These shapefiles represent the seasonal (summer, winter, and annual) depth profiles to reach water at three different temperature measurements (8, 14, and 20 degrees Celsius). Sea water cooling can be used for industrial or residential cooling needs where heat must be rejected. A typical resource for direct air-conditioning applications is no warmer than 8 degrees C, which has been established as a minimum value of interest for this study. Water at temperatures between 8 C and 20 C can be used to supplement air conditioning processes, or to reject heat from many other low temperature industrial processes. Water temperatures above 20 C were not considered for this investigation as cost savings begin to break down as sea water temperature nears ambient temperatures. Depth profiles for three water temperatures of interest: 8 C, 14 C and 20 C were established to aid selection of optimal sites for sea water cooling. A cool shallow resource just off the coast where a need may exist presents significant opportunity for energy and cost savings.
