Produktbeschreibung

Cooling Towers and Chilled Water Systems: Design, Operation, and Economic Analysis is a guide to the design and operation of cooling systems within high temperature settings. The book presents various strategies to increase the turndown of cooling towers and chilled water systems and provides a toolkit for engineers to determine the use of variable frequency drivers. A guide to equipment selection for optimal design during the detailed engineering phase is provided, ensuring the reader is able to comply with the project specification within budget. Sections discuss various systems, circuits and processes for cooling tower and chiller systems before detailing design principles. Operational and control strategies are then discussed before a thorough analysis of economic factors, making this book idea for professional engineers, graduate students and researchers working in high-temperature settings, such as power generation or chemical plants. - Presents strategies and tools for engineers to develop and manage efficient cooling towers and chilled water systems - Analyzes the economic benefits of cooled water system designs through the full lifecycle, instructing the reader on how to accurately estimate operating costs - Guides the reader through appropriate equipment selection to comply with project needs

Autorenporträt

Dr. Pontes' career started as a chemical engineer at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), when he started working for the research and development department of Ultragaz. In 2000, he returned to USP to start his Master's degree in chemical engineering, which he concluded in 2002. He then went to work as a project engineer working for Exen while simultaneously started his Doctor's degree. From 2010 to 2014, Dr. Pontes went to work for Pöyry also as a project engineer. In 2014, Dr. Pontes worked for American Process, where he left in 2016 to return to his academic career at Universidade Mackenzie. Later in that same year, Dr. Pontes moved to Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), lecturing courses on Process Simulation and Chemical Industry Projects. In 2018, he received a grant from FAPESP for his research project on the Optimal Synthesis of Cooling Water Systems.
