Battery Technology for Data Centers and Network Rooms: Ventilation | 2009-04-08 | American Power Conversion (APC) |
| Lead-acid batteries are the most widely used method of energy reserve. Ventilation systems must address health and safety as well as performance of the battery and other equipment in a room. Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries and modular battery cartridges (MBC) do not require special battery rooms and are suitable for use in an office environment. Air changes designed for human occupancy normally exceed the requirements for VRLA and MBC ventilation. Vented (flooded) batteries, which release hydrogen gas continuously, require a dedicated battery room with ventilation separate from the rest of the building. This paper summarizes some of the factors and codes to consider when selecting and sizing a ventilation system for a facility in which stationary batteries are installed.

Field MTBF Numbers: What Do They Really Mean? | 2000-06-15 | Liebert |
| MTBF is an acronym for Mean Time Between Failures. In general, a higher MTBF number indicates a more reliable product. Beyond this simple definition, you?ll find a wide variety of special meanings. In the military/aerospace industries, MTBF is defined by a specific set of calculations. The formula for system longevity is based on the thermal, electrical and environmental stresses on each component. The engineer evaluates the components and subassemblies in a particular product by these formulas and produces an overall number called calculated MTBF. |
