Scope
INTRODUCTION Facility cooling systems can vary in configuration and equipment. Time and cost pressures can cause a disproportionate focus on simply designing cooling systems that deliver the capacity needed and ignoring other critical considerations. However@ the focus should be much broader and balance the various considerations and trade-offs@ such as flexibility; scalability; ease of installation@ commissioning@ and operation; ease of maintenance and troubleshooting; and availability and reliability. Any one or combination of the five considerations just mentioned can significantly change how the facility cooling systems are designed@ what equipment is used@ and the overall system architecture.
