                                ===================

SIMULTATION OF A COOLING TOWER IN ON-OFF REGIME

Routine TOWEROO deals with the part load peration of a cooling tower 
equipped with a one speed fan. Its purpose is to calculate the time 
period during which the cooling tower must operate in full load (ON 
regime) in order to reach a given set point temperature, i.e. a mean 
exhaust water temperature.
It is assumed that the part load operation can be represented by a 
simple linear combination of two steady-state regimes. 
Cyclic losses are not accounted for.

The "Off" regime may correspond to two different cases : 
1) Fan OFF and water pump ON (free convection regime): in this case a 
non-zero value is given to the AUoff parameter; 
2) Both fan and water pump off; this case is simply represented 
by imposing AUoff=0

Note: the time period mentioned above can be used in order to define 
the fan and pump electricity consumptions.
