Zusammenfassung:75 An apparatus to provide cooling water to multiple facilities including a hydrogen plant that includes electrolyzers for manufacture of hydrogen and/or an ammonia plant including ammonia manufacturing for making ammonia. The apparatus can include a first cooling tower configured to provide cooling water at a first temperature for providing cooling to elements of the ammonia manufacturing and/or hydrogen plant. The apparatus can also include a second 80 cooling tower configured to providing cooling water at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature for providing cooling for gas coolers and electrolyte coolers of the hydrogen plant. The first and second cooling towers can be configured to utilize sea water or fresh water. The cooling towers can also be arranged and configured to permit substantial capital cost reductions while also providing improved maintenance and safety features as well as improved 85 operational flexibility.
