In part because they are closed-loop systems, it can be easy to ignore power plant cooling water systems that support the reliable functioning of everything from stator bars in the generator to ...

Figure 1. A closed-circuit cooler. Photos courtesy of Evapco. It’s a common question during the early design phase of large mechanical systems: Is open- or closed-loop cooling equipment better suited ...

While closed loop cooling reduces local fresh water withdrawals, it still relies on energy intensive systems that shift the environmental burden upstream. The true opportunity lies in reimagining AI ...
