Subcontributions

• What is important efficiency criteria – initial costs or operating costs
• What cooling configurations are deemed appropriate
• What level of controls needed – cost implications?
• What are stability requirements – which components need tight control?
• What are servicing requirements, capability available, how modular does system need to be?
