Cooling Tower System - Training Guide
============================================================

MINIMUM RESOLUTION: 980 x 600 px
RECOMMENDED: 1920 x 1080 (16:9) or larger

SIMULATOR OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------
Cooling tower system simulator covering fan operation, basin temperature control, chemical treatment, and approach/range calculations per CTI ATC-105 and ASHRAE.

Standards: CTI ATC-105 · ASHRAE 90.1 · ASME PTC 23

INTERFACE LAYOUT
----------------------------------------
- LEFT PANEL: System controls (Start/Stop/ESD/Reset, Mode toggle)
- CENTER: P&ID schematic with real-time process visualization
- RIGHT PANEL: System gauges, operational checklist, alarm list

OPERATING PROCEDURES
----------------------------------------
  Step 1: Verify basin level adequate
  Step 2: Start circulating water pumps
  Step 3: Start cooling tower fans
  Step 4: Verify CW supply temperature
  Step 5: Adjust fan speed for target approach
  Step 6: Check chemical treatment system
  Step 7: Verify blowdown rate
  Step 8: Record tower performance

SCENARIOS
----------------------------------------

  Normal Cooling Operation:
  Start cooling tower fans, balance cells, and maintain CW temperature.

  Fouling & Chemical Treatment:
  Manage scaling/fouling using chemical dosing — maintain cycles of concentration.

  Winterization Mode:
  Prevent freeze damage — manage basin heaters, fan cycling, and bypass.

ALARM RESPONSE
----------------------------------------
  BASIN_LEVEL_LOW [ALARM]: Basin level low — makeup failure
  HOT_WATER_HIGH [WARNING]: CW supply temperature high
  FAN_VIB_HIGH [WARNING]: Fan vibration exceeds limit
  FREEZE_RISK [ALARM]: Basin temperature approaching freeze
  CHEM_HIGH [WARNING]: Chemical concentration high
