EQUIPMENT DESIGN DBA WHERRY CORP Cooling Tower in Pomona, California

EQUIPMENT DESIGN DBA WHERRY CORP is a cooling tower facility located at 119 Explorer St, Pomona, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility is operational and supports industrial processes related to heating and cooling equipment manufacturing, as indicated by its NAICS codes 333414 and 333415. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks, including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) for refrigerant management. Cooling towers in this region typically use evaporative cooling, which requires significant water consumption, and may utilize refrigerants with varying global-warming potential. As part of the industrial infrastructure in Southern California, this cooling tower contributes to the local manufacturing sector. Its operational efficiency and environmental impact depend on factors such as water usage and refrigerant management, which are subject to state and federal regulations.

Cooling towers in Southern California operate in a semi-arid climate, making water consumption a key environmental concern. Evaporative cooling systems can consume large volumes of water, while air-cooled alternatives reduce water use but may increase energy consumption. Refrigerant choice also affects global-warming potential, with regulations phasing down high-GWP refrigerants under the Kigali Amendment and EPA SNAP rules.
