Immersion Cooling Technology Gaining Ground in Data Centers
Cooling of data centers is one of the US Department of Energy’s challenges and poses a real challenge for HVAC design engineers. Traditionally, this has been done by blowing large volumes of cold air through the building. Directing the air through the racks to pass over cooling fins to dedicated return air aisles behind the […]

Eiffel Tower Goes Green with New Refrigerant
Eiffel Tower goes Green with New Refrigerant As the world pays more attention to carbon dioxide and improves its energy efficiency, refrigeration engineers are looking at the harmful impacts their refrigerants create when released. Original refrigerants R-11 and R-12 were very efficient, but destroyed ozone. So, R-22 and later R-134a were developed to have low […]

Energy Efficiency using 100% Outside Air?
Every HVAC engineer knows that air quality usually improves with the more outside air that is brought into a space. This is particularly true for hospitals and other spaces where indoor air contamination is an issue. However, using lots of outside air means also having to use more energy to condition the air. In many […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – “Forever Grateful to Dr. Tom’s Classroom”
“It has long been a personal goal (as well as a professional goal) to get the satisfaction of fulfilling the requirements to be recognized as a licensed professional engineer. Kansas State University did a very good job of emphasizing the importance of licensure during the curriculum as many of my former classmates and current colleagues boast having […]
Future-proofing Your Engineering Resume
A recent article by Jeffrey Winters, Editor-in-Chief of ASME magazine, titled “Soft Skills Provide an Enduring Edge,” provided some valuable insights from several individuals, many involved in recruiting engineers for their company, into how to “future-proof” your resume. Here are some of the comments that caught my attention: “As far as skills I see among students coming […]
Gender Differences Create Expensive Overcooling in Offices
A Nature.com scientific report provides additional confirmation of something most of us that work in offices or who design office buildings already know – women are always cold and men always hot in the office. The authors analyzed over 38,000 responses from a Center for the Built Environment survey performed by the University of California, […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – “I Passed, All Thanks to Your Course”
“I took the Mechanical TFS exam and found out I passed! This was all thanks to your course and following the Dr. Tom method. I did not graduate with a Mechanical Engineering degree so some of the topics (especially heat transfer and HVAC) were new to me, but your lessons were a great way to […]
