Welbilt Refrigeration Mfg Co Inc is a cooling tower facility located at 1217 Industrial St, Los Angeles, California, in the United States. The plant is operational and serves the industrial refrigeration manufacturing sector, classified under NAICS 333415. As a cooling tower, it provides essential heat rejection for manufacturing processes. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations, including the Clean Air Act and EPA's refrigerant management rules. Cooling towers in this region typically use water-based evaporative cooling, which requires significant water consumption. The plant's location in Los Angeles, a water-scarce area, may influence operational efficiency and environmental compliance. This cooling tower supports the production of commercial refrigeration equipment, contributing to the broader food service and cold chain industries. Its role in maintaining manufacturing operations underscores the importance of reliable cooling infrastructure in industrial settings. The facility's performance impacts both energy use and refrigerant management, key factors in the sector's environmental footprint.

Environmental context

Cooling towers in Southern California face water scarcity challenges, as evaporative cooling consumes large volumes of water. The facility's refrigerant use, if applicable, must comply with EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) and the Kigali Amendment's HFC phase-down. Energy efficiency, measured by coefficient of performance (COP), is critical for reducing grid demand in a region prone to heatwaves.
