What components are included in the volume of a circulating water system?
Pool + pipes + heat exchange equipment, the sum of the three
The volume of the water storage tank and the inlet and outlet pipes.
Cooling water is divided into the following categories: 1. Direct-current cooling water system – In this system, the cooling water comes into direct contact with the cooling medium, and the water is discharged after use； II. Circulating cooling water system: The cooling water is reused in this system, which is divided into two types: 1. Closed circulating cooling water system – The cooling water remains enclosed during circulation, resulting in minimal water loss. II. Open-loop circulating cooling water system: The circulating water is cooled in a cooling tower before being reused; evaporation and wind-induced losses are significant, but it still saves a lot compared to direct cooling water use. :lol
This includes the total volume of pipelines, the volume of tanks, the liquid holding capacity of the fill material in cooling towers, the volume of filtration equipment, and the water volume within heat exchangers, among others.
