Course Description

This course in HVAC Design — Cooling Towers will benefit design professionals including engineers, architects, and designers, as well as those involved in facility management and maintenance. Upon completion of this course, you will have a better understanding of the principles involved in cooling tower sizing and selection as well as the design of related systems.

We begin by embarking on a journey where you are in charge of inventing the modern cooling tower. Along the way we review basic cooling tower operating principles. From there we take a look at all of the various types of cooling towers. Then we dive into the specifics of mechanical applications, piping arrangements, system design and redundancy. The text is filled with useful examples and colorful illustrations.

In the hands-on design section we cover cooling tower sizing, siting and location, code requirements, and construction materials. Next we study the unique nature of open systems, then delve into the details of pump sizing, cooling tower water consumption, filtration, and water treatment. HVAC Design — Cooling Towers is a valuable resource that no design professional should be without.
