Overview
LYDALL INDUSTRIAL THERMAL SOLUTIONS INC operates a cooling tower in Ossipee, New Hampshire, United States. The facility supports industrial thermal solutions and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing.
LYDALL INDUSTRIAL THERMAL SOLUTIONS INC is an operational cooling tower facility located at 775 Route 16 in Ossipee, Carroll County, New Hampshire. The facility serves the industrial thermal solutions sector, with NAICS codes indicating involvement in air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing (333415) and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516). The facility operates under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, including the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program governing refrigerant use. As a cooling tower in New Hampshire's temperate climate, it likely uses evaporative cooling, which requires water management and treatment to prevent Legionella and scale buildup. The facility's capacity and specific refrigerant type are not disclosed in public records. Cooling towers in industrial settings play a critical role in process heat rejection. This facility's location in a rural area of New Hampshire suggests it may serve a specialized manufacturing operation. The site's proximity to the Ossipee River watershed underscores the importance of water conservation and discharge compliance under the Clean Water Act.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in New Hampshire operate under state and federal water quality regulations. Evaporative cooling systems consume significant water and may discharge blowdown containing treatment chemicals. Refrigerant management is governed by EPA SNAP rules, which phase down high-GWP refrigerants. The facility's location in a forested watershed requires careful management to protect aquatic ecosystems from thermal pollution and chemical runoff.
Frequently asked questions
