The article discusses the enhancement by the company McGuire Engineers (MEPC) of the cooling system of the Chicago, Illinois-based Museum of Science and Industry. The cooling plant has three main criteria such as cool the existing load, be able to be installed in phases, and be as energy efficient as possible. Consistent flow over a wide range of pressures for a fixed valve position is maintained by pressure-independent control valves.
