Abstract: Cooling systems have been widely applied in the process industry, which generally falls into two categories: air cooling and water cooling. Despite that both of these cooling types has their own specific advantages, resource consumption, especially energy and water, is inevitable to maintain system operation. Facing with overwhelming challenges in the industry field such as energy and water conservation, given selection of cooling type, it is imperative to take resource consumption and economy effect into account.
