Risk: Low Cooling Tower Operational

GK Enterprise Truck Body Builder Cooling Tower | Ontario, California Industrial Infrastructure

ONTARIO, California, United States

Overview

GK Enterprise Truck Body Builder operates a cooling tower in Ontario, California. The facility supports industrial manufacturing activities in San Bernardino County.

GK Enterprise Truck Body Builder is a cooling tower facility located at 1341 Brooks Street in Ontario, California, within San Bernardino County. The facility is operational and serves the industrial sector, supporting truck body building and related manufacturing processes. As a cooling tower, it provides essential heat rejection for industrial operations, contributing to the local manufacturing infrastructure in Southern California. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including compliance with ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program governing refrigerant use. The United States is a signatory to the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which mandates phasedown of high-global-warming-potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Cooling towers in this region typically use water as a heat transfer medium, with efficiency measured by coefficient of performance (COP) and water consumption considerations. As part of the industrial cooling infrastructure in Ontario, this facility supports local manufacturing jobs and economic activity. Its location in San Bernardino County places it within a major logistics and industrial hub in Southern California. The cooling tower's role in maintaining operational temperatures is critical for the productivity and safety of the truck body building operations it serves.

Environmental context

Cooling towers in industrial settings like this one typically use evaporative cooling, which consumes water and can lead to drift losses. Water usage and discharge are regulated under the Clean Water Act. Refrigerant use in associated equipment must comply with EPA SNAP rules and the Kigali Amendment's HFC phasedown. Operational efficiency (COP) and water conservation measures are key environmental considerations for such facilities.

Frequently asked questions

GK Enterprise Truck Body Builder is located at 1341 Brooks Street in Ontario, California, United States, within San Bernardino County.

GK Enterprise Truck Body Builder operates a cooling tower, which is a heat rejection device used to remove waste heat from industrial processes.

The cooling tower at GK Enterprise Truck Body Builder is operational, supporting the facility's manufacturing activities.

Cooling towers in the United States must comply with ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety, EPA SNAP rules for refrigerant management, and the Clean Water Act for water discharge. The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol also governs HFC phasedown.

Cooling towers consume water for evaporative cooling and may release drift. They also use refrigerants that can have high global warming potential if not properly managed. Efficiency improvements and water conservation are key to reducing environmental impact.
