A new report from
Transparency Market Research, titled ‘Offshore
Air Handling Units - Global Industry Analysis, Market size,
Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020,’ states that the
global offshore air handling units market is expected to progress at
a rapid pace due to the widespread adoption of various air handling
units.
Air handler or air
handling units are devices utilized to circulate and regulate air as
a part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system (HVAC).
Air handler units are large metal box containers enclosing heating
and cooling elements, a blower, filter racks or chambers, dampers,
and sound attenuators. Primarily, air handlers connect to the
ductwork or ventilation system to effectively distribute the
conditioned air via the offshore unit. At times, AHUs discharge and
return air directly to and from the served space without ductwork.
For local use, small air handlers such as terminal units, an air
filter, blower, and coil are used. Large air handlers, known as
makeup air units (MAU), condition 100% air drawn from outside. Air
handlers are specifically made for outside use, especially on roofs,
and are known as rooftop unit (RTU) or packaged unit (PU).
The availability of
many offshore air handling units and the introduction of new ones are
predicted to propel the global market for offshore air handling units
until 2020. Waste-heat-powered air handling units are growing in
importance across the globe due to the rising focus on solar power as
an effective renewable energy source. Some of the noticeable factors
expected to propel the global offshore air handling units market are
the growing interest to conserve energy and the rising demand for air
handling units from developing nations. The implementation of the
Kyoto Protocol to tackle climate changes is also predicted to benefit
the global offshore air handling units market in the years to come.

As compared to
electric chillers, air handling units require larger cooling tower
capacity and greater pump energy. The high cost of offshore air
handling units is the major factor expected to restrict the growth of
the global offshore air handling units market in the next few years.
However, leading players in the global offshore air handling units
market are focused on introducing low-cost air handling units.
The global offshore
air handling units market is segmented on the basis of energy supply,
region, and effect. By effect, the global offshore air handling units
market is classified into single effect, double effect, and triple
effect. In single effect air handling units, the transfer of fluids
takes place through components such as the evaporator, generator,
absorber, and condenser. Based on energy supply, the global offshore
air handling units market is classified into indirect-fired and
direct-fired units.
By region, the
global offshore air handling units market is divided into Asia
Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World. At present,
the global offshore air handling units market is dominated by Asia
Pacific owing to the rising demand for air handling units from
countries such as India and China. Leading players such as Broad Air
Conditioning Co., Ltd., Century Corporation, Hitachi Appliances Inc.,
Carrier Corporation, and Thermax Inc. are expected to introduce
advanced air handling units in the global market.
