Cooling is not a problem, we have a guy that designed the cooling for the Candu reactors. Al came up with a cooling unit for a portable high power laser system for us awhile ago. He's got it down to convection driven liquid nitrogen with a delta T of over 140 degrees in the size of a pop can. If you can spare 18" in a regular telco rack in the POP , you could put 4 - 8 such units in. Tim Gibson Skyscape Communications On Fri, 8 Aug 1997, Chris A. Icide wrote:
We could probably fit one based on the old disimilar metal designs, but we would be limited to non raised floor surfaces as the lead cabinets and lead curtains would probably exceed the raised floor capacity limits. We'd also have to supply some method of heat removal, since I doubt the heat radiation panels would fit in any conventional data center space. This means we would have to have some kind of active cooling system (of course requiring a uninteruptable power system to make sure it's available 100%). In the mean time we could document the effects of radiation upon network vendor hardware equipment. Remember the old "internet could survive a nuclear conflict"? Maybe we ought to combine it with that missile silo someone noted a few months ago.
