Engineered Coil Company D.B.A. DRS Marlo Coil Cooling Tower, High Ridge, Missouri

Engineered Coil Company D.B.A. DRS Marlo Coil is a cooling tower facility located at 6060 HWY PP in High Ridge, Jefferson County, Missouri, United States. The plant is operational and serves as a key component in the company's manufacturing and cooling solutions for HVAC and industrial processes. The facility operates under the NAICS code 333415, which covers air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment and commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment manufacturing. In the United States, cooling towers are regulated under ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and must comply with EPA's refrigerant management programs under the Clean Air Act. The facility likely uses either evaporative or air-cooled technology, with water consumption and energy efficiency being key operational considerations. As part of the broader cooling infrastructure sector, this facility contributes to the reliability of temperature control in industrial and commercial settings. Its location in Missouri places it within a region with varied climate conditions, influencing the design and operational efficiency of the cooling tower. The plant's role in manufacturing cooling equipment underscores its significance in supporting downstream HVAC systems and industrial cooling needs.

Cooling towers can have environmental impacts through water consumption and refrigerant use. Evaporative cooling towers consume significant water, while air-cooled systems use more energy. Refrigerants used in associated systems may have high global warming potential (GWP), and facilities must comply with the Kigali Amendment to phase down HFCs. Operational efficiency (COP) is a key metric for minimizing energy use and emissions.
