A cooling system has an ethylene glycol coolant transport loop which is cooled by the existing plant ammonia based refrigeration system. The coolant loop employs ethylene glycol to transport heat between an ammonia evaporator and the hydraulic systems of individual machines. The ethylene glycol coolant is supplied from a supply header which is connected to a return side header by individual cooling loops which pass through the heat exchangers mounted on individual machines for cooling the machine hydraulic fluid. The supply header is also connected to the return header by a regulating valve set to maintain a constant pressure drop between the supply header and the return header. Each machine coolant fluid flow can be adjusted by a regulating valve which is adjusted by reference to a flow meter on a particular coolant loop. As each individual coolant loop is adjusted, the regulating valve between the supply header and the return header will require adjusting either automatically or manually to maintain a constant pressure drop between the supply header and the return header.
