AI Thread Summary

To size an air conditioner for a 3m x 2m room containing a 25A, 48V DC UPS system, a radio repeater, and 20 48V DC relays, it's crucial to calculate the total heat output from these devices. The wattage of the radio repeater and the heat generated by the UPS and relays must be determined to assess the cooling load. Understanding the heat energy being produced will guide the selection of an appropriately sized AC unit. Without this information, it's challenging to ensure efficient cooling. Accurate sizing is essential for optimal performance and energy efficiency.

How do you size up an airconditioner for a room measuring 3m*2m housing a 25A, 48V dc UPS system, a radio repeater and about 20 48V dc relays.

I'm no HVAC expert to say the least but I will send you on a mission. To know how to size the AC you need to know how much heat energy is being dumped into the room. How many watts is the repeater, etc.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
