Explanation / Answer

Ans- Closed loop, because water is NOT exposed to the atmosphere when falling through the tower.

A closed cooling tower circulates warm water from the chiller plant through tubes located in the tower. In a closed tower, the cooling water does not come in contact with the outside air. Water that circulates only within the cooling tower is sprayed over the tubes and a fan blows air across the tubes. This cools the condenser water within the tubes, which is then recirculated to the chiller plant
