Using Onion Diagram for the Reduction of Water and Energy in Cooling Systems.

This paper presents an onion diagram that show a methodology for water and energy reduction in cooling systems. The illustrative form shown through the diagram, allows to implement step by step the methodology concerning to each element that need to be reduced. First it seeks to reduce the water, later the thermal energy, and finally the electric energy. The diagram will allow to the users identify in a simple way the opportunity areas for water and energy savings in cooling systems. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
