A Cooling system normally involve evaporating water to lower the temperature of birds, hens, pigs, etc. Generally used only for the breeding-gestation herd. Cooling also takes place by air movement in hot weather.

- Cooling Degree Day (CDD) : A Cooling Degree Day (CDD) is
Cooling degree days are used to estimate how hot the climate is and how much energy may be needed to keep buildings cool.

A Cooling Electricity Use is amount of electricity used to meet the building Cooling load. (See: building Cooling load.)

A Cooling Tower is a structure that helps remove Heat from water used as a coolant; e.g., in electric power generating plants.

A Cooling Tower Blowdown Water is Water released from a Cooling Tower to maintain proper water Mineral concentration.

A Cooling Tower Make-Up Water is Water added to a Cooling Tower to replace water lost to Evaporation or blowdown.

A Cooling tower makeup is Water added to the recirculating Cooling Tower water stream to compensate for water Evaporation losses (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).

A Cooling water is Water typically used to cool heat -generating equipment or to condense gases in a thermodynamic cycle (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).

A Cooling water blowdown is Procedure used to reduce total Dissolved Solids by removing a portion of poor-quality recirculating water (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).

A Cooling water drift is Unevaporated water carried out of a Cooling Tower by the airflow; it has the same composition as the recirculating water (Brown and Caldwell, 1990).
