Recently, Casa Di, an international high-end household appliance brand owned by Haier Group, a world-renowned manufacturer of large-scale home appliances, launched Tianmu air-conditioner using the latest 'partition air supply' technology. Its high-end customized version uses Covestro continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials ( (CFRTP) Manufacturing. Casa Di Tianyi Air Conditioning sets up two independent air supply systems. The entire machine panel is made of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials. The unique high-end texture of carbon fiber fully demonstrates the elegant elegance represented by the Casa di brand. The artistic appearance and the craft of excellence.
Casati is an award-winning high-end appliance brand owned by Haier Group. The high-quality design and materials are the core competitiveness of the Casa di brand leading the market. Therefore, innovative high-quality materials such as continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites naturally come naturally. It has become the ideal material for this high-grade air conditioner. 'Li Xiongwei, Director of Air Conditioning, Hais Group's Casa Di said.
The new air-conditioning shell from Casa Di, a Haier-owned home appliance brand, is made from Covestro Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite (CFRTP).
Plastic with metal effect
Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are made using ultra-thin carbon fiber unidirectional tapes. These unidirectional tapes can be laminated at specific angles to form a sheet and can therefore be tailored to specific performance criteria. Unidirectional tapes are oriented in their longitudinal direction Form a specific strength to form a light, thin, hard sheet with a look that resembles metal, with the flexibility of thermoplastics. Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites give air conditioners a high-grade metallic look with a smooth, sleek look that inherits the overall design The core values of Casa Imperial, highlighting the sense of design art.
'This not only marks a key step in continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites to the appliance industry, but also provides designers with a new high-end material and exciting design possibilities.' said David Hartmann, co-CEO of Covestro CFRTP.
New high-end design materials
Traditional composite materials are generally considered to be too expensive and difficult to process. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are disruptive, creating a new application and user experience as a modern, cost-effective and easily molded thermoplastic composite. .
For the Casa di design team, this means that they can use high-performance composite materials other than traditional metals for the first time in their premium air-conditioning series. 'Usually, our material selection usually depends on metals for performance and aesthetics. Requirement. "The CMF (color, materials, processing) designer Shao Qingyun of the Casa Di design team said.
High quality surface
In describing her depth and richness seen from the surface texture of Covestro continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, Shao Qing pointed out a very practical advantage of this material. 'For us, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites Material is a very attractive material, from the beginning, it can form a natural unidirectional texture, unlike the aluminum and other metals need to use a combination of sandblasting, drawing and anodizing surface treatment processes can be used for product manufacturing The surface of the continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites is naturally beautiful.
On the basis of thermoplastics, continuous thermo-compression of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites can be carried out using existing thermoforming equipment, resulting in high production efficiencies and short production cycles. They can be used in conjunction with various coatings and decorative processes. Unique surfaces, logos, and other iconic details. It's easy to create laser-etched patterns directly in the mold.' said Michael Schmidt, co-CEO of Covestro CFRTP.
Smart Air Conditioning System
Casa Di Tianyi air conditioning has a smart human body temperature sensing system that can intelligently detect human body surface heat dissipation, human head temperature, location distribution, distance and distance, ambient temperature and other parameters, to form infrared thermal images, so as to obtain indoor personnel's The cold and hot feelings, and the subjective comfort of the human body were calculated by big data, and they were divided into 'very cold, cold, comfortable, hot, hot' in 5 levels.
The air conditioner is equipped with two independent air supply systems. By means of the layout of two motors, two left and right fans, and four air deflectors, the air supply area is divided into left and right, five air supply areas at the top and bottom, and calculated with big data. 2048 kinds of air supply models, according to the individual needs of different human body in the room cold and heat, intelligent adjustment of air-conditioning wind speed, air flow, wind direction and temperature and other parameters, to accurately meet the same environment, everyone's comfort.
