Risk: Medium Cooling Tower Operational

CHUBBYS AUTOMOTIVE Cooling Tower, Sylmar, California

SYLMAR, California, United States

Overview

CHUBBYS AUTOMOTIVE operates a cooling tower in Sylmar, California, serving the Los Angeles area. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 333415 for air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing.

CHUBBYS AUTOMOTIVE is a cooling tower facility located at 14960 W Polk St, Sylmar, California, within Los Angeles County. The plant is operational and falls under the NAICS code 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As a cooling tower, it likely supports HVAC or industrial processes in the region. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the Clean Air Act and the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, which mandates a phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Cooling towers in California must comply with state regulations on water efficiency and refrigerant management, such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) refrigerant management program. Typical cooling towers in this sector range from small commercial units to large industrial systems. Cooling towers play a critical role in heat rejection for commercial and industrial applications. In the Los Angeles area, they contribute to energy efficiency in buildings and manufacturing processes. The facility's environmental impact depends on its refrigerant type, water consumption, and energy efficiency. Without specific data, general sector risks include high global-warming-potential refrigerants and water usage, though modern systems often use lower-GWP alternatives and recirculate water to minimize consumption.

Environmental context

Cooling towers in California operate under strict environmental regulations, including the AIM Act for HFC phasedown and state-level water conservation mandates. The facility's refrigerant choice and water management practices are key environmental factors. Evaporative cooling towers consume water, while air-cooled systems use more energy. In the Los Angeles basin, water scarcity and air quality concerns drive adoption of efficient designs and low-GWP refrigerants.

Frequently asked questions

CHUBBYS AUTOMOTIVE is located at 14960 W Polk St, Sylmar, California 91342, in Los Angeles County, United States.

CHUBBYS AUTOMOTIVE operates a cooling tower, which is a heat rejection device used to remove waste heat from processes or buildings, typically in HVAC or industrial applications.

The facility is classified under NAICS 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing.

Cooling towers in the US must comply with the Clean Air Act, the AIM Act for HFC phasedown, and state-level regulations. In California, additional rules from CARB on refrigerant management and water efficiency apply.

Key concerns include refrigerant global-warming potential, water consumption (especially for evaporative towers), and energy efficiency. Regulations aim to reduce high-GWP refrigerants and promote water conservation.
