Let's have a look at the water efficiency (WE) credit, cooling tower, water use, this credit applies to the following product types. The intent is to conserve water, useful cooling towel, makeup, while controlling microbes, corrosion and skill and a condenser water system.

Refrigeration systems remove heat, usually from air to cool interior building spaces. This heat is expelled into either the atmosphere or not. Immediately, a cooling tower or a separate condenser removes heat, in part by evaporating water as the water absorbs heat.

A change from a liquid to a vapor. As the water evaporates, however, these old salts become more concentrated in the remaining water and eventually begin to deposit scale on the cooling tower or evaporate. Condense around events, making such system less efficient to prevent buildup of deposits. Cooling tower systems remove a portion of the water through a process called blowdown.

Make a water is then added to replace evaporative losses and blow down volume. Cooling towers can therefore account for a large portion of a building's total water use to significantly reduce make up water inputs. It's important to achieve it.

Target cycles of concentration. Increasing the number of cycles can save thousands of gallons of potable water during a building's peak cooling periods and chemically analyze and make a water allows for calculation of optimal cycles.

The requirements are as follows. Four cooling towers and evaporate condensers conduct a one-time potable water analysis measure. At least five control list is in table one. Then calculate the number of cooling tower cycles by dividing the maximum allowed concentration level of each by the maximum fountain in table and limit cooling tower cycles to avoid exceeding any of these parameters.

If the maximum number of cycles is achieved without exceeding any filtration levels or affecting operation of the condensed water system up to a maximum cycle of ten, one point is awarded and achieve a minimum of 10 cycles. By increasing the level of treatment in the condenser or make a water for two points or meet the minimum number of cycles to earn one point and use a minimum 20 percent of recycled non potable water to score two points.

Now, let's have a look, an example before we close this section here, we see an example of analysis to make a water for cooling tower at an office building and refuse the following concentrations. So, as you see, for calcium, for example, the make of water concentrates is one hundred people for alkalinity to one a PPM. 

So how do we calculate the number of cycles? Basically, we divide one by the other. So a thousand Avado, one hundred for calcium and four alkalinity, a thousand divided by two hundred. It's five.

We go through that list and the lowest number here, this is number five, is the maximum of cycles of concentration for this make up water. Pretty straightforward for this credit. No exemplary performance is available.
