Seemed like it at first. Lined up from the "cooling" tower which is always set around 96F.

Oh, it’s hot in the summer. Believe me, I know. God doused with hot 1,1,2, trichloroethylene from a line that wasn’t supposed to be pressurized one night and went to the safety shower and it was hot as hell. But not above boiling.

Cooling towers are to cool heated fluids back to ambient, not chill them

Cooling tower water is process water that can potentially be contaminated from leaks from equipment. Only potable/drinking water can be used in a safety shower. Because safety showers sit idle when not in use, heat from the sun or other process equipment can cause the water to feel quite hot. I've heard of thermal devices set to open at a certain temperature to introduce a small flow to the line, thus ensuring cooler water on demand.

Safety shower lined up to the cooling tower?! That seems like a terrible idea. The ph in those are monitored and adjusted all of time but it often varies and is susceptible to process contamination…. Just seems like a bad practice
