# Cooling Source
|
|
|
|
A cooling source represents a facility-level source of cooling, such as a chiller, cooling tower, or dry cooler. It serves as the upstream origin for one or more [cooling feeds](./coolingfeed.md) which distribute coolant to racks and devices. A cooling source is not modeled as a device; it represents external facility plant.
