Evaporative Cooling for Commercial and Industrial Facilities

Evaporative cooling can be an energy efficient and cost-effective means of cooling residential, industrial, and commercial facilities. When compared with standard mechanical cooling, evaporative cooling can provide substantial energy savings. This type of cooling can be provided using several technologies including direct, indirect, or hybrid evaporative cooling, pre-cooling of condenser surfaces or by taking advantage of cooling tower "free cooling" techniques, either direct or indirect.

In addition, this course presents the science of evaporative cooling, the different systems, typical commercial and industrial applications, economic considerations, and maintenance and water treatment.
