  2. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    A typical large refinery processing 40,000 metric tonnes of crude oil per day (300,000 barrels (48,000 m 3) per day) circulates about 80,000 cubic metres of water per hour through its cooling tower system. The world's tallest cooling tower is the 210 metres (690 ft) tall cooling tower of the Pingshan II Power Station in Huaibei, Anhui Province ...

  3. Chilled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_water

    The cooling towers of a large chilled water system. As part of a chilled water system, the condenser water absorbs heat from the refrigerant in the condenser barrel of the water chiller and is then sent via return lines to a cooling tower, which is a heat exchange device used to transfer waste heat to the atmosphere.

  4. Hyperboloid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_structure

    Hence they are more commonly used in purpose-driven structures, such as water towers (to support a large mass), cooling towers, and aesthetic features. [3] A hyperbolic structure is beneficial for cooling towers. At the bottom, the widening of the tower provides a large area for installation of fill to promote thin film evaporative cooling of ...

    Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE. "Say" for EG, used to mean "for example". More obscure clue words of this variety include: "Model" for T, referring to the Model T.

  6. Water cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cooling

    Water is inexpensive, non-toxic, and available over most of the earth's surface.Liquid cooling offers higher thermal conductivity than air cooling. Water has unusually high specific heat capacity among commonly available liquids at room temperature and atmospheric pressure allowing efficient heat transfer over distance with low rates of mass transfer.

    An animation of a PWR power station with cooling towers A pressurized water reactor ( PWR ) is a type of light-water nuclear reactor . PWRs constitute the large majority of the world's nuclear power plants (with notable exceptions being the UK, Japan, India and Canada).

  9. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    The equipment used can consist of machines used to remove heat such as a chiller or a cooling tower and equipment for adding heat to the building's water such as a boiler or a commercial water heater. Hydronic fan coil units can be generally divided into two types: Two-pipe fan coil units or four-pipe fan coil units. Two-pipe fan coil units ...
