ADVERTISEMENT Broad specializes in the design and manufacture of absorption chillers powered by clean and recyclable energies. Broad is headquartered in Beijing, China, with its U.S. headquarters located in Hackensack, N.J. Their products are sold in over 30 countries, hold a greater than 50% market share in China and are market leaders in absorption chilling in the United States and Europe. "We are very pleased to announce this important business development with a company the caliber and reputation of Broad," said Capstone CEO John R. Tucker. "As one of the market leaders in absorption chillers, Broad's continuing commitment to develop quality cutting edge technology makes them the ideal partner for Capstone. Together, we will offer an advanced combined product that will meet the growing market demand for packaged cogeneration systems." The basis of the agreement will synchronize the two companies to follow Capstone's "cookie-cutter" concept for market standardization of on-site power and CHP solutions. The companies will utilize Broad's 20, 40 and 60 ton chillers, integrated with Capstone's microturbines to create a seamless solution to maximize the chiller heat recovery efficiency from the microturbine's waste heat. This significant initiative reflects a new level of industry cooperation in the sale and servicing of these combined turbine/chiller system solutions.
