When Temperatures are Bears

摘要

In this months issue, we have a lineup of articles to help you when your process temperatures are too high, too low, or just right. In Don Robson's "Three Cool Solutions," the vice president of engineering of Robson Industries Inc., West Chester, Pa., outlines the factors involved in designing or specifying a process water cooling system. Robson notes that in general, industrial process water is cooled by evaporative cooling towers, air-cooled heat exchangers or refrigerant chillers. Regardless of the system chosen, it is essential to review and understand the manufacturer's specifications for cooling water to design or specify a successful system. The water temperature required for the process also will influence the type of system you choose.
