Overview
Daikin Applied - FBS is an operational cooling tower facility in Faribault, Minnesota, United States. It serves the HVAC manufacturing sector under NAICS 333415.
Daikin Applied - FBS is a cooling tower facility located at 300 24th St NW, Faribault, Minnesota, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. As part of Daikin Applied, a global leader in HVAC solutions, this facility plays a key role in producing cooling infrastructure components. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards such as ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety. These regulations govern refrigerant use, safety, and emissions. In Minnesota, the facility must also comply with state environmental regulations regarding refrigerant management and water usage. Cooling towers are critical for heat rejection in HVAC systems and industrial processes. The facility's location in Faribault, within Rice County, supports regional manufacturing and contributes to the local economy. Environmental considerations for cooling towers include water consumption (evaporative vs. air-cooled systems) and refrigerant global-warming potential. Daikin Applied is known for advancing energy-efficient and low-GWP refrigerant technologies, aligning with global trends under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in the United States, such as this facility, operate under EPA regulations that phase down high-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants. Water consumption is a key environmental factor, with evaporative cooling towers using significant water resources. Daikin Applied has been proactive in developing systems using lower-GWP refrigerants, reducing the environmental footprint. The facility's location in Minnesota, a state with cold winters, may also influence operational efficiency and seasonal water use.
