MITSUBISHI TURBOCHARGER-ENGINE AMERICA is a cooling tower facility located at 1200 North Mitsubishi Parkway in Franklin, Indiana, United States. It operates within the automotive parts manufacturing industry, as indicated by its NAICS codes 336310 and 336399. The facility is operational and plays a role in the cooling infrastructure of the region. The cooling tower at this facility is likely used for process cooling or HVAC purposes within the manufacturing plant. In the United States, cooling towers are regulated under ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and may be subject to local water discharge permits. The facility's scale is typical for an industrial manufacturing site, with cooling capacity tailored to the plant's production needs. Environmentally, cooling towers can have significant water consumption, especially if evaporative cooling is used. The facility's location in Indiana, with its temperate climate, may influence the efficiency and water usage of the cooling system. Proper maintenance and refrigerant management are important to minimize environmental impact and comply with regulations.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in industrial settings like this one can consume large volumes of water, particularly if they use evaporative cooling. The global warming potential of refrigerants used in associated chillers is a key environmental concern. In the United States, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol drives a phasedown of high-GWP refrigerants, encouraging the adoption of lower-impact alternatives.
