Digital access to the 2025 version of DA17 will be available in December 2025.

Updated in 2025, DA17: Cooling Towers is the comprehensive guide to the design, installation and operation of cooling towers in Australia.

It provides guidance on the classification, manufacture, design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of cooling towers and cooling water systems.

The 2025 version is particularly relevant for those working on data centre projects, many of which are now turning to cooling towers to manage heavy cooling loads.
