Cooling towers: an efficient water-cooled cooling system.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Industrial processes and air conditioning systems generate heat that must be removed. Water is commonly used as the heat transfer medium. There are still a few installations that use mains water through the system discharging to waste. However, the evaporative cooling principle is more widely used in the form of a cooling tower or closed circuit cooler, the water consumption rate being about 5% of that of a once-through system.
