Cooling towers on buildings harbor amoebas infected with both known and unknown types of bacteria. New research raises the possibility that such towers are more effective than natural waters at ...

HVAC contributes nearly 4% of annual carbon emissions.[i] Decarbonizing heating and cooling is essential as efforts to battle climate change continue. But relying on conventional cooling towers likely ...

Advanced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) cooling towers result in increased energy efficiency, lower maintenance, and new antimicrobial options that make it a superior option. Recently, the American ...

Marshall County has been managing an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease that has killed one person since it was first identified in August. The state of Iowa announced on Sept. 4 that it is ...

An adiabatic cooling tower system can save great amounts of water at power plants compared to typical wet-type cooling towers. While there are challenges to implementation, understanding how these ...

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.

•Water In: The amount of recirculating cooling water entering the wet tower. This depends on the plant size, steam cycle heat rate and cooling water temperature drop range. It is the sum of cooling ...
