Abstract
In most operations, cooling towers are not
purposely overlooked by Plant Personnel. However,
the lack of knowledge about their importance
prevents energy managers from making intelligent,
informed decisions. This paper will compare
the various types of cooling towers in use. Their
operational and energy usage considerations will
be discussed with old and new techniques explained.
Cooling towers represent the last link to the
ultimate heat sink of the atmosphere. Their
importance must be recognized in any viable energy
management program.
