01State the available utility
Record supply temperature across the year, available flow and pressure, return restrictions and water-quality information. Identify whether the circuit is open or closed and whether other users can reduce available capacity. A nominal pipe size does not establish cooling performance.
02Match the equipment requirements
Compare the utility data with the compressor or auxiliary equipment specification. Ask about heat rejection, pressure loss, fouling sensitivity and any required treatment. Review how the package responds to insufficient cooling and how alarms reach the operator.
03Verify at operating load
Measure the relevant supply and return conditions during representative production. Retain them as a baseline for diagnosing later temperature changes. If an installation shares cooling water, test a credible simultaneous-demand condition rather than only the gas package running alone.
