... The water amounts for C are about one order of magnitude smaller than the amount of water required by the cooling system [10]. Processes under this parameter include FGD systems, dust removal, water gas shift, etc. [14] Since there are many processes that require small amounts of water, it can be di ...

Water cooling

Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components and industrial equipment. As opposed to air cooling, water is used as the heat conductor. Water cooling is commonly used for cooling automobile internal combustion engines and large industrial facilities such as steam electric power plants, hydroelectric generators, petroleum refineries and chemical plants. Other uses include cooling the barrels of machine guns, cooling of lubricant oil in pumps; for cooling purposes in heat exchangers; cooling products from tanks or columns, and recently, cooling of various major components inside high-end personal computers. The main mechanism for water cooling is convective heat transfer.
