Owning and Operating an Efficient Cooling Tower

For many large commercial and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems, heat is rejected using cooling towers and evaporative condensers. This one-day seminar examines the trade-off between cooling tower size and energy savings. It will address several cooling tower efficiency measures and other relevant issues including cooling tower sizing, approach control strategies (efficient fan operation), water treatment (including ozone), and water conservation. This course also includes several local case studies.

As a separate course: Ozonation for Cooling Towers

Ozonation is an economically viable and environmentally attractive alternative for cooling tower water treatment in many installations. This course briefly reviews basic cooling operations and conventional water treatment options and explores the considerations associated with ozone water treatment. Additional course topics include energy and water savings, regulations, financial analysis, and case studies.

As a separate course: Conductivity Controllers for Cooling Towers

This course explores systems that can benefit from conductivity controllers, and explains how they are used. This course also addresses heat gain, types of chiller systems, cooling tower operations and design, need for cooling tower water treatment, and automatic cooling tower control systems for water treatment, and conductivity controllers.
