Overview
Haakon Industries operates a cooling tower in Cheney, Washington, serving industrial heating and cooling equipment manufacturing. The facility supports local HVAC and refrigeration needs.
Haakon Industries operates a cooling tower at 1633 W 1st St in Cheney, Washington, within Spokane County. The facility is part of the industrial sector, supporting the manufacturing of heating and cooling equipment under NAICS codes 333414 and 333415. As a cooling tower, it provides essential heat rejection for industrial processes or HVAC systems. The facility operates under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, including the Clean Air Act's Section 608 for refrigerant management. Cooling towers in the United States typically use water as a cooling medium, with efficiency measured by the coefficient of performance (COP). Industrial cooling towers in this region often range from small to medium scale. Cooling towers play a critical role in maintaining operational efficiency for industrial facilities. Haakon Industries' tower contributes to the local economy in Cheney by supporting manufacturing operations. The facility's location in Washington state aligns with regional industrial activity, and its operation adheres to federal refrigerant phase-down schedules under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act.
Environmental context
Cooling towers can have environmental impacts related to water consumption and refrigerant use. Evaporative cooling towers consume significant water, while air-cooled systems reduce water use but may have lower efficiency. Refrigerants used in associated systems have varying global-warming potentials (GWPs), and U.S. regulations under the AIM Act mandate phasedown of high-GWP hydrofluorocarbons. The facility's location in Washington state, with its relatively mild climate, may influence cooling tower design and operational efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
Haakon Industries operates a cooling tower at 1633 W 1st St in Cheney, Washington, within Spokane County, United States.
The cooling tower provides heat rejection for industrial processes or HVAC systems, supporting the manufacturing of heating and cooling equipment under NAICS codes 333414 and 333415.
Cooling towers in the U.S. are regulated under the Clean Air Act Section 608 for refrigerant management and the AIM Act for phasedown of high-GWP refrigerants. State and local water use regulations may also apply.
Environmental concerns include water consumption (especially for evaporative towers), refrigerant global-warming potential, and energy efficiency measured by coefficient of performance (COP). Proper maintenance reduces risks of Legionella and chemical discharge.
