Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
INFORMATION ON REPORTABLE AND OTHER OPERATING SEGMENTS INFORMATION ON REPORTABLE AND OTHER OPERATING SEGMENTS
We are a global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions with operations in 17 countries and sales in over 100 countries around the world.
Our DB Thermal (“DBT”) and Heat Transfer operating segments are being reported in an “All Other” category for segment reporting purposes. We have aggregated our other operating segments into the following three reportable segments: HVAC, Detection and Measurement, and Engineered Solutions. The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. In determining our reportable segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the ASC. Operating income or loss for each of our operating segments is determined before considering impairment and special charges, long-term incentive compensation, certain other operating income/expenses, and other indirect corporate expenses. This is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment.
