Cooling
Process cooling is used to remove heat from a process to protect it against overheating
or to achieve / maintain a certain temperature. Many cooling applications use
water as a medium to absorb heat, because water has a high boiling point and high
specific heat. There are many different ways to set up an industrial cooling system:
once-through-, closed recirculating and open recirculating cooling system.
