Hydronic Systems: Cooling Tower Basics
Did you know dry-coolers can only take advantage of the difference between the water temperature and the dry-bulb temperature, so they cannot support the temperature needs of most refrigeration systems? This interactive online course has been created with the practical user of water based (hydronic) heating and cooling systems in mind. The goal is to introduce and understand one of the most basic elements in a hydronic cooling system: The cooling tower. Here we will convey the fundamentals of the means of heat rejection so that you can responsibly and confidently manage and operate buildings that utilize such systems. The objectives of this course are to understand open tower construction and operation; fluid cooler construction and operation; and to provide an overview of water treatment basics.
