Gas cooling: a worldwide overview.

Author(s) : CHAPMAN J. F., WELSBY P., WHITMAN D. J.

Summary

Gas has only a small proportion of the air conditioning market worldwide. Cooling equipment is usually electrically powered, although environmentally superior gas alternatives are commercially available or under development. Economic factors in Japan have given gas over 25% of the air conditioning load. In Europe and the USA the market share is considerably lower, although the growth of demand for air conditioning and environmental pressures present market opportunities for gas. The paper reviews the world air conditioning market, current technologies, the environmental advantages of gas cooling, and the gas developments and research progress.
