Touch is a poor indicator of proper transformer operating temperature. Properly designed transformers can reach 50°C (122°F) above ambient temperature. In an ambient temperature of 20°C (60°F), the total temperature can reach 70°C (190°F), which is too hot to touch. Thermometers are the best way to determine the temperature.

Acoustic foams, which are thermally insulating - may act to insulate components so that heat is not so easily transmitted to the case sides and top and bottom for dissipation to the outside. This may cause slight increases in temperature. The configuration of the materials around the case interior and components may also be such that airflow pathways become more tortuous. This is only likely where materials have been fitted incorrectly so that they obstruct airflow - which is NOT recommended.

A transformer’s rated temperature rise (degrees Celsius) is the average temperature of the transformer’s windings over an ambient temperature of 40°C. In other words, the average winding temperature = ambient temperature rise.

No -- all buildings are two-story with four two-bedroom condos per building. There are 13 buildings on the oceanfront property.

Moving in or out of the building without first making an arrangement with the building manager and trying to move furniture in the lift or through the front door when it won't fit; Jamming the lift door open with possessions instead of getting the 'hold door open' key from the building manager.

If a long-term objective is to maintain the property for your own use and enjoy the great benefits of the Gold Coast's holiday lifestyle, then high rise apartments may be more of interest. This property tends to be along the beachside precincts.

A fire door that by code, meets a maximum unexposed surface temperature requirement at a specified time interval during the fire test. (i.e. 250 deg @ 30 minutes)

Answer: Temperature rise doors are used in stairwells. In the case of fire on one side of the door, the unexposed side of the door must remain below 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. This type of door is required on all fire rated stairwell doors (SBC 705.1.3.4). The reason for this requirement is to protect escaping occupants. A standard metal door exposed to fire can reach 1200 degrees F on the unexposed side, and this amount of heat could cause clothes on an exiting occupant to catch on fire.

The best way to tell if your ballast is running too hot is to take a wooden kitchen match and touch to the ballast box. If it ignites the match then it is operating too hot. I would recommend having it looked at by a professional or have it serviced at your local hydro shop. Yes if heat is already a problem in your garden then I would suggest moving your ballasts outside the grow room. Especially if there is more than 1. They can really increase the overall room temperature.

Know and exercise your building’s evacuation route and plan. Listen to the advice of local government officials. If advised to shelter-in-place, select an interior room on the floor that you are on in which to take refuge. If advised to evacuate, follow the advice of local government officials or building management. Contact your building supervisor before you plan to leave.

Fires in high-rise apartments are caused the same as in any other dwelling ? smoking, cooking accidents, electrical and arson.

Fires in dumpsters caused by someone throwing a lit cigarette down the trash chute. Always make sure the melting link that closes the trash chute door above the dumpster is in good shape and not blocked. Keep at least on spare melting link somewhere other than the dumpster room and keep the fire sprinkler clear and ready. Coastal Service stocks these melting links.

Birds will come to balcony feeders, but it may take a while to attract them. Much depends on the surrounding habitat. If there are lots of trees and some water, your success rate will be higher. City dwellers may have to content themselves with sparrows as their primary visitors.

AIM-HIGH will take a total of four - six years to complete. After patients have completed all their study visits the researchers will compile all the results, run a statistical analysis, and review all the findings. Your AIM-HIGH doctor will receive a copy of the final report and you will receive a letter explaining all the results of the five-year cholesterol management program. At this time you will also receive a letter letting you know if you were taking the Niaspan® or the placebo.

Answer: It is the industry's highest rating for this type of space heating equipment and allows us to deliver the maximum amount of heat with the minimum amount of outside air. The maximum 160°F temperature rise/discharge temperature rating is crucial because it translates into lower horsepower motors, less outside air and reduced energy costs.

normal engine-operating temperatures, Mobil 1 synthetic motor oils offer better wear protection and better resistance to thermal degradation than conventional or semi-synthetic oils. Mobil 1 will continue to perform at temperatures that make conventional and semi-synthetic motor oils start to oxidize and turn to sludge. Mobil 1 motor oils are capable of protecting engines at temperatures up to 200° C.

Believe it or not, it's the true temperature! The base station is near a computer for one thing, which generates heat so the readings are higher for obvious reasons. The computer sits in an unairconditioned room with poor ventilation. This home has a low ceiling as well, so the hot air gets trapped in the daytime and doesn't dissapate until around midnight.

NTN has close to 700 greases listed. To choose one for a specific application requires application information. Check with NTN technical support for any special requirements. (TOP)

With single stage A/C, there is a limited ability to protect the compressor from high tempereture differential at least by shutting off the compressor while letting the fan run. This is a theoretical answer, from the practical standpoint it is yet to be seen how high the temperature difference will get when the airflow is restricted in a way it is being done by this system. The best answer to this question is: use multistage compressor coupled with variable speed fan (see Homeowner's FAQs).
