I have a question: what is the relationship between the volume of the circulating water tank, the cooling tower, and the amount of circulating water used?

I have a question for everyone: in a project where the water consumption for circulation is 500 m3/h, the cooling capacity of the cooling tower is 600 m3/h, yet the volume of the circulation tank is set at 100 m3. Could this meet the requirements? How to understand the consumption of circulating water? Does it refer to the water flow rate passing through a certain point each hour during the cycle? If the volume of the recirculation tank is 100 m3 and the water consumption for recirculation is 500 m3/h, then will the water overflow from the tank when the system is shut down and the water flows back? I’m a complete novice; I hope the more experienced members can help me resolve my doubts.
The circulating water consumption is 500 m3/h, the cooling capacity of the cooling tower is 600 m3/h, yet the volume of the circulating water tank is set at 100 m3. It definitely cannot meet the needs.
If the volume of the circulating water tank is 100 m3 and the consumption of circulating water is 500 m3/h, when the system is shut down the water flows back and overflows from the tank; there is no time to refill the water when the system is started up.
There is also the issue of concentration ratio during operation; the volume of the circulating pool is 100 m3, so it is necessary to add water and remove wastewater frequently.
The closed-loop theory is feasible, but when the system is stopped, water flows back and overflows from the tank; there’s no time to refill the water when the system is in operation, and water replenishment is often necessary

Under normal circumstances, it is desirable for the system volume to be as small as possible, as this can reduce the amount of medication required
The concentration ratio is related to the amount of evaporation and the volume of wastewater discharged; it is not related to the volume of the tank or the system. Please do not mislead others
They know something, but don’t understand the specifics. Forgive them.
The water consumption for circulation at 500 m3/h and the volume of the circulation tank at 100 m3 are two different concepts. It is not possible to calculate the increases and decreases simultaneously.
