3. Cooling systems
The cooling circuit comprises all the equipment required to circulate water in the system to be cooled (pumps), exchange heat with the medium to be cooled (plate or tubular exchangers, etc.), and exchange heat with the surrounding environment (cooling tower, chiller).
3.1 Cooling circuit types
There are three types of cooling circuits:
Direct flow" open circuits, in which all pumped water is returned to the natural environment after use as a heat recovery fluid, without evaporation. This type of circuit is suitable for plants using seawater as a coolant, and rarely for plants using surface water. The availability of seawater explains its use in open circuits, although...
