Water Usage Rates Info
Cooling towers and other evaporative cooling equipment technologies use
water up at a rate that varies depending on the application.
It is not uncommon for a system to use up to 2 gallons per hour per ton
of cooling capacity.
In GLD, 2 gallons per hour per ton would be entered as 0.033
gallons per minute per ton.

As with all engineering designs, it is ultimately the responsibility of
