PROTECH BUILDING SERVICES INC Cooling Tower - West Valley, Utah

PROTECH BUILDING SERVICES INC is an operational cooling tower facility located at 2850 S Redwood Rd, West Valley, Utah, United States. This facility provides cooling infrastructure services, likely supporting commercial or industrial HVAC systems in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. As a cooling tower operator in the United States, the facility falls under federal and state regulations including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's refrigerant management programs under the Clean Air Act. The facility's NAICS code 333415 indicates it may be involved in air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing, suggesting a role in both production and service of cooling systems. The environmental context for cooling towers in Utah involves water consumption for evaporative cooling, which is significant in the arid Western US. Operational efficiency (COP) and refrigerant choice (low-GWP alternatives) are key factors for minimizing environmental impact. The facility's location in West Valley contributes to the local cooling infrastructure grid, supporting building comfort and industrial processes.

Cooling towers in Utah face environmental considerations related to water use in an arid climate and refrigerant global-warming potential. Evaporative cooling systems consume significant water, while air-cooled alternatives reduce water use but may have lower efficiency. Regulatory frameworks like the Kigali Amendment and EPA phase-down of high-GWP refrigerants drive adoption of low-GWP options. Operational efficiency (COP) is critical for reducing energy demand and associated emissions.
