WSHP System Control and Optimization Part 2: Freeze Protection Strategies for Cooling Towers

Most commercial WSHP system will require a cooling tower, which can either be an open or a closed-circuit design. If the system is in a part of the country that periodically sees sub-freezing temperatures during the heating season, it must be….

Cooling Tower and Condenser Water Design Part 5: Maintaining Minimum and Maximum Flows

We like to vary flow through our hydronic systems, don’t we? After all, less flow equals less pump energy. But when it comes to cooling tower performance and longevity, just be careful not to overflow or underflow the tower. Either scenario can lead to some pretty costly problems.
