Hi Paul & all,
Computer rooms dumping heat into a cold barn area? Nah, that would
actually make sense! Could be that broadcast engineers have a little,
back in the days of big tubes or valves if they happened to be water
cooled (;->) the "plant" was heated by the transmitters. Interesting
exhaust hoods they had, movable vanes that directed exhaust into the
building in winter and outside in summer. Can't say the new solid state
transmitters can generate enough heat but they didn't call power tetrodes
fire bottles for nothing.
Speaking of computer rooms, there's a server center in the next town that
tends to amuse me every so often. Fire alarms go off and the company
responds but none of the expected smoke and flames. Rather the heat in
there would blister the skin so the place is opened up and smoke ejectors
set up to cool things down, then they can go ahead with the
investigation. Always the same thing, climate control failure and a
server room in total meltdown. Fault alarms? Failsafe systems? Backups?
NEVER!
