A computer simulation, or model, of a chiller plant must, by the author’s definition, duplicate the performance of the real plant within 1%-3% to qualify as a tool to design and evaluate the plant at ...

•Water In: The amount of recirculating cooling water entering the wet tower. This depends on the plant size, steam cycle heat rate and cooling water temperature drop range. It is the sum of cooling ...

Hospitals consume approximately 5% of the total energy use in the United States. That equates to 458 trillion Btus (Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey [CBECS]). Hospitals spends ...

Learn how Tower Tech turned the cooling tower industry literally upside-down, designing a solution for better maintenance and worker safety. Harold Curtis's practical experience identified key ...

A novel technology that is surprisingly simple in principle promises to significantly reduce water consumption in evaporative cooling tower systems by capturing water from cooling tower plumes.
