As a reservist or guardsman you will most likely fall into this category. This where you will serve one weekend a month, two weeks a year. You will be required to complete 40 unit training assemblies or drills, and two weeks of annual training. For the most part, drills are held once a month on weekends.
After the water passes through the fill. it cascades down to a collection basin. at the base of the tower structure. From. the basin the cold water can be pumped. back into the system to extract process. or comfort cooling needs and begin the. cycle all over again.
There is a limit to the number of cycles attainable in a cooling tower. Windage, drift, and leakage are all sources of unintentional blowdown. Drift losses of up to 0.2% of the recirculation rate in older towers can limit cycles to 5-10. Additional losses due to leaks and windage can further limit some older systems.
