138 The One That’s All About Cooling Towers - Part 2
Last week we heard from Evapco’s Brett Alexander. Brett explained the inner workings of all types of cooling towers and how we can tell the differences between them. We also discussed the different metallurgies that these devices are made of. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to last week's episode, please do so.
