AIRPORT FABRICATION CORP Cooling Tower - La Mirada, California

AIRPORT FABRICATION CORP is a cooling tower facility located at 14301 Alondra Blvd in La Mirada, California, within Los Angeles County. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS code 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing). As a cooling tower, it provides heat rejection for industrial processes or building HVAC systems. The facility operates under California's stringent environmental regulations, which align with ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems and the U.S. EPA's refrigerant management rules under the Clean Air Act. Cooling towers in this region typically use water as a cooling medium, with efficiency measured by coefficient of performance (COP). The plant's capacity and specific technology are not detailed, but it likely serves the on-site manufacturing operations. Cooling towers play a critical role in industrial energy efficiency and thermal management. In the context of California's climate goals, such facilities must comply with regulations on water usage and refrigerant global-warming potential. The plant's location in a densely populated area underscores the importance of proper maintenance to ensure operational safety and environmental compliance.

Cooling towers consume significant water for evaporative cooling, which is a key environmental consideration in drought-prone California. The facility's refrigerant use, if any, must comply with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and the U.S. EPA's phase-down of high-GWP hydrofluorocarbons. Operational efficiency (COP) directly impacts energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
