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.
A basic knowledge of the move-. ment and usage of water in a cooling water system is es-. sential to maximizing the control over the system in prepa-. ration for running a high-cycle operation. Operation at high cycles in a cooling tower can increase. the corrosion and scaling tendencies of the water. There-. fore, exchangers that experience second- or third-pass. water can incur more problems when operating at higher. cycles.
