How to Select Non-Conductive Line Break Size for SCIFs
Designing HVAC systems for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) requires a completely different approach from standard commercial heating and cooling. When dealing with security, something like a copper refrigerant line can provide an unintended conductive pathway for electromagnetic signals that can breach the facility’s security. To avoid this issue, MEP engineers typically use a refrigerant line break for secure facilities. These systems let refrigerants

Why R-290 Is Gaining Popularity in Modern Refrigeration Systems
Sweeping changes to regulations on global commercial Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems have begun. Simultaneously, international environmental standards are systematically restricting the use of high Global Warming Potential (GWP) synthetic hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and leading to the discontinuation of their use. As a consequence, design professionals and asset managers have begun re-evaluating the long-term plans for their business/country’s infrast
