A cooling tower is rated at 200 cottons capacity. Assuming the electricity used was 6 kWh/MMBtu of cooling and electricity was $0.09/kWh, what would be the cost of cooling (in $/mmbtu) when the tower was operating at full capacity?

Solution

200 tons of refrigeration   = 0.24 MMBTU/hr

Electricity used   = 6 * 0.24 = 1.44 kW

cost of electricity   = 0.09 * 1.44   = 0.1296 $/hr
