Survey and Analysis of Air Conditioner Manufacturing Firms and Products

摘要

This report documents an effort to collect data and create an automated database of air conditioner products and manufacturing firms. The survey encompassed approximately 1,300 US and free-world firms. The product database consists of information on air conditioners and related environmental control units of 6,000 to 60,000 BTU/hour (BTUH) cooling capacity. It includes US military standard and commercial off-the-shelf products. In addition to products, the database provides information on firms that provide support to air conditioning and related equipment, or that manufacture specialized or customized related products. The purpose of the database is to help in selecting commercial products for potential military applications, using the non-developmental item (NDI) approach to development and procurement.
