PEN MANUFACTURING Cooling Tower, Anaheim, California | Industrial HVAC Facility

PEN MANUFACTURING is a cooling tower facility located at 1808 N American St, Anaheim, California, in Orange County. The facility is operational and serves the manufacturing sector, specifically 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 industrial processes or building HVAC systems. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of ASHRAE 15, which governs refrigeration system safety, and California's stringent refrigerant management regulations, including the California Air Resources Board (CARB) rules for high-GWP refrigerants. Cooling towers in this region typically use water as the cooling medium, with efficiency measured by the coefficient of performance (COP). Manufacturing plants in this sector often have medium to large cooling loads. Cooling towers play a critical role in maintaining operational temperatures for manufacturing processes, ensuring equipment reliability and energy efficiency. In Anaheim's industrial context, this facility contributes to the local economy by supporting manufacturing operations. Environmental considerations include water consumption and potential refrigerant leaks, which are regulated under state and federal programs.

Cooling towers use water evaporation to reject heat, which can lead to significant water consumption. In California, water scarcity is a key concern, and facilities may be subject to water use efficiency requirements. Additionally, refrigerants used in associated chillers have varying global-warming potentials (GWP), and regulations like the Kigali Amendment and CARB rules aim to phase down high-GWP refrigerants. Operational efficiency (COP) is important for reducing energy use and associated emissions.
