  5. Re:WTF, why is a Carnot reference here? on Recycling Excess Heat From the Data Center · · Score: 2, Informative

    The summary writer may also have wanted to suggest that thermoelectric devices may be used to convert the waste heat at the data center into useful energy. However, thermoelectric devices are not really feasible for this application. To achieve the efficiencies cited for thermoelectric technologies, you need temperature gradients in the 100's degrees C, as in, for example, a car engine. Typical temperature gradients at data centers are on the order of tens of degrees C. This is considered "low-grade" heat in the renewable energy vernacular.

    3com, we hardly knew-- ...Well, I guess we did know you. So long.

  13. Re:Perspective on Cable Exec Suggests Changing Consumer Behavior, Not Business Model · · Score: 1
