About refrigerating and freezing equipment and heat pumps, except household type equipment

cpc code 43913 covers the manufacturing of refrigerating and freezing equipment, as well as heat pumps, excluding household-type equipment. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications, by providing the necessary temperature-controlled environments for storage, transportation, and production. Its significance extends across the broader economy, supporting the efficient functioning of supply chains and enabling the preservation of perishable goods.

Production process

The production of refrigerating and freezing equipment involves a range of specialized techniques. Key steps include the fabrication of the equipment's structural components, the installation of compressors, condensers, and evaporators, and the integration of control systems and insulation materials. Manufacturers often utilize advanced manufacturing processes, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, to ensure precision and efficiency in the production of these specialized units.

Production inputs

The manufacturing of refrigerating and freezing equipment and heat pumps requires a variety of inputs, including metals (such as steel, aluminum, and copper) for the construction of the equipment's frame and components, as well as specialized refrigerants and lubricants. Additionally, the industry relies on electrical and electronic components, such as motors, control systems, and sensors, to enable the precise regulation of temperature and humidity. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 43913 are refrigerating and freezing equipment, as well as heat pumps, designed for commercial, industrial, and institutional applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 43912 Food processing and preserving machinery, 43914 Machinery for mining, quarrying and construction, and 43915 Machinery for food, beverage and tobacco processing, which require temperature-controlled environments for their operations. The industry's outputs also support the 43911 Machinery for the production and use of mechanical power, as heat pumps are a key component in energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.
