Overview
97095 - Daikin Applied Americas Inc operates a cooling tower in Owatonna, Minnesota. The facility supports HVAC manufacturing under NAICS 333415.
97095 - Daikin Applied Americas Inc is a cooling tower facility located at 1001 21st Ave NW, Owatonna, Minnesota, United States. The plant is operational and serves the air-conditioning and industrial refrigeration sector, specifically under NAICS code 333415 for air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes adherence to ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems and the Environmental Protection Agency's regulations under the Clean Air Act. As a cooling tower, it likely uses evaporative cooling, which involves water consumption and potential for drift emissions. Typical cooling towers in industrial settings range from small (under 500 tons) to large (over 2000 tons) of refrigeration. Cooling towers play a critical role in rejecting heat from industrial processes and HVAC systems. This facility supports Daikin's manufacturing operations, contributing to the production of efficient cooling equipment. The environmental impact includes water usage and potential for legionella growth, which is managed through regular maintenance and water treatment protocols.
Environmental context
Cooling towers like this one use evaporative cooling, which consumes significant water and can lead to drift emissions containing treatment chemicals. The global-warming potential of refrigerants used in associated systems is a key concern, though the facility itself does not directly emit refrigerants. Operational efficiency is measured by the coefficient of performance (COP), and water conservation measures such as recirculation and blowdown treatment are important for reducing environmental impact.
Frequently asked questions
The cooling tower is located at 1001 21st Ave NW, Owatonna, Minnesota 55060, United States.
This cooling tower provides heat rejection for industrial processes and HVAC systems at Daikin's manufacturing facility, which produces air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment under NAICS 333415.
The specific capacity of this cooling tower is not publicly listed. However, cooling towers in industrial manufacturing settings typically range from 500 to over 2000 tons of refrigeration.
Cooling towers in the US must comply with ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems, EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act for refrigerant management, and local water discharge permits. The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol also governs refrigerant phase-downs.
Cooling towers consume water for evaporative cooling and may release drift containing treatment chemicals. They also require regular maintenance to prevent legionella growth. Water conservation and efficient operation are key environmental focuses.
