Summary

Water-cooled systems offer lower energy use than air-cooled alternatives. Many years ago, the first water-cooled systems used potable water directly in the condenser to provide heat rejection with the cooling water wasted to a drain. Cooling towers were developed to recycle more than 98% of this water, resulting in tremendous reductions in water and energy use as these systems grew in both size and popularity.
