Cable Programmer Turns To Dehumidification Technology
KNOXVILLE, TN — With the heat load produced by broadcast operations servers and associated high-tech equipment at the corporate headquarters of Scripps Networks in Knoxville, mechanical engineer Greg Farmer needed a reliable means to cool and dehumidify the space.
Maintaining 24-hour space conditions with backup redundancy from the cooling system is critical for the newest broadcast operations floor of Scripps, which is the home of HGTV, The Food Network, DIY Network, and FineLiving Network. HVAC failure is not an option for the Scripps computer and digital broadcast environments, which are part of the company’s latest 36,000-square-foot addition. Failure to maintain precise temperature could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost broadcast revenue, not to mention equipment replacement.
