States that the amount of potential energy savings available with free cooling systems depends almost totally on the overall system design and on the selection of equipment for use in the system. Points out that in general the designer must balance higher equipment cost with greater opportunity for energy savings. These savings – and their associated costs – are reasonably quantifiable so the designer can make intelligent choices guided by reliable information.
KEYWORDS: Free cooling, cooling towers, energy conservation, designing, selecting, equipment, costs.
