A building automation system or BAS

  A building automation system or BAS is a network of controlling and monitoring devices mainly responsible for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control system in large facilities and commercial buildings. Building automation systems are most commonly implemented in large facilities such as healthcare facilities, schools, universities, hotels, residential buildings, and data centers. A BAS network allows building operators to supervise and control the HVAC systems from a centralized location known as the Building Management System or BMS. VAV system, the air handling unit (AHU) and the VAV boxes are physically separated from each other, and each one has its own controller, also distanced from one another. However, for a VAV system to operate effectively, the VAV Boxes and the AHU have to talk to each other; in other words, they need to share information to properly adjust their setpoints based on zone heating or cooling demand.

FM-200 Fire Suppression System

  FM-200 Fire Suppression System – Step-By-Step Flow Explained 🔹

The FM-200 system is a fast-acting, clean-agent fire suppression solution used in data centers, control rooms, server rooms, and critical facilities.
Here’s how the system works:
1️⃣ Fire Detection
Advanced smoke and heat detectors identify the fire at an early stage.
2️⃣ Pre-Discharge Warning
Alarm sirens and strobes activate to warn occupants to evacuate immediately.
3️⃣ Agent Discharge
FM-200 (Heptafluoropropane) is released quickly to suppress the fire without damaging equipment.
4️⃣ Fire Suppression
The agent absorbs heat, breaks the fire triangle, and extinguishes the fire within seconds.
5️⃣ Post-Discharge Actions
Ventilation starts, and the area is inspected to ensure safety and system reset.

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries Preface Contents Preface The oil and gas industry depends on steel and other metals for pipelines, storage tanks, and infrastructure. However, these metals can corrode when exposed to water or soil, which is detrimental to the integrity of pipelines and storage tanks. This engineering book outlines the minimum requirements for anodes (high-silicon iron, graphite, magnetite) used in impressed current CP systems. It details the composition, materials, manufacturing, properties, inspection, and testing of these anodes. Additionally, it provides revised survey requirements to ensure corrosion control systems on buried or submerged structures are well-designed, operated, and maintained. The book also covers techniques, equipment, ...
