COLMAC COIL MFG INC Cooling Tower, Colville, Washington | United States Cooling Infrastructure

COLMAC COIL MFG INC is a cooling tower facility located at 370 N Lincoln St, Colville, Washington, United States. It serves the manufacturing sector, specifically under NAICS code 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing). The plant is operational and situated in Stevens County. The facility operates a cooling tower, a common technology for heat rejection in industrial processes. In the United States, cooling towers are regulated under environmental and safety standards, including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the Clean Air Act for refrigerant management. The plant's capacity and specific technical details are not disclosed, but typical cooling towers in this sector range from small to medium scale. Cooling towers play a critical role in maintaining operational efficiency for manufacturing plants. They help manage thermal loads, reducing energy consumption and supporting consistent production. The facility's location in Colville contributes to local industrial activity, and its compliance with U.S. regulations ensures safe and environmentally responsible operation.

Cooling towers can have environmental impacts related to water consumption and refrigerant use. Evaporative cooling towers consume significant water, while air-cooled systems use less water but may have lower efficiency. Refrigerants used in associated chillers have varying global-warming potentials, and U.S. regulations under the Clean Air Act and Kigali Amendment aim to phase down high-GWP refrigerants. Typical industrial cooling towers in the U.S. are subject to these environmental considerations.
