Overview
BIG RED MACHINE SHOP is an operational cooling tower in Burbank, California, serving the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing sector (NAICS 333415).
BIG RED MACHINE SHOP operates a cooling tower facility located at 2522 N Ontario St, Burbank, California, within Los Angeles County. As part of the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing industry (NAICS 333415), this facility supports industrial cooling processes typical of the sector. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks including the Clean Air Act and the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which governs refrigerant use. Cooling towers in this region commonly use water-based evaporative cooling, with efficiency measured by coefficient of performance (COP) and water consumption considerations. This cooling tower contributes to the operational capacity of the manufacturing plant, ensuring temperature control for equipment and processes. Its location in Burbank places it within a dense industrial and urban area, where cooling infrastructure plays a key role in maintaining production reliability and energy efficiency.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in California operate under strict water efficiency regulations due to the state's arid climate and drought conditions. Evaporative cooling systems consume significant water, making water conservation and recirculation critical. Refrigerant management follows EPA SNAP rules to reduce high-global-warming-potential (GWP) substances. The facility's environmental impact depends on its specific refrigerant type and water treatment practices.
Frequently asked questions
The cooling tower is located at 2522 N Ontario St, Burbank, California 91504, in Los Angeles County, United States.
This cooling tower provides industrial cooling for the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing process at the facility.
The facility operates under NAICS code 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing.
Cooling towers in the U.S. must comply with the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which phases down high-GWP refrigerants under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act.
California's water scarcity requires cooling towers to implement water conservation measures, such as recirculation systems and efficient blowdown management, to comply with state water efficiency standards.
