Optimize Cooling Water Supply To Reduce Costs
12/28/2012Plastics Technology
In the last three articles (March, May, Sept. 2012), we introduced the problem of wasted energy in cooling-water systems and presented two types of solutions—minimizing “parasitic” heat gains and raising water temperatures to minimize demand.
Energy Miser: For Energy-Efficient Water Cooling, Raise Temperatures to Cut Demand8/27/2012Plastics Technology
Many plants use chilled-water temperatures that are far lower than are actually needed by the process. This has a direct effect on the cost of chilled water.

OVERVIEW:
Heating & Cooling
The temperature of the process, machine and tooling need to be regulated to produce quality parts. Temperature control devices such as process chillers are typically water or oil-based; the selection depends on the temperature range required by the process. Chillers can be portable or centrally located. Industrial cooling towers are installed outside the plant building generally either elevated on a stand, or mounted on the roof.
