Have we really kept pace with what should be required or what works best? Peter Hildebrandt, Distributed Energy, the Journal for On-site Power Solutions
We live in a world of change when it comes to computers and data centers. The chance that today's great new idea will be standard equipment on computer technology in six months or less is a growing reality. But what about the thermal needs and demands of such equipment?
Airflow issues in information technology, computer, or medical treatment environments may be low on the priority list. After all, if everything seems to be running fine--with all results normal and equipment not failing--what more could be asked for? Evaluating a center's airflow sounds extremely complex. Is there a problem? If you're sure, why bother?

Airflow Simulation Ensures +/- 1 Degree Temperature Range in Pharmaceutical Warehouse Preserving Life-Saving Drugs
Flomerics' consultants used Flovent to evaluate design alternatives which helped Eichleay Engineers Inc. to design an air handling system that keeps temperatures in a pharmaceutical warehouse within +/- 1º F. Alternatives were evaluated and a fan configuration was identified that met the pharmaceutical company's requirements for both temperature variation and air velocity. “The HVAC system has been in operation for over a year and the temperatures in the warehouse have never been outside the customer's specified range,” said Michael Simpson, Mechanical Engineer for Eichleay Engineers.

New FLOVENT Diffuser Models Improve Airflow Simulation in Buildings
Flomerics has announced the availability of six new web macros for its Flovent software that save time and improve accuracy in simulating the performance of diffusers.
In the past, modeling diffusers has required detailed information from manufacturers about physical tests, building a room model to simulate the tests, and adjusting the model to match the test results.
The models produced by the new web macros on the other hand, can simply be dropped into a Flovent model and require only commonly available data for the diffuser such as outside dimensions, flow rate and temperature data.
