- In very high heat , a room fan won't cool you enough. (cdc.gov)
- When the "High HET" filter is selected in the "Flagged alignments" wizard it should load all alignments that are related to the patients that have at least one "High HET" alignments. (lu.se)
- We hope to find a secondary alignment that has a normal HET and it is not certain that the other alignment is flagged due to a high mismatch. (lu.se)
- With e-beam heating, aim to fix the filament current at the lowest value you can that still reaches the desired temperature, typically 3.0A. Temperature control is then by setting the high voltage, 0-1kV. (lu.se)
District8
- In Denmark and Finland most buildings in urban areas are covered with district heating and about 70-80% of this heat is produced with CHP. (sitra.fi)
- In the case of buildings, we have applied the Danish and Finnish shares of district heating with CHP to urban areas in OECD countries, many of which have cold or temperate climates. (sitra.fi)
- Local governments have the authority to require buildings to join a district heating network. (sitra.fi)
- Taking also into account the lower cost when building CHP and district heating at the same time as a new building is constructed or an old one is refurbished, the lower construction cost combined with savings from lower fuel consumption results in a net saving of -7 $/tCO2 in 2030. (sitra.fi)
- This would result in estimated total net costs for both industrial and district heating CHP of-$8 billion in 2030. (sitra.fi)
- Both industrial CHP and district heating networks are capital intensive and can have a relatively long payback time. (sitra.fi)
- Such measures also undermine the economics of district heating, since they imply less heat being sold without a corresponding reduction in capital costs. (sitra.fi)
- The new facility uses wood chips as fuel to generate district heating and electricity. (power-technology.com)
ERCOT1
- The increased stress on the power grid has prompted ERCOT to ask customers 10 times in the last three weeks to cut their electricity use. (journal-news.com)
Excessive1
- As of Monday, the majority of Texas remains under an excessive heat warning or heat advisory. (foxbusiness.com)
Production3
- Energy efficient combined heat and power (CHP) production covers almost 80% of industrial heat in Finland - a much higher share than in other countries. (sitra.fi)
- CHP provides several co-benefits compared with the separate production of heat and power. (sitra.fi)
- Bloomberg reports that nuclear power production across the U.S. has been exceptionally low overall this year as a result of severe drought and heat conditions. (naturalnews.com)
Refers1
- Pratt, who refers to himself as a "tinkerer," began experimenting with the idea of a self-contained, portable, energy-efficient heating device. (business-opportunities.biz)
Thermal3
- The EPA has recognized two DoD facilities with the Energy Star Combined Heat and Power (CHP) award for utilizing CHP technology to generate clean, efficient, and reliable thermal energy. (buildings.com)
- It has alwasy been the holy grail of any heat engine to maximise the thermal efficiency. (greencarcongress.com)
- it's amazing that this has not been done before but it is notoriously difficult to harness thermal energy and rveret it back into meaningful amounts of power. (greencarcongress.com)
20001
- If that doesn't scare you enough, then consider the cost of heating your pool - that luxury can cost an additional $400-$2000 a year depending on the heating method! (energymatters.com.au)
Measurement1
- Whether you're working out or just hanging out, it's a good idea to check the heat index -a measurement that combines temperature and humidity. (cdc.gov)
Voltage2
- Keep it up Tom's.it doesnt have a BAD voltage regulator, it just doesn't deliver enough stable power for overclocking much, nor do the VRM's have good cooling on them in that gigabtyte board. (tomshardware.com)
- Also DC power supplies with various output voltage and current capacity. (lu.se)
