14、art 1 : General and guidance. ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING Purpose The purpose of environmental engineering is to make the equipment and the environment mutually compatible. This means that in some instances the equipment has to be modified and/or protected to resist a given environment, in other insta

15、nces the environment itself must be conditioned to fit to the equipment. The fitting of the equipment to its environment and its effect on the environment need to be carefully evaluated. Finally testing reveals whether the equipment/environmental fitting is successful. Economical and technical aspec

16、ts Environmental requirements have a number of economical and technical consequences. These include: - the equipment specification - the equipment design - the choice of materials - the testing procedure and protection, if any - the operational conditions and application The environmental requiremen

17、ts relating to equipment specification and design must be considered and stated in an early phase of a project. If this is not done, significant economic and technical difficulties may occur during later phases of the project. An “overspecification” resulting in “overdesign” will be costly, complex

18、and may not necessarily lead to a more reliable product. To stringent a requirement for the environmental conditions at the equipment locations may also be costly and complex. The introduction of a protection whether in the equipment or on the environment always requires an economical evaluation. In

19、 the test specification this protection must always be taken into account. Thorough testing is costly and time consuming. Hence selecting the most relevant and cheapest test procedures for the equipment is most important. Proper environmental engineering seeks to balance the above costs against the

20、costs of environmentally induced failures. Such costs arise from - elimination of the failure - possible redesign - operational losses - possible compensations The process involves both technical and economic optimization according to the application of the environment.

25、mental conditions are limited to the physical and chemical conditions to which an equipment is subjected at a certain time for (more or less) well-defined locations and applications. Physical and chemical conditions should be considered in a very broad sense. They cover not only the two main areas -

26、climatic and mechanical conditions-, but also borderline and transitional areas, e.g. biological and chemical conditions as well. The environmental conditions comprise those conditions appearing in nature as well as “artificial” con- ditions. The “artificial” conditions may be of a favourable nature

27、, e.g. a house being heated during the cold season, but may also be of an unfavourable nature, e.g. thermal influence from the equipment itself or from other equipment. Typical environmental conditions usually have simple names, such as “outdoors”, “in a car”. However, such “typical” conditions invo

28、lve numerous environmental factors (parameters) varying apparently at random in strength (severity) and having complex interactions. These factors determine the actual influence of the environment on the relevant equipment. Because of this only parameters having a singificant effect on the equipment

29、 are considered. 4.2. Purpose of classification The main purpose of environmental classes is to establish a number of “standardized” and operational frames of reference for a wide range of applications of (telecommunications) equipment. These classes cover use, transportation, etc. in typical enviro

30、nmental conditions. The classification is derived from the fact that it is generally very difficult to describe environmental conditions in detail and even more difficult to apply the results in practice. Until recently the only tool was some specific tests covering few environmental effects. The in

31、troduction of the concept of environmental classes is a more powerful tool. The environmental classes apply to: - Requirements on the environment prescribed by the Administration or the manufacturer. - Resistibility requirements on the equipment. (Important for the designer and forming a basis for t

32、esting.) - Emission re uirements on the equipment which, in certain situations, may need restricting, e.g. dissipated heat, such t 9, at the interference on the original environment is “negligible”. (Where negligible in this context means that conditions defined by the environmental class are stili

33、valid.) 4.3. Classes An environmental class is a systematic representation of the environment for a family of locations with “similar properties”. This means that the detailed description of the class is like an envelope around a group of related environmental conditions. The class itself may not be

34、 considered directly as a typical example. A class is composed of the most significant single factors, named environmental parameters, selected from those which may be assumed to influence equipment performance. Severities and other characteristics are appended to the parameters to specify the class

35、 (cf. 4.4. and 4.5.). 4.4. Parameters Environmental parameters represent those physical or chemical properties of an environment which can be distinguished and specified in relatively simple terms. In many instances it is necessary to state additional detail parameters in order to make the specifica

36、tion unambiguous. Figure 2 (T/L 02-12) shows typical examples of parameters with their related detail parameters covering both climatic and mechanical conditions. Most detail parameters are quantified by their characteristic severity (cf. 4.5.). In some instances, however, the value of the detail pa

37、rameter may not be considered as a severity, e.g. frequency range, although still a characteristic measure. In Figure 2 (T/L 02-12) these parameters are marked with a *. In a few instances the parameter itself may be qualitatively expressed, e.g. “conditions of condensation”, with the “value” “yes o

38、r no” without further details (considered as a characteristic). However, the fact that these conditions may occur should be reflected in both the design phase and the test procedure.

41、ss. 4.5. Severities The severity of a parameter or detail parameter is generally the quantitative measure of the stress introduced by the parameter involved. It may be stated as magnitude, rate or duration. A practical example will show some fundamental aspects regarding the concept of severity. The

42、 example considers the climatic parameter “outdoor air temperature” for a defined geographical area. The statistical distribution of the observed temperatures is shown as a histogramme in Figure 3 (T/L 02-12), where the dashed curve is an approximation to a continuous distribution. It seems that the

43、 distribution has two peaks and that the extremes are about - 15” C and 30” C. Considering the definition, where the severity is a measure of the stress, it is obvious that the parameter “outdoor air temperature has to be split into two parameters: - low air temperature - high air temperature becaus

44、e either may induce its own stress with its own consequential failure mechanisms on the equipment. The parameters “Low air temperature” and “High air temperature” are shown in Figure 4 (T/L 02-12). Both show increasing stress and correct fractiles to the right. The values to the left are more or les

45、s undefined. The characteristic severity can thereby comply with the dehition that this severity (Le. the stress) is rarely exceeded.

48、 I TIL 02-12 E Page 10 Figure 4(a) (T/L 02-12) shows the right-hand side-i.e. high temperature part, of the distribution shown in Figure 3 (T/L 02-12). The shaded portion of Figure 4(a) (T/L 02-12) represents 1 % of the total area under the curve of Figure 3 (T/L 02-12) and has been calculated by nu

49、merical integration. The left-hand vertical edge of the shaded portion intersects the temperature axis at some temperature Tu. The temperature Tu represents the boundary value, for a given distribution, which is acceptable as an upper characteristic severity. (In the example shown in Figure 4(a) (T/L 02-12), Tu = 23.4“C. Depending upon circumstances a higher severity temperature value may be appropriate. See also Figure IO (T/L 02-12). Figure 4(b) (T/L 02-12) is a mirror-image of the left-hand side-i.e. low temperature part-of the distribu- tion shown in F
