This course has been created with the practical user of water based (hydronic) heating and cooling systems in mind. The goal is to introduce and understand one of the most basic elements in a hydronic cooling system: the cooling tower. Here we will convey the fundamentals of the means of heat rejection so that you can responsibly and confidently manage and operate buildings that utilize such systems. The objectives of this course are to understand open tower construction and operation; fluid cooler construction and operation; and to provide an overview of water treatment basics.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is hydronics? Hydronics is a means of heating and cooling using a fluid as the heat transfer medium.
What is the difference between an open system and closed system? An open system has some point in the system open to the atmosphere, while a closed system is not open to the atmosphere at any point; the fluid is never exposed to anything outside of the system itself.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics? The First Law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred or changed in form
What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics? The Second Law says that as energy is transformed and transferred, more and more of it is wasted as heat.
What is conductivity? Conductivity is an indicator of the number of suspended solids that are in the water.
