Cooling ponds are man-made bodies of water primarily used to cool hot water and/or to store and supply cooling water to nearby power plants or industrial facilities such as oil refineries, pulp and paper mills, chemical plants, steel mills or smelters.Overview[edit]Where sufficient land is available
READ MOREDeep water source cooling is very energy efficient, requiring only 1/10 the average energy required by conventional cooling systems. [1] Therefore, its running cost is also expected to be greatly reduced.The energy is very localized and fully renewable, provided that the water and heat discharged in
READ MOREA cooling tower is a device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere by cooling a coolant stream, usually a stream of water, to a lower temperature. Cooling towers can use the evaporation of water to remove process heat and cool the working fluid to near wet-bulb air temperature, or in the case of
READ MOREHeating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) cooling towers are used to dispose of ("reject") unwanted heat from the chiller. Liquid-cooled chillers are generally more energy efficient than air-cooled chillers because the tower water rejects heat
READ MOREAnother very important reason for using biocides in cooling towers is to prevent the growth of Legionella, including species that cause Legionnaires' disease or Legionnaires' disease, most notably Legionella pneumophila [34] or Mycobacterium avium [ 35]. Various Legionella bacteria are the cause of
