A supercomputer generates a lot of heat, so it needs air conditioning to compensate, otherwise it would overheat the room and burn itself up.

∙ 13y agoMost computer equipment requires cooling of some type, passive or active. A supercomputer will generate a lot of heat, which heats up the room, and must be dissipated.

Why computer room are air conditioned?
Remove heat. Large computers often use large amounts of electricity and thus disapate large amounts of heat. Gotta get rid of that heat.
How do you calculate the air changes in textile industries?
Here's the formula: In plain English, we're changing CFM into Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH). Then we calculate the volume of the room by multiplying the room height times the width times the length. Then we simply divide the CFH by the volume of the room. Here's how a full formula works: Now, compare the air changes in the room to the required air changes for the type of room it is on the Air Changes per Hour Download accompanying this article. If it's a lunch or break room that requires seven to eight air changes per hour, you're right on target. If it's a bar that needs 15-20 air changes per hour, it's time to reconsider. Let's look at this engineering formula differently. When airflow is unknown and you need to calculate the required CFM for a room, first you look at the Air Changes per Hour Chart and identify the required air changes needed for the use of the room. Let's say it's a conference room requiring 10 air changes per hour. Next calculate the volume of the room (L x W x H). Then divide by the required air changes per hour to get required CFM. if you have any doubt pl mail me at selvapdm@gmail.com
What generation of computer require air conditioner?
All really large computers regardless of generation need an active cooling system (e.g. air conditioner, circulating liquid Freon, circulating chilled water) to dispose of their waste heat.I even have a quad-core microprocessor desktop computer that uses an internal sealed liquid coolant system to transport the waste heat from the microprocessor to the blower. The air leaving this computer's vents can be hot enough when it is working hard that it would really help if the room had an air conditioner!first generation (vacuum tube) computers all needed internal active cooling systems, because vacuum tubes produce very large amounts of waste heat even when idle!second generation (transistor) computers may or may not have needed internal active cooling systems, but the computer room they were installed in was usually air conditioned to the point of being uncomfortable to be in (except for the smallest machines in this generation, some of which could be installed in ordinary office rooms).third generation (integrated circuit) computers only large machines (e.g. supercomputers) needed significant internal active cooling systems (which were usually either circulating liquid Freon or circulating chilled water), although usually no longer necessary for most computers of this generation the computer room they were installed in was usually air conditioned to the point of being uncomfortable to be in.fourth generation (microprocessor) computers have usually not needed internal active cooling systems, with the exception of very high performance multicore microprocessor systems and microprocessor based supercomputers.
What does environmentally controlled room mean?
A room where things like temperature, humidity, air pressure, or even microbial or contaminent content are controlled to meet a specific purpose.
Does the air national guard and the army national guard work together?
The Army National Guard and Air National Guard do work together. Although, most missions are different and require that they work on different tasks. You will most definitely see Army and Air National Guard working together on a big project.
Does iron placed in an air conditioned room rust?
yes
Can you do weight loss exercise in air conditioned room?
Yes
How can you make your nose runny?
Get wet then sit in an air conditioned room.
What will happen if you put the air conditioner's compressor in the air-conditioned room?
It would be loud and annoying.
Why is it that when you are entering an air conditioned room you are told to close the door always?
To maintain the temperature within that room.
How do you keep my pregnant cat cool?
Keep the room well air conditioned.
What is ac register?
An Air Conditioning (ac) register is the little grille in the ceiling where conditioned air comes into a room.
What happens when an air freshener is used in an air-conditioned room in terms of kinetic molecular theory?
by diffusion jaajajaja
Will a cloth dry faster in a normal temperature room or a air conditional room at night?
Under most conditions, a cloth will dry faster at normal (warmer) temperature sooner than in the relatively cooler air-conditioned room. However, if the air-conditioned room has been cooled for long enough, the excess moisture will have been removed and the humidity will be lower.
What unit of measurement would be used to measure the temperature of an air-conditioned room?
Degrees Celsius.
Why spectacle lenses become misty when one steps out of an air conditioned place?
If your glasses get cold enough in the air conditioned room then step into a warm humid outdoors some water vapor can condense on the glass.
