This photo of the "cooling machine" the pipes leading off of the machine appear to be wrapped with a plaster coating...
I think you are going to find this is insulation, the last plant I looked at purchasing which had pipes with a coating which looked similar to what is pictured was asbestos, given the era of the building and the appearance of the machinery THAT should be checked before creating a health hazard of free asbestos dust released where you are going to be working.
