Abstract: A cooling unit having a liquid coolant flow through the cooling unit and a gas coolant flow through the cooling unit is controlled using a temperature signal representing a present temperature associated with equipment cooled by the cooling unit and a delayed-effect variable signal representing a variable having a potentially delayed impact on the temperature associated with the equipment cooled by the cooling unit. A thermal system model to which the temperature signal, the delayed-effect variable signal, the liquid coolant flow and the gas coolant flow are inputs is used to calculate a projected future temperature associated with the equipment. Responsive to the projected future temperature, coolant flow is adjusted to target the projected future temperature toward a set-point by adjusting the liquid coolant flow and the gas coolant flow. The delayed-effect variable signal may represent, for example, a processing workload or a current drawn by the equipment.

Abstract: A hardfacing process includes depositing a clad layer having a thickness greater than about 1 mm (0.04 in) on a surface of the component by arc welding, and creating a heat affected zone directly below the clad layer due to the depositing. The heat affected zone may be a region of the component where a lowest hardness is more than 40% lower than a base hardness of the component below the heat affected zone. The method may also include heat treating the component after the deposition such that the lowest hardness in the heat affected zone is restored to within about 15% of the base hardness of the component.
