So Dave has brought this to my attention, this company claims to be selling the "Worlds First" pancake printer, http://www.guruhub.tv/testing-out-a...gn=fb-us-mo-mrk but, as we all know, this is a tech that has already been perfected.  This injustice will not stand. #rememberomaha Discuss

Working on industrial refrigeration systems. This includes working on ammonia systems, and other weird stuff like that. Basically the biggest kind of big systems, stuff like this:

Plinkey posted:Ah, is that the kind of thing that they build near huge railway/trucking depots to basically keep a whole warehouse cold? Pretty much, yeah. This is the kinda stuff used in factories to keep giant walks in cold, or tons of product chilled, or running process chillers. Previa_fun posted:This might sound like a dumb question but I've always wondered: On huge HVAC systems such as those that flow thousands (or tens of thousands) of CFM is there any risk to getting sucked into the airflow or are pressures too low for that to really be a concern? I haven't actually worked on something this big yet, but I think for the most part the pressures are low enough that even with moving 1000s of CFMs there's not a huge risk of getting sucked in. Even if someone did get sucked in they're probably just end up crashing through the ducts before they got too far. Despite what Die Hard taught you, ducts are flimsy as poo poo.

Enourmo posted:This. CFM is duct area X velocity. Not only does creating higher flow use an unnecessary amount of power, but higher velocity means more drag losses, due to skin friction with the duct walls. On the other hand, low-velocity, large-area systems take up more physical space, but are much cheaper to operate in terms of power input. Low velocity means low dynamic pressure means no real Arc flash is no joke. That poo poo'll gently caress you up good. Also, for what it's worth, once you get up to a certain size of unit, you pretty much stop using return ducts, and just have a common return, or a filter room.  Have fun changing out like 100 filters in one go! Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I mean... for what it's worth, I've worked in a building with mainframes before (oh god that dates me). I would imagine they mostly wanted that door kept shut so goons wouldn't go using that space as a storage area/mastabatorium. I can only imagine what a lead-acid battery bank must of been like though. Yikes.

I was going to suggest The Shack in Staunton, but they aren't open on Mondays.
