CARRIER BUILDING SERVICES Cooling Tower in Tucson, Arizona

CARRIER BUILDING SERVICES is a cooling tower facility located at 3540 S Campbell in Tucson, Arizona, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 333415 for air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it plays a role in the local cooling infrastructure for commercial or industrial applications. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regulations under the Clean Air Act, which govern refrigerant management and emissions. The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, adopted by the United States, drives the phasedown of high-global-warming-potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Cooling towers in this region typically use evaporative cooling, which can have significant water consumption implications in the arid Arizona climate. As part of the broader cooling infrastructure in Tucson, this facility contributes to the operational efficiency and reliability of HVAC systems in the area. Its location in Pima County places it within a region that experiences high cooling demand due to hot summers, making the efficiency and environmental performance of such facilities important for energy and water conservation.

Cooling towers in arid regions like Tucson, Arizona, face significant water consumption challenges due to evaporative cooling processes. The facility's environmental impact is also tied to refrigerant management, as leaks of high-GWP refrigerants can contribute to climate change. Operational efficiency, measured by the coefficient of performance (COP), is critical for reducing energy use and associated emissions. Regulatory compliance with EPA refrigerant rules and the Kigali Amendment helps mitigate these environmental risks.
