In industrial facilities, such as manufacturing/processing plants, mills/forges, and refineries, cooling towers are often used to remove heat from machinery, heated ...

Editor’s note: This is the first of a multi-part series by Brad Buecker, President of Buecker & Associates, LLC. Power and co-generation facilities have multiple cooling systems for various plant ...

How hot does your engine run? Is it on the cool side? The hot side? Where should it be? How big of a radiator should you run? Antifreeze or water? Tap or distilled? Do you need a pressurized cooling ...

In previous parts of this series, we examined many issues related to primary cooling water treatment at power and industrial plants. However, most large plants have a number of closed water systems ...

With rising temperatures, humans have become more reliant on cooling technology to maintain stable temperatures. As a result, buildings are using more energy to cool, and urban areas are particularly ...

A novel technology that is surprisingly simple in principle promises to significantly reduce water consumption in evaporative cooling tower systems by capturing water from cooling tower plumes.

A British-Indian research group has developed an active cooling technique that is claimed to improve a PV system’s yield by around 0.5%. The system could be used in residential solar arrays and the ...

Evaporative cooling towers play an important role in green buildings by significantly reducing energy consumption when they supplement or replace traditional air conditioning systems, thereby reducing ...
