Alpine Refrigeration Products, LLC Cooling Tower in Clarksburg, West Virginia

Alpine Refrigeration Products, LLC is a cooling tower facility located at 801 E. Pike Street in Clarksburg, West Virginia, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 333415, which covers air conditioning, refrigeration, and forced air heating equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it supports industrial processes by dissipating heat, typically using evaporative cooling technology. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including the Clean Air Act and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 15 for refrigeration safety. 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 sector often use water as a cooling medium, with efficiency measured by the coefficient of performance (COP) and water consumption considerations. Alpine Refrigeration Products contributes to the local industrial infrastructure in Clarksburg, supporting manufacturing operations that rely on precise temperature control. The facility's role in heat rejection is critical for maintaining operational efficiency and product quality in the HVAC equipment sector. Its location in West Virginia places it within a region with a mix of industrial and commercial activity.

Cooling towers like this one typically use evaporative cooling, which consumes water and can lead to drift losses. The environmental impact depends on water source sustainability and treatment of blowdown. Refrigerant use in associated equipment is regulated under the Clean Air Act and the Kigali Amendment, which aim to reduce emissions of high-GWP substances. Operational efficiency (COP) and water conservation practices are key factors in minimizing the facility's environmental footprint.
