Also attacked for energy usage, so either or here. Atleast real evap vs cooling tower is much better use of the water. Cooling towers then that water off to run the compressors for normal cooling is a double whammy

(Have AC in the office areas). I have them (3 huge ones) on timers. They kick on about 7:30 each week day morning. You can see the humidity take a vertical jump when they come on. IAT tracks OAT but the coolers make the slope of the line much less. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
