EUROVENT IT cooling


The market for IT cooling was up to 29,300 units sold within the European Union in 2016, of which 65% were CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioners), 18% row and rack coolers, 16% TLC mobiles and 1% air handling units. Italy leads the way with 5,300 units sold, followed by Germany at 4,630 units and then France and the UK at roughly 3,800 units each. As for Computer Room Air Conditioners, there was a fall of -10% in comparison to the previous year in the European Union. In the EMEA zone, two-thirds of the units


sold are direct expansion while the others are chillers. This proportion is the same for numerous countries in the area except France and Germany, where more chillers are sold, accounting for just over 50% of sales. As regards power, 50% of the chillers sold are


over 60kW while 60% of the direct expansion units are under 30kW. Furthermore, we can see an upward trend in


CRAC units with a modulating compressor (14% of units sold) and the free-cooling option (4%). In the TLC market, free-cooling already accounts for half of the units sold.

Ro Heat exchangers


After a slight fall in 2015, the heat exchanger market stabilized in 2016 with a total of 990 million Euros in the EMEA zone. This stability is due to France and Spain, while the market in Italy and Germany fell by -6%.


Contrary to previous years, air-cooled exchangers gained market share and in 2016 accounted for 25% of the market. The rest of the market consists of evaporators (45%), condensers (22%) and CO2


and air exchangers (8%). As for application, the market is still dominated


by commercial (29%) and industrial (19%) refrigeration, with just 17% used for comfort (central heating, air conditioning, etc). Machine renewal accounts for 66% of the market in the EMEA zone, compared to 34% for new build projects.


Cooling towers The cooling tower market shrank by c. -5% this year in the EMEA zone. If we take a closer look at the reasons for this trend, we see that the evolution is somewhat mitigated. France, Germany and Spain fell by up to -20% while the situation improved in other countries, such as the UK and Turkey, with growth rates of c. +12%.

Chilled beams The chilled beam market was up to 65 million Euros in Europe in 2016, 28 million of which were in Northern Europe (the largest market), around 6 million in France, 3.2 million in Italy and 2.8 million in Germany. The European market grew by c. +10% as a


whole. This was mainly due to impressive growth - over +20% - in Sweden, Italy, the UK and Ireland.


As for the types of chilled beams, active units accounted for over 90% of the market. Among these, 73% were integrated and 27% exposed. This market is essentially based on new build, as renewal accounted for only a quarter of the units sold.

al The market leader in Europe is Germany at


11%, followed by Italy (9%) and close behind, Turkey (8%). Outside Europe, the Middle East has a market share of 12%.


The technology of cooling towers remained unchanged in Europe – open towers still account for almost two-thirds of the market in comparison to closed towers. As for the power installed, most installations (60%) are under 10 cells, while only 2% are over 50 cells.
