Power cooling technology has come a long way since the Clean Water Act was passed in the 1970s. Now, the choice between a wet, dry or hybrid cooling system depends on a host of variables. Since the initial passage of the Clean Water Act and other environmental laws in the early 1970's, both the regulations governing discharge of the resulting waste heat and the technology for complying with them have become increasingly complex. As a result, the decision as to the type of cooling system to use depends on a variety of project parameters, such as size of unit, site, and environmental constraints.
