DWD INTERNATIONAL Cooling Tower | Houston, Texas Industrial Cooling Infrastructure

DWD INTERNATIONAL is a cooling tower facility situated at 2033 Johanna Dr, Houston, Texas, in the United States. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS codes 333132 (Oil and Gas Field Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing) and 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing), indicating its role in supporting industrial processes. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes adherence to ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems and compliance with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol for refrigerant management. Cooling towers in the region typically use evaporative cooling, which can have significant water consumption, and may employ refrigerants with varying global-warming potential. As part of Houston's industrial infrastructure, DWD INTERNATIONAL contributes to the cooling needs of local manufacturing and energy sectors. The facility's operational status and location in a major industrial hub underscore its importance in maintaining efficient thermal management for regional industries.

Cooling towers like DWD INTERNATIONAL often use evaporative cooling, which consumes significant water resources and can lead to water loss through drift and blowdown. The environmental impact also depends on the refrigerants used; older systems may rely on high-GWP refrigerants, while newer installations are transitioning to lower-GWP alternatives under the Kigali Amendment. Operational efficiency, measured by coefficient of performance (COP), is a key factor in reducing energy consumption and associated emissions.
