You cannot tax a corporation. Increased tax burdens just trickle down to reduced wages for low level employees and increased prices. I'm not sure why that is so hard for people to get.
That is where the ice storage systems become interesting and cost effective. In the states, usually half of a commercial energy bill is peak demand. If you can transfer that energy usage to night time to build up your ice storage and transfer your main power draw to off peak the savings can be very significant and create payback times in months not years.
The units were mounted on the roof, but were packaged AAON 2 x LL210 chillers (and a full 400 ton backup) with no exposed exterior piping. Glycol reduces the specific heat of the fluid and increases the specific gravity, so it can move less heat and takes more power to move. I only add glycol to the system if freezing is an issue.
1 ton is a unit of cooling equal to 12,000 BTU/hr, not weight. The typical rule of thumb is 2.4 GPM per ton which is based on a standard 10degF delta T, usually 44degF to 54degF. Assuming 100 feet of head and 50% mechanical efficiency, 1 BHP will move about 20 gallons of water per minute. 1 BHP is about 0.75kW.
I am kind of confused about how many kW of power it takes to transfer heat. Heat moves from high to low, you have to pump cold water through a coil and force warm air across that coil. The amount of heat transferred is a function of the face velocity and temperature of the air across that coil, the amount of fluid moved and temperature through the coil and the characteristics (fin spacing, fin size, material) of the coil.
The temperature of the computers isn't really the important factor, it is the heat rejected. Again using rules of thumb, you can assume that 80% of the electrical power delivered to the computers will be dissipated as heat. The total of that heat rejected along with the other heat inputs to the space, e.g. lighting, walls, roof, window loads, etc., will determine your cooling load. Almost all of this load is sensible, meaning heat only, for other occupancy types you would also have to consider latent (moisture) loads as far as people and ventilation air in determining the amount of cooling needed.
If you have chilled water, you have a chiller, which means you have compressors. Process water or ground source water usually is not cold enough to be an effective cooling medium. You want a high delta T between the entering air temp and the entering water temp to induce heat transfer. Closed loop ground source water is extremely (prohibitively) expensive and open loop is quite a maintenance hassle due to water treatment. High efficiency chillers paired with evaporative cooled water towers with economizer capability is very efficient and reliable. Usually you can get down to around 0.5kW per ton with high efficiency chillers at full load and with multiple staged compressors you can do even better with part load conditions. The cooling towers are usually pretty low with around 0.05 to 0.15kW per ton. Use VFD's on the secondary pumps and cooling tower fans, and you can get cooling in at 0.75kW per ton for the whole plant at peak and even lower and part load conditions (95% of the time).
I just designed a data center for a large Big Ten univeristy and there were no large air handlers involved at all. The system had two 400-ton chillers with the chilled water piped directly to rack mount APC fan coils. Without "green" being the basis of design, the chiller system still operates right at about 1kW/ton.
1. The big doozy: Eighty-five percent of the carbon permits will not be sold at auction â" they will be given away to utility companies, petroleum interests, refineries, and a coterie of politically connected businesses. If youâ(TM)re wondering why Big Business supports cap-and-trade, thatâ(TM)s why. Free money for business, but higher energy prices for you.
2. The sale of carbon permits will enrich the Wall Street investment bankers whose money put Obama in the White House. Top of the list: Goldman Sachs, which is invested in carbon-offset development and carbon permissions. CNN reports:
Less than two weeks after the investment bank announced it would be laying off 10 percent of its staff, ***Goldman Sachs confirmed that it has taken a minority stake in Utah-based carbon offset project developer Blue Source LLC. . . . âoeInterest in the pre-compliance carbon market in the U.S. is growing rapidly,â said Leslie Biddle, Head of Commodity Sales at Goldman, âoeand we are excited to be able to offer our clients immediate access to a diverse selection of emission reductions to manage their carbon risk.â
3. With its rich menu of corporate subsidies and special set-asides for politically connected industries, Waxman-Markey has inspired a new corporate interest group, USCAP, the United States Climate Action Partnership â" the group largely responsible for the fact that carbon permits are being given away like candy at Christmas rather than auctioned. And who is lined up to receive a piece of the massive wealth transfer that Waxman-Markey will mandate? Canada Free Press lists:
Alcoa, American International Group (AIG) which withdrew after accepting government bailout money, Boston Scientific Corporation, BP America Inc., Caterpillar Inc., Chrysler LLC (which continues to lobby with taxpayer dollars), ConocoPhillips, Deere & Company, The Dow Chemical Company, Duke Energy, DuPont, Environmental Defense, Exelon Corporation, Ford Motor Company, FPL Group, Inc., General Electric, General Motors Corp. (now owned by the Obama administration), Johnson & Johnson, Marsh, Inc., National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, The Nature Conservancy, NRG Energy, Inc., Pepsico, Pew Center on Global Climate Change, PG&E Corporation, PNM Resources, Rio Tinto, Shell, Siemens Corporation, World Resources Institute, Xerox Corporation.
