. ...

Safety Systems Depend on Reliable Field Sensors (Emphasis on Fire and Gas Detectors)

Abstract Because not all hazards are the same, identifying and quantifying the hazard is the starting point in choosing sensing technology. Not all detectors are the same, and they should be selected according to their ability to detect the hazard. This paper gives a broad summary of technologies that provide users reliable responses to hazardous conditions, that minimise false alarms, and that ...

Pumps for the Booming FPSO Sector

In the last few years, several new offshore oil fields have been discovered. The current findings from Petrobras and other companies in the pre-salt province, located in the Brazilian continental shelf, suggest reserves of over 50 billion barrels of oil. Extracting the pre-salt oil is challenging and done increasingly with floating production storage and offloading units (FPSOs). Sulzer offers a ...

Data Centers coping with climate change induced wildfires

Climate change is here and it is real. Extreme weather conditions are being felt all over the world. Drought has become a significant challenge. Mountain and forest areas have been experiencing record high temperatures for the past decade. Data centers located in these high-risk areas are in danger of being overwhelmed by high temperatures and low humidity, which increase the risk of fires. ...

Not All Hazards are the Same: Design considerations for matching flame and gas hazards to detector technologies

Not all flame and gas hazards in facilities are the same, therefore the detection technology chosen should be specific to the type of hazard to be detected. How do users select technologies to see certain fires or detect certain gases? The intent of this paper is to give a broad introduction to the selection and use of flame and gas detector technologies. We will answer questions such as these: ...
