CW is more commonly used for condenser water.

These abbreviations should be changed: CDWP pump - condenser water pump LTCDWP pump - low temperature condenser water pump CDWV valve - condenser water valve

This one is correct: HTCWP pump - high temperature condenser water pump

Looking at the following CIBSE guide, it looks like in the UK condenser water is commonly abbreviated: CDW, with CW referring to cold water and CHW referring to chilled water.

I understand that in the US it is more commonly abbreviated as per your comments above, @chilger, correct?

RitaLav, Can you give the definition of "cold water"? What temperature or used of water is consider "cold water"? Yes, the US uses CW for Condenser Water.
