Its not that exciting, really. They're just running the pumps fast. The system has the ability to absorb: H2o_heat_capacity*mass flow rate * delta(T) = coolin

Its not that exciting, really. They're just running the pumps fast.
The system has the ability to absorb:
H2o_heat_capacity*mass flow rate * delta(T) = cooling_power.
The first term is know and very large. The last term is determined by the number of users and is estimated with forcast usage models. Ask an Env Eng a desired delta(T) and you get the mass flow rate required.
- timr 3y agoI made another comment down the thread where I estimate this at 1.3 million gallons per minute if you want to have no more than a 1 degree C heating effect. It's a lot of flow.
