Located in the far Southwest corner of the complex—roughly in the same area as the previous plant—the CCP employs water extracted through the River Water Pump Station on the other side of the West Side Highway, to chill (and heat, during the Winter) water for distribution to the rest of the complex. It will circulate 30,000 gallons of river water every minute. That s enough to fill 750 bath tubs, flush 10,000 toilets, and cool the same amount as approximately 2,500 home air-conditioners. It uses the Hudson as a way of both dissipating heat and preheating water. Because water below a certain depth is a pretty constant temperature, during the winter it takes less energy to heat and circulate it, and conversely, in the summer it takes less to cool it. The new World Trade Center is already 75 percent old.Show MoreRelatedContemporary Issues in Management Accounting211377 Words   |  846 Pageson acid-free paper by Antony Rowe Ltd., Chippenham, Wiltshire ISBN 0–19–928335–4 978–0–19–928335–4 ISBN 0–19–928336–2 (Pbk.) 978–0–19–928336–1 (Pbk.) 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 3 FOREWORD ‘ Michael Bromwich is an exemplar of all that is good about the British tradition of academic accounting.
