Overview
TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY, TUPELO DIVISION operates a cooling tower in Verona, Mississippi, supporting air-conditioning and refrigeration manufacturing under NAICS 333415.
TECUMSEH PRODUCTS COMPANY, TUPELO DIVISION is a cooling tower facility located at 5424 HWY 145 in Verona, Mississippi, United States. The facility is operational and serves the air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment manufacturing sector (NAICS 333415). As a cooling tower, it provides heat rejection for industrial processes or HVAC systems, typical for manufacturing plants in the region. The facility operates under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, including the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program governing refrigerant use. Cooling towers in the U.S. must comply with ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems. Cooling towers in industrial manufacturing often range from small (under 500 tons) to large (over 2,000 tons) depending on production scale. The environmental significance of this cooling tower lies in its water consumption and potential for energy efficiency. Evaporative cooling towers use water for heat rejection, which can be significant in Mississippi's humid subtropical climate. Proper maintenance and water treatment are critical to minimize water waste and prevent Legionella growth. The facility's role in supporting compressor and condenser manufacturing contributes to the broader cooling infrastructure supply chain.
Environmental context
Cooling towers in Mississippi's humid climate face challenges in water conservation and energy efficiency. Evaporative cooling systems consume substantial water, requiring careful management to reduce environmental impact. Refrigerant leaks from associated equipment can contribute to global warming, making compliance with EPA SNAP and ASHRAE 15 crucial for minimizing ecological footprint.
