KIKER SHEET METAL INC. Cooling Tower | Pleasantville, New Jersey

KIKER SHEET METAL INC. is a cooling tower facility located at 6 S. New Road in Pleasantville, New Jersey, United States. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS code 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 processes, typical for manufacturing facilities in the region. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which governs refrigerant use. Cooling towers in this sector often use water as the heat transfer medium, with efficiency measured by the coefficient of performance (COP). Sheet metal fabrication facilities typically require moderate cooling loads. Environmental considerations for cooling towers include water consumption and potential for legionella growth. The facility's location in Pleasantville, near the Atlantic coast, may influence water availability and discharge regulations. As part of the U.S. industrial base, this plant contributes to local manufacturing while adhering to federal and state environmental standards.

Cooling towers like this one use evaporative cooling, which consumes water and can lead to drift losses. The global warming potential of refrigerants used in associated systems is a key environmental factor, regulated under the EPA's SNAP program. Water treatment and blowdown management are critical to minimize environmental impact and comply with Clean Water Act requirements.
