Code for design of cooling for industrial recirculating water

1 General provisions

1.0.1 This code is formulated with a view to implementing the technical and economic policies of the nation in design of facilities for cooling for industrial recirculating water and thus achieving advanced technology, safety and applicability, economic rationality, energy saving and environmental protection and guaranteed quality.

1.0.2 This code is applicable to process and structural design for open recirculating water cooling facilities.

1.0.3 The type selection of recirculating water cooling facilities shall be determined through technical and economic comparison according to the production process requirements for the quantity, temperature and quality of recirculating water, as well as operation mode of water supply system, etc., and in combination with the following factors:

1 Local natural conditions, such as hydrogeology, meteorology, topography and geology;

2 Supply of materials, equipment, electricity and make-up water;

3 Site layout and construction conditions;

4 The interaction between recirculating water cooling facilities and the surrounding environment;

5 Safety reliability of buildings (structures).

1.0.4 In addition to this code, the design of recirculating water cooling facilities shall also meet the requirements of the current relevant standards of the nation.
