Cooling towers are highly
efficient at rejecting heat from industrial
and commercial processes such as refrigeration
and air conditioning.
However they can present a health hazard
to the public as bacteria such as Legionella
( the causative agent for Legionnaires'
disease) can multiply in the cooling
system environment.
