Title: If a rig uses 1kW/h does that mean 1kW/h of heat or less? Post by: mackminer on September 30, 2011, 12:19:12 PM Thank you. :)

Title: Re: If a rig uses 1kW/h does that mean 1kW/h of heat or less? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on September 30, 2011, 12:27:28 PM It's 1 kwh not kw/h. (power = energy * time. kW * hours = kWh).
Yes all electrical power used by a computer gets converted into heat. Technically it isn't exactly 100%. Some gets converted into infared light and if your computer is near a window could "escape" your house. However for all intents & purposes. 1kWh load = 1kWh thermal energy added to your house. 1 kWh ~= 3400 BTU if that helps you think about it in easier terms.

Per basic physics it means 1kwh heat - other energy output which is sound (VERY little) and anything else. People learn this in 5th grade here. Energy preservation. ESPECIALLY: YOU CAN NEVER HAVE MORE HEAT THAN THE ENERGY YOU USE. This is when you burn something the inner energy (exothermic reaction) bu a computer does not use up any fuels, you know.

Wow I've never met anyone that knows everything before. Can I PM you with any questions or better yet would you be able to create your own blog I can subscribe to?
I work in ERP and have many questions regarding Navision and SAP. I've only 4 years experience - but now that I've met ye? I'll even pay you.

Post by: TiagoTiago on October 02, 2011, 12:14:59 AM My computer is kinda noisy, and if i was deaf i could still tell if it was running by feeling the desk, all that noise and vibration is still nothing compared to the heat it produces?

Most of that becomes heat anyways. It is simply indirect. Instead of electricity -> heat it is electricity -> vibration -> heat. Title: Re: If a rig uses 1kW/h does that mean 1kW/h of heat or less? Post by: TiagoTiago on October 02, 2011, 01:07:35 AM Ah, right, everything eventually turns to heat.
