Closed loop cooling water system design.

There are a few perfect things in this world a baby s smile beachfront sunsets and a pitcher who retires 27 consecutive batters come to mind but unfortunately for those who operate commercial or industrial facilities hot water heating process loops or closed loop cooling water recirculation systems are not one of them. For example a fluid cooler or radiator. If the seller proposes to change the. When properly designed for the commercial or industrial process cooling load both system types can offer unparalleled energy efficiency reliability and longevity.

Seller shall have the ability to design treatment systems to meet the water quality of each system. Heat exchanger device to transfer heat energy to a cooler medium. Benefits of closed loop water chiller systems. Figure 1 provides an illustration of a closed loop fresh water cooling system consisting of heat exchangers circulating pumps orifice plates and over 300 m of pipework.

Employing a closed loop water chiller system is not only a financially sound decision but also an environmentally friendly one. The importance of a closed loop water system for water treatment. With very real concerns about the higher water consumption of open loop systems closed loop cooling technology is gaining broader appeal every year. The water in your cooling or heating system dramatically affects performance.

In a closed system water circulates in a closed cycle and is subjected to alternate cooling and heating without air contact. A closed loop cooling system consists of four elements. The current treatment regimen is listed below. A closed loop cooling system can exchange heat with the main cooling water system in conventional tube and shell heat exchangers or plate and frame heat exchangers.

If you regularly monitor and treat the water in the cooling mechanism it will reduce problems from water deposits. Heat load industrial process or equipment that reduces heat as a by product. Heat absorbed by the water in the closed system is normally transferred by a water to water exchanger to the recirculating water of an open recirculating system from which the heat is lost to atmosphere figure 32 1. For example an air compressor or furnace.
