Air-Inlet Grill Reduces Axial and Centrifugal Fan Noise
Fan and blower manufacturer ebm-papst has released FlowGrid, a patent-pending air-inlet grill designed to reduce noise levels for fans installed within limited-space air-moving equipment. “FlowGrid is the result of our extensive airflow testing for inlet conditions with a wide variety of customers’ axial and centrifugal fans across dozens of applications,” George Riker, … [Read more...]
NSA to Cool New Data Center with Wastewater in Controversial Deal
The National Security Agency (NSA) has announced plans to use 5 million gallons per day of treated wastewater from Howard County in Maryland to cool its huge Fort Meade data center, which is expected to be completed in 2016. According to The Baltimore Sun, the NSA will cover the $40 million required to build the needed pump station, and will pay up to $2 million each year for … [Read more...]
New Ultrathin Material May Lead to Better Thermally Conductive Coatings
Scientists at Kansas State University have discovered a new ultrathin electrically conductive material they say may lead to advances in the efficiency of electronic and thermal devices. Vikas Berry, the William H. Honstead professor of chemical engineering, and his colleagues found that manipulating molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)—a three-atom-thick inorganic compound … [Read more...]
