Frequently Asked Questions
About Cooling Water
Cooling water is a fundamental utility used to dissipate heat from industrial processes. It circulates through heat exchangers and other cooling systems, absorbing heat from equipment and processes. The heated water is then cooled, often through evaporation in cooling towers, before being recirculated.
