HEAT CONTROLLER INC Cooling Tower | Jackson, Michigan Industrial Facility

HEAT CONTROLLER INC is a cooling tower facility located at 1900 WELLWORTH in Jackson, Michigan, United States. The plant is operational and serves the industrial sector, specifically supporting the manufacturing of air conditioning, refrigeration, and forced air heating equipment (NAICS 333415). As a cooling tower, it provides essential heat rejection for industrial processes or building systems. 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 offers high efficiency but requires significant water consumption. Industrial cooling towers in the United States often range from small (under 500 tons) to large (over 10,000 tons) depending on the application. Environmental considerations for cooling towers include water usage and potential for legionella growth. The facility's location in Jackson, Michigan, places it in a temperate climate with seasonal variations, influencing operational efficiency. As part of the U.S. industrial base, this plant contributes to local manufacturing and employment while adhering to federal and state environmental regulations.

Cooling towers like this one use evaporative cooling, which is energy-efficient but consumes significant water. The facility's refrigerant use, if any, would be subject to EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act and the Kigali Amendment to phase down high-GWP refrigerants. Water discharge must comply with the Clean Water Act, and local water availability in Michigan's Great Lakes region is generally abundant, reducing water stress.
