PDH CREDIT: 5
An Introduction to Cooling Tower Water Treatment
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course describes water treatment requirements for the most common cooling tower systems, once-through and open recirculating, in industrial applications.

 

Cooling water systems remove heat generated from a variety of industrial processes. There are three basic types of cooling water systems: once-through, open recirculating, and closed recirculating cooling water systems.

 

This 5 PDH online course is intended for mechanical engineers and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to the technologies, equipment and operational practices for treatment of cooling tower water.
