HEEREN JAMES J AND ASSOCIATES Cooling Tower, Nashville, Tennessee

HEEREN JAMES J AND ASSOCIATES operates a cooling tower facility located at 2325 CRESTMOOR in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. This facility supports industrial processes for NAICS codes 332998 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing). As a cooling tower, it provides heat rejection for HVAC or industrial cooling needs. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including the Clean Air Act and EPA's refrigerant management rules under Section 608. Cooling towers in the United States typically use either evaporative or air-cooled technology, with evaporative systems being more common in the Southeast due to high cooling loads. Typical cooling towers in this region range from small packaged units to large field-erected towers. As part of Nashville's industrial infrastructure, this cooling tower contributes to the operational efficiency of local manufacturing. The facility's location in a temperate climate with hot summers means cooling demand is significant. Proper maintenance and water treatment are essential to prevent Legionella growth and ensure energy efficiency. The facility's role in supporting HVAC and metal fabrication industries underscores its importance to the regional economy.

Cooling towers in Tennessee operate in a humid subtropical climate, where evaporative cooling is efficient but consumes significant water. The facility's environmental impact depends on its water source, treatment chemicals, and refrigerant type if used in associated chillers. Evaporative towers can lose up to 1.8 gallons of water per ton-hour of cooling, and drift eliminators reduce water loss. If the tower uses a chiller with HFC refrigerants, it falls under EPA's phasedown under the AIM Act, aligning with the Kigali Amendment. Proper maintenance minimizes energy use and water waste.
