Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

In this study, we have conducted an analysis of the global supply chain for compressors used in residential air conditioning systems. We collected a range of market data on compressor specifications and trading patterns in order to map out the roles of key countries and companies in this sector and to identify future trends for this rapidly growing and changing market. We also discussed the challenges of manufacturing more efficient compressors utilizing low-global warming potential, next-generation refrigerants with contacts both in industry as well as international organizations working in this area. challenges of manufacturing more efficient compressors utilizing low-global warming potential, next-generation refrigerants with contacts both in industry as well as international organizations working in this area.
