| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions based on a number of factors including the current macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the impact of regional conflicts, including the conflict in Iran, as well as risks set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

| Recently Adopted Accounting Standards & Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted) | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”, which provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted): In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Accounting for Government Grants”, which adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied either by a modified prospective approach, modified retrospective approach, or a full retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”, which provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Additionally, the guidance specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our disclosures.
