The root of this cyber-physical risk is that computers now control nearly every mechanical process.... Thermostats, HVAC [heating, ventilation and air conditioning] systems and locks, among others, are now increasingly just interconnected computer systems. Hacking the network of an interconnected smart building could provide access to all connected devices. As the adoption of technology and connectivity increase, physical cyber attacks and failures have become a reality for many industries, from health care facilities to power plants, aviation to manufacturing. 3, record 1, English, - cyberphysical%20risk

Ammonia compressor treatment. Refrigeration systems that use ammonia as the refrigerant are often called compression refrigeration systems. The refrigerant vapor is compressed and passes to the condenser where heat is removed by cooling water. These systems often use an evaporative condenser or cooler to condense the ammonia. 4, record 2, English, - ammonia%20compressor
