The modern manufacturing industry was formally introduced to the concept of trust with Just in Time, Kanban and other defined protocols – and we found that it worked. If we were able to trust the supply chain, then massive benefits ensued. This has led, in turn, to ways of working that allow us to address other issues; for example, quality and price stability.

Thermal dissipation is simply heat transfer. It occurs when the heat of an object (that has a higher temperature than its surroundings) is transferred to its environment, or onto nearby colder objects. For example, heat from a radiator dissipates into a cold room and increases the temperature of its surroundings.

The phrase “up-time” is an oft-repeated phrase for IT professionals, reflecting the fact that a key measure of their success is service availability. Modern climate control systems support “up-time” but, to understand why, you first need to consider the impact of poor climate control to decide which equipment to employ to take an installation to the next level.

Air conditioner-based cooling is widely used for outdoor shelters housing control, instrumentation and electrical equipment. Passive cooling techniques provide an interesting alternative, and the market for these has grown substantially during recent years. A further innovation in this area – 'hybrid' cooling – is now extending the advantages of this approach and the variety of applications and climates that can be handled.
