AIRTEX MANUFACTURING LLLP ENGINEERED AIR Cooling Tower in De Soto, Kansas

AIRTEX MANUFACTURING LLLP ENGINEERED AIR is a cooling tower facility located at 32050 W 83RD ST in De Soto, Kansas, United States. The plant is operational and serves the industrial sector, specifically under NAICS code 333415 for air conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it provides essential heat rejection for industrial processes, contributing to the operational efficiency of the manufacturing site. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the Environmental Protection Agency's regulations on refrigerants. The United States is a signatory to the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which mandates phasedown of high-global-warming-potential refrigerants. Cooling towers in this region typically use water as a cooling medium, with efficiency measured by coefficient of performance (COP) and water consumption considerations. The plant's location in De Soto, Kansas, places it within a region with a continental climate, where cooling demand varies seasonally. The facility's role in supporting manufacturing operations underscores its importance to local industrial activity. Its operational status ensures continued service to the community and downstream industries.

Cooling towers like this one use water evaporation to reject heat, which can lead to significant water consumption. In Kansas, where water resources are managed carefully, the facility's water use efficiency is an important environmental consideration. Additionally, the plant's refrigerant management practices are critical due to the global-warming potential of common refrigerants. Compliance with the Kigali Amendment and U.S. EPA regulations helps mitigate climate impact.