One major group of recipients of the free money being given to industry in the form of carbon permits are the electric utilities, represented in Washington by the Edison Electric Institute. Along with the coal and steel businesses, the utilities are positioned to receive a huge portion of the carbon permits â" some of which will be disguised as measures for consumers â" and have become one of the nationâ(TM)s highest-spending lobbies, working to ensure that their interests are served by cap-and-trade.
4. To the extent that the allowances actually generate government revenue, that money is going to be used for fraud-inviting projects of dubious environmental or economic value. Example: Some allowance money will be used to âoebuild capacity to reduce deforestation in developing countries experiencing deforestation, including preparing developing countries to participate in international markets for international offset credits for reduced emissions from deforestation.â What are the chances of that being abused?
5. In addition to the permits, the bill also allows for the creation of âoeoffsetsâ â" the medieval-style indulgences of the carbon-footprint world. In fact, nearly all of Waxman-Markeyâ(TM)s carbon-reduction targets can be met with offsets alone through 2050, meaning decades before any actual reduction of greenhouse gases is required.
Are you serious? Are you that fucking gullible? Cap & trade will not reduce carbon emissions at all. There are huge loopholes for coal fired plants put in place to get the democrat votes needed to pass the thing. There are huge loopholes put in place for many of large industries like steel which allows them to continue without change or cap. This is the largest tax increase in American history under the guise of saving the environment and will be levied on the small consumer be that an individual family or small business. The fact that people think this is a good thing, just shows how truly misinformed the populace is in general.
Which is why I take my trusty Watson 853's when necessary, it is 10mg hydrocodone with only 325mg of acetaminophen. Usually if you explain to the doctor you do not want the large amount of tylenol you can get these.
The government will use that money and thereby reduce the need for other taxes or, more probably, use it to offset the rampant deficit spending already taking place.
You are not from around here are you?? If they get more money, they spend more money, period.
But there's no hard guarantee.
Sure there is. Go read up on Peak Oil.
Then go read what anybody's doing about it. (Hint: Apart from mostly singular projects like the one in TFA, mostly jack shit.)
Electricity prices will go up.
Except for the fact that only around 1.5% of the US electricity generation comes from the use of oil. Take a look here: Net Generation by Energy Source by Type of Producer. Out of a little more than 4,000,000 MWH of electricity generated, about 65,000 MWH came from petroleum.
Seems odd that there is a reliance or expectation for this data, considering it originates with a classified satellite system, let alone which is directly related to national security.
Generally speaking, if I am paying for something, I feel entitled to the results or products it produces.
Unfortunately thats not how the government works. I get to foot the bill but I have no say in the product lifecycle.
Just wait til it is your health care and not classified satellite information that you have no say in.
Statistics might not be all they are cracked up to be, but that was the first large passenger jet to crash since the plane that went down in the Bronx right after September 11th. That is almost 8 full years without a disaster and considering that there are approximately 18,000,000 commercial flights annually those are some pretty good odds.
Thing is, how do you punish a corporation for manslaughter? Remember, a corporation is a "legal person" so you can't punish an employee for obeying the will of the company.
IANAL but I would think this would constitute "depraved indifference" which is Murder 2. From the above:
'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendantâ(TM)s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.

Uh, voltage doesn't go negative, it goes to zero, unless you have a bulb that is magically producing voltage potential greater than the hot line.
It was built for the Vice President, not just Dick Cheney. It cost of millions of dollars and now useless.

Our design conditions were 75degF. The server manufacturers said they can handle up to 100degF but have much longer life with cooler room temps.
Primary loop is feeding the chiller. Most chillers don't like variable flow. The secondary loop is feeding the load.
The units were mounted on the roof, but were packaged AAON 2 x LL210 chillers (and a full 400 ton backup) with no exposed exterior piping. Glycol reduces the specific heat of the fluid and increases the specific gravity, so it can move less heat and takes more power to move. I only add glycol to the system if freezing is an issue.
I guess I was unclear, 80% of the circuit size(s) delivered to the units since you can't load a circuit to more than 80% of the breaker size.

If you are using him as your reference frame, then it was the sudden acceleration that killed him.
It was still the rapid deceleration of the organs internally that killed him.

Why is this flamebait? PAE is cludgy at best. Unless you are actually using the extra RAM available via PAE its inclusion will slow you down.

Everything I needed to learn about wagon-wheel axles I learned from Oregon Trail.
They break right before an exceptionally tough winter where you lose 5 oxen? That is what I learned.
