Verizon Selects Degree Controls for New Thermal Program Aimed at Saving Energy
Degree Controls has been authorized by Verizon Communications to validate and certify network hardware for compliance with new thermal and power efficiency requirements according to Verizon's TMST (Thermal Modeling, Simulation and Test) Program
Milford, NH (PRWEB) November 6, 2009 -- Verizon’s new TMST program establishes technical purchasing requirements for manufacturers of network gear to help ensure that thermal modeling has been properly utilized in the design of new equipment and that independent testing confirms that the thermal characteristics are consistent with Verizon’s goal of a 20% improvement in power efficiency.
The heat generated by computer chips and circuit boards consumes significant power and the consequent cooling required consumes further power. Through design stage simulation and prototype testing, each focused on the thermal and airflow characteristics of the network gear, much improved efficiency can be “designed in”. Verizon’s new program details simulation and test procedures and establishes a process for review of the results and approval of the equipment design, starting as of July, 2010.
Chuck Graff, Verizon director of corporate network and technology, notes that “In the network venue, cutting down on the amount of cooling we have to do to optimize our equipment performance is a big target with big potential rewards.”
Rajesh Nair, Chief Technology Officer for Degree Controls, spoke at the recent 15th annual Verizon NEBS Conference and said “We are pleased and honored to be participating in this new program.” He went on to note that “Degree Controls specializes entirely in thermal and airflow technologies – so we’ve been ready for a program like this for years!”
Degree Controls, Inc. is a private New Hampshire firm engaged in solving thermal issues with highly engineered airflow in a wide variety of industries and applications, including telecom, medical, military, and data centers among others.
