The Fine Line of Heat Rejection
Selection of heat rejection equipment has traditionally been a choice between higher energy consumption of an air cooled solution and high water consumption of a water cooled solution. This paper examines advancement in heat rejection technology and the way it can be applied to air conditioning and refrigeration plant in health care and other facilities.
