A Cooling Electricity Use is amount of electricity used to meet the building Cooling load. (See: building Cooling load.)
A Cooling Tower Blowdown Water is Water released from a Cooling Tower to maintain proper water Mineral concentration.
A Cooling Tower Make-Up Water is Water added to a Cooling Tower to replace water lost to Evaporation or blowdown.
A Cooling tower makeup is Water added to the recirculating Cooling Tower water stream to compensate for water Evaporation losses (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).
A Cooling water blowdown is Procedure used to reduce total Dissolved Solids by removing a portion of poor-quality recirculating water (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).
A Cooling water drift is Unevaporated water carried out of a Cooling Tower by the airflow; it has the same composition as the recirculating water (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).
A Cooling water evaporation is Cooling water recycling approach in which water loses Heat when a portion of it is evaporated (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).
