Method and system for multi-purpose cooling

A method for a multi-purpose cooling system comprising:

• obtaining a wet bulb temperature of atmospheric air at a cooling tower from a temperature sensor;
• determining a first target incoming temperature for a first fluid at a first load center, and a second target incoming temperature of a second fluid at a second load center;
• based on determining the wet bulb temperature is above a first target temperature:
• configuring a first valve to direct the first fluid from the cooling tower to a heat exchanger, the first valve fluidically coupled to the first load center, the cooling tower, and the heat exchanger;
• and
• configuring a second valve to direct the second fluid from the second load center to the heat exchanger, the second valve fluidically coupled to the second load center, a chiller, and the heat exchanger.

A multi-purpose cooling system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• computer-executable instructions carried on a computer readable medium, the instructions readable by the processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:
• obtain a wet bulb temperature of atmospheric air at a cooling tower from a temperature sensor;
• determine a first target incoming temperature for a first fluid at a first load center, and a second target incoming temperature of a second fluid at a second load center;
• based on determining the wet bulb temperature is above a first target temperature:
• configure a first valve to direct the first fluid from the cooling tower to a heat exchanger, the first valve fluidically coupled to the first load center, the cooling tower, and the heat exchanger;
• and
• configure a second valve to direct the second fluid from the second load center to the heat exchanger, the second valve fluidically coupled to the second load center, a chiller, and the heat exchanger.
