ARCTIC INDUSTRIES, INC. is a cooling tower facility located at 9731 NW 114 WAY in Miami, Florida, United States. As a cooling tower, it plays a role in industrial and commercial HVAC systems, providing heat rejection for processes or building climate control. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 333415 for air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing. The facility operates under U.S. regulations, including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's refrigerant management programs under the Clean Air Act. Cooling towers in Florida often use evaporative cooling, which can have high water consumption due to the warm climate. Typical cooling towers in industrial settings range from small (under 500 tons) to large (over 1,000 tons). Environmental considerations for cooling towers include water usage and potential for legionella growth. The facility's location in Miami, a humid subtropical climate, means evaporative cooling is common but requires careful water treatment. The plant contributes to local cooling infrastructure, supporting commercial and industrial operations in the area.

Cooling towers in Florida face environmental challenges related to water consumption and refrigerant management. Evaporative cooling systems, common in humid climates, can use significant water resources. Refrigerant leaks from associated chillers may have high global warming potential if not properly managed. The facility likely complies with EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act and may be subject to state water use permits.
