As electricity demand soars during summer heat waves, many power plants find themselves constrained by their ability to cool ...

Water-Cooled Technology Cuts Costs Also Provides Reduction in Peak Demand June 9, 2014 This analysis shows how a water-cooled 500-ton chiller system when compared to a 500-ton air-cooled chiller ...

Figure 1. This is an example of the chiller water box cover removed so the tubes can be accessed. (From Practical Cooling Technology by William Johnson, published by Delmar Cengage Learning.) (©Delmar ...

This can be seen most clearly when an adiabatic system that uses evaporation of water to pre-cool ambient air is added to an air-cooled chilled water system. Using a 3 megawatt (MW) data center ...

Facilities that have gone through optimization of their cooling systems have successfully raised their chilled water temperatures to 50°F (10°C) or higher. According to Johnson Controls, it is ...

Stator cooling water treatment is often ignored—until the generator fails. Proper treatment and monitoring is essential to keeping the copper in your stators, where it belongs.

Cooling towers: In the Jan. 2 California section, an article about the water wasted by buildings’ old cooling systems said that more than half the water flowing through a Wilshire Boulevard ...
