shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them by this section:
The cooling or dehumidification or both of space for human
occupancy, food preservation and industrial processing.
One or more air conditioning units, either air cooled or
water cooled and if water cooled, the water for same shall pass through

same space or adjacent space under one owner or tenant would create
separate systems.

air conditioning system.
The heat required to melt ice at the rate of one ton in 24
hours, and one compressor horsepower shall be considered equivalent
to one ton of refrigeration.
A cooling tower, spray pond, evaporation condenser or other
equipment by which water is cooled and recirculated, thereby limiting
the use of water from the mains to that amount through evaporation.
A regulating valve or other device, the purpose of which
is to limit the maximum use of water to a predetermined rate.
