小型机设备的更新与维护的环境成本比较研究

Comparative Research on the Environmental Cost of the Maintenance of the Minicomputer

随着计算机和相关技术的快速发展,淘汰和报废的电子计算机正越来越多并成为社会的负担。本文针对小型机设备的更新和维保两个方面进行研究。首先计算家用电脑生命周期的各个部分的环境成本,折算到小型机上。然后,从对环境影响的角度出发,对维修后继续用和扔掉后更换成新设备这两者成本进行对比,找出在小型机产品生命周期结束的最佳时间。

With the rapid development of computer and its correlation techniques, the discarded computers are becoming a growing burden to the modem society. This essay puts its effort on the minicomputer component update and maintenance work. Firstly we will calculate the environmental cost caused by each period of the life cycle of a minicomputer, then draw a contrast between the cost of reuse the minicomputer after maintenance and of replace a new one, in order to figure out the optimal time at which the life cycle of computer product ends.
