  2. Cooling tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_tower

    Wet cooling towers or open-circuit Cooling Tower or evaporative cooling towers operate on the principle of evaporative cooling. The working coolant (usually water) is the evaporated fluid, and is exposed to the elements.

  3. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

    Cooling towers are structures for cooling water or other heat transfer media to near-ambient wet-bulb temperature. Wet cooling towers operate on the evaporative cooling principle, but are optimized to cool the water rather than the air. Cooling towers can often be found on large buildings or on industrial sites.

  4. Chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller

    A liquid (glycol based) chiller with an air cooled condenser on the rooftop of a medium size commercial building. In air conditioning systems, chilled coolant, usually chilled water mixed with ethylene glycol, from a chiller in an air conditioning or cooling plant is typically distributed to heat exchangers, or coils, in air handlers or other types of terminal devices which cool the air in ...

  5. 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.

  6. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    A unit ventilator is a fan coil unit that is used mainly in classrooms, hotels, apartments and condominium applications. A unit ventilator can be a wall mounted or ceiling hung cabinet, and is designed to use a fan to blow outside air across a coil, thus conditioning and ventilating the space which it is serving.

  7. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

    Ventilation unit with heat pump & ground heat exchanger - cooling. Heat recovery ventilation (HRV), also known as mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) is a ventilation system that recovers energy by operating between two air sources at different temperatures. It is used to reduce the heating and cooling demands of buildings.

  8. Waste heat recovery unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit

    A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an example of a waste heat recovery unit that utilizes a regenerative process.. A waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) is an energy recovery heat exchanger that transfers heat from process outputs at high temperature to another part of the process for some purpose, usually increased efficiency.

  9. District cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_cooling

    District cooling is the cooling equivalent of district heating. Working on principles broadly similar to district heating, district cooling delivers chilled water to buildings like offices and factories. In winter, the source for cooling can often be seawater, so it is a cheaper resource than electricity to run compressors for cooling.
