Cooling towers

Evaporative heat-rejection systems that cool condenser or process water near the ambient wet-bulb temperature.

Role in the thermal chain

Reject campus heat through evaporation.

Cooling towers can provide efficient heat rejection, but water sourcing, cycles of concentration, treatment, drift, plume, and local regulation are important project constraints.
