PACIFIC DUCT INC is a cooling tower facility located at 5499 BROOKS STREET in Montclair, California, within San Bernardino County. The facility is operational and serves the industrial sector, specifically supporting operations in sheet metal work, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and related activities as indicated by its NAICS codes. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes compliance with ASHRAE 15 refrigeration safety code and the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol for refrigerant management. Cooling towers in California are subject to state and local regulations regarding water efficiency and refrigerant use, aligning with broader environmental goals. As a cooling tower, the facility plays a role in maintaining thermal regulation for industrial processes. Its location in Southern California, a region with water scarcity concerns, highlights the importance of operational efficiency and water conservation measures typical for evaporative cooling systems in arid climates.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in Southern California operate in a water-sensitive region, making water consumption a key environmental factor. Evaporative cooling systems, common in industrial settings, can have significant water use, while air-cooled alternatives reduce water demand but may increase energy consumption. Refrigerant management is also critical, as leaks of high-GWP refrigerants can contribute to climate impacts. Compliance with the Kigali Amendment and state-level refrigerant regulations helps mitigate these risks.
Frequently asked questions
PACIFIC DUCT INC is located at 5499 BROOKS STREET in Montclair, California, within San Bernardino County, United States.
A cooling tower removes heat from industrial processes or HVAC systems by evaporating water, dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere, and maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
The facility is associated with NAICS codes 332322 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing), 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), 333414 (Heating Equipment Manufacturing), and 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing).
Cooling towers in the U.S. must comply with ASHRAE 15 for safety, the Kigali Amendment for phasing down high-GWP refrigerants, and EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act, including leak repair and recordkeeping requirements.
In California, water scarcity drives regulations on water use for cooling towers. Facilities may need to implement water efficiency measures, use recycled water, or consider air-cooled alternatives to reduce consumption and comply with state water conservation mandates.
