Seaton Engineering Notes

Technical Journal & Practical Guides

In-depth articles authored by our workshop instructors on thermodynamics, electrical standards, acoustic dampening, and chip tuning.

Industrial ventilation ducting and high volume air exhaust system

Calculating True CFM Airflow Requirements for Regional Victorian Mining Sheds

Why standard axial exhaust fans fail during Australian 38°C summer heatwaves, and the exact mathematical formula to compute cubic feet per minute (CFM) against static pressure drops in intake louvres.

Industrial electrical distribution board with high-capacity circuit breakers and wiring

Sub-Panel Electrical Safety for Mining Loads under AS/NZS 3000 Standards

Continuous load derating, neutral current balancing in 3-phase circuits, and breaker curve selection when running high-duty mining hardware on Australian 240V/415V systems.

Acoustic insulation foam panels and wooden baffle workshop construction

Acoustic Silencing Enclosures: Physics of Noise Attenuation Without Choking Airflow

How to cut high-frequency 6,000 RPM fan whine from 82 dBA down to a comfortable 48 dBA using labyrinth baffle geometry, mass loaded vinyl, and acoustic mineral wool.

Electronic circuit diagnostic testing and microprocessor telemetry curves

Precision Undervolting & Frequency Tuning on Modern ASIC Hashboards

Deep dive into voltage stepping, silicon binning variances, and how custom tuning firmware can reduce power consumption by 18% while preserving reliable hash rates.

Looking for Hands-On Practice?

These guides outline the underlying theory, but real hardware confidence comes from hands-on lab teardowns, multimeter probing, and oscilloscope signal tracing in our Seaton facility.
