Cooling Tower Fundamentals & Best Design Practices

This book includes the latest information for designing state of the art, reliable, GREEN and sustainable cooling tower systems. It is based on new technology and engineering standards such as ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013. The emphasis is on maximum possible water and energy savings to have a GREEN operation. It can qualify the system for LEED points. The material includes a sample project with piping and instrumentation (P&ID) drawings that shows the design process such as calculation and sizing, equipment selection, controls and operation sequences using optimization approach in simple steps. This book is highly recommended for engineers, architects, designers and maintenance staff who are involved with new or existing cooling tower systems. Engineers who are seeking Professional Engineering (P.E.) Certificate will highly benefit from this book.
