Need a list of the top 100 makes and models (10 ton to 1000 ton) of
industrial air conditioning units, the type of lubricant they require
and the fill capacity of each unit

This info should be readily available to anyone who knows how to find
operations manuals on line. I'm curious why the last 3 questions
posted by me have had 0 response perhaps someone could clarify what I
need to do to get a response.

albertr-ga,

While I'm not familiar with all your questions, I can certainly
comment on this current one.

It is unlikely you will receive an answer to this because:

--a researcher would first have to find (or create) a list of the top 100 units

--find a manual for each and every unit

--read through 100 manuals to extract the information you need

--organize all the information into a presentable format



This is not only a huge undertaking, but it seems quite unlikely that
all the information would be readily available.  Your offering price
of less than a dollar per model for this task is unrealistic.

Suggestion:  post a reasonably-priced question asking a researcher
simply to find a list of the top units (there may not be a list of the
top 100, so be flexible, here).

If such a list is found, then post a follow-up question asking for
additional info for each unit.

Good luck,

pafalafa-ga

Thank you, I was beginning to wonder. How about this? What are the top
industrial a/c units that comprise, say, 80% of the market and
a general rule of thumb for calculating the volume of lubricant the
compressor would require per ton of a/c capacity.
My reason for wanting this info is that I market a mineral oil based
additive that has been proven to reduce the energy to run any a/c,
refrigeration and chiller unit from between 12 and 20% if the additive
is installed at approximately 15% by volume.
I hope this helps.
