 1/Defined as factory selected combinations of heating and cooling components or assemblies intended to serve an individual

room and comprising: (1) heating assembly available with element for use with hot water, steam, and electricity; means for forced

heated air circulation and distribution; integral or remote temperature controls; (2) slide-in cooling section with complete refrigerant

cycle; (3) room cabinet; (4) provision for outdoor air intake and discharge and accessories as required for mounting in a building

wall; (5) provisions for air filtration and ventilation; (6) permanent individual branch circuit wiring with a suitable line cord or terminating

at a junction box within the room cabinet; and (7) provision for free conditioned air distribution, or when forced circulation is employed

for minimal duct work having a total external static resistance not exceeding 1/10 inch of water.

 2/Data exclude systems assembled from purchased components and installed at passenger automobile assemby lines. The

values are understated for some systems because of the exclusion of compressors.

of export goods. Current adjustment factors are based on data for 1996 which are published (in Exports from Manufacturing 

Establishments), AR89-1, appendix b. The adjustment factor for this report is 0.7502.
