The report covers the cooling equipment market for commercial applications as characterized by a data base on shipments (with adjustment for U.S. exports and foreign imports), highlighting activities in the absorption chiller market, and predicting scenarios for future equipment shipments. An analysis of unitary air-conditioning equipment and commercial liquid chillers was performed to determine the population of domesticaly shipped equipment by type and capacity. A review of absorption liquid chiller marketing was performed to identify marketing techniques used to enhance absorption liquid chiller sales and to determine decision-making criteria used to evaluate replacement of existing equipment with absorption liquid chillers. Finally, cooling-market projections were made to forecast the future sales trends of commercial air-conditioning equipment.
