317712206 - MANNS MANUFACTURING Cooling Tower, Hubbard, Oregon

317712206 - MANNS MANUFACTURING operates a cooling tower facility in Hubbard, Oregon, within the United States. The facility is classified under NAICS 333415, which pertains to air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it plays a role in rejecting heat from industrial processes or HVAC systems. The facility operates under U.S. regulations, including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program governing refrigerant use. The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol also influences refrigerant phase-downs. Cooling towers in manufacturing typically use water as a heat transfer medium, with efficiency measured by the coefficient of performance (COP) and water consumption varying between evaporative and air-cooled designs. This facility supports the local manufacturing industry in Hubbard, Oregon. Its operational status ensures continued heat rejection capacity for industrial processes. The environmental impact depends on refrigerant type and water usage, with modern systems aiming for high COP and low global-warming-potential refrigerants.

Cooling towers in manufacturing facilities like this one can have environmental impacts related to water consumption and refrigerant use. Evaporative cooling towers consume significant water, while air-cooled designs reduce water use but may have lower efficiency. Refrigerants with high global-warming potential (GWP) are being phased down under the Kigali Amendment and U.S. regulations. Efficient operation and low-GWP refrigerants are key to minimizing the environmental footprint.
