- (b) positioning the auxiliary cooling tower adjacent the fixed tower;
- (c) leveling the auxiliary cooling tower;
- (d) connecting a liquid inlet port of the auxiliary tower to a liquid supply of the fixed tower;
- (e) connecting a liquid outlet of the auxiliary tower to a cold-water sump of the fixed tower whereby said portable auxiliary cooling tower and said fixed cooling tower are connected in parallel;
