.Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.BaseClasses.CoolingTower

Information

Base class for a steady-state cooling tower. The variable TAirHT is used to compute the heat transfer with the water side of the cooling tower. For a dry cooling tower, this is equal to the dry-bulb temperature. For a wet cooling tower, this is equal to the wet-bulb temperature.
