According to Frost & Sullivan, a consulting
firm, the global market for shell and tube exchangers market, constituting
the dominant product segment in the overall heat exchangers market,
was estimated at US$ 926.9 billion
in 2003. (www.engineeringtalk.com)
Sales of energy-efficiency products will grow at an average annual
rate of 8.2% during
2000-2005. (Source: The Energy Conservation Industry Review, a US-based
