Extreme weather conditions

The above-mentioned codes contain requirements for accelerated durabiUty tests. In addition, interlayer manufacturers and laminators expose test samples for several years under extreme weather conditions, eg, the Florida coast and Arizona desert. The laminated products weather extremely well, with no change in the plastic interlayer. Occasionally, clouding is noted around the edges when exposed to high humidity for long periods, but this is reversible. Colored areas of PVB laminates may fade while subjected to extensive uv/solar irradiation, which could cause an appearance issue. This has not, however, been shown to alter the laminate s other performance properties. 

Significant levels of herbicides have also been detected in rivers, although these are usually transitory. Heavy rainfall can move herbicides from agricultural land to nearby ditches and streams due to runoff, and in soils that are high in clay, percolation of water occurs through deep fissures with consequent movement into neighboring water courses. Such events under extreme weather conditions are likely to have contributed to the pulses of herbicide contamination observed in some rivers. Questions have been asked about possible effects of such episodic pollution on populations of aquatic plants. 

A cooling tower is provided in series with the ground loop to assist during peak loads in extreme weather conditions. The cooling requirement of the... 

Ground loop must be sized to meet the heating and cooling loads during extreme weather conditions. 

Everyone is sensitive to extreme weather conditions. But with age, the body may become less able to respond to long exposure to very hot or very cold temperatures. Some older people might develop hypothermia when exposed to cold weather. Hypothermia is a drop in internal body temperature, which can be fatal if not detected and treated. 

The covers are constructed from aluminum or some type of steel. This should provide adequate protection from being pierced or cut through. The metals are corrosion resistant so that they will not corrode or become fragile from extreme weather conditions in outdoor applications. The bolts used to install each of these systems are galvanized steel. In addition, the bolts for each cover are installed on the inside of the unit so they cannot be removed from the outside. 

When intumescent and subliming mastic coatings are to be installed in areas prone to extreme weather conditions, the manufacturer s recommendation for applying protective sealing should be followed. Also, note should be taken of these circumstances where a manufacturer advises against installing a material.

Global deviations should sometimes be considered in a HAZOP review. Global deviations are generally considered the effects that would simultaneously effect the entire process or facility. These are, but not limited to, equipment layout, seismic activity, flooding, sandstorm, extreme weather conditions, loss of power, human factors, etc. 

Extreme weather conditions, ranging from frozen arctic to hot deserts and strong winds can be handled. 

The emollient may need to be applied more frequently in extreme weather conditions, at least three or four times a day. 

However, according to climate scientists, the world may soon be approaching greenhouse gas levels dangerously close to tipping points , beyond which nothing can be done to reverse an accelerated warming [9-15], The predicted effects of this would be a massive rise in sea levels, extreme weather conditions and widespread extinction of animal and plant species [16].
