On March 8th, the 2018 China Home Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As one of the world's major home appliances and consumer electronics shows, AWE has attracted more than 800 well-known home and abroad home appliances, consumer electronics and industrial chains. Downstream, cross-industry exhibitors, including a number of air-conditioning compressor manufacturing companies.
Energy-efficient, low-carbon and environmentally-friendly, it has always been the trend of development of home appliances, and it is also one of the important points of view for each AWE. This year AWE, GMCC, Lingda, and Highly-owned three of China's largest air-conditioning compressor manufacturers exhibited collectively. Ozone-friendly and low-carbon environment-friendly natural refrigerant HC-290 as a refrigerant compressor.
At the AWE Appleland Awards Ceremony held on March 10th, GMCC's R290 green environmental-friendly constant-speed compressor won the “Epland Environmental Protection Award” as the industry's prestigious award. Yu Lifeng, deputy director of the Environmental Protection External Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Chinese household appliances Wang Lei, deputy director of the association, jointly awarded the award to the GMCC.
At present, the global air-conditioning industry is accelerating the phase-out of refrigerant R22, which is destructive to the ozone layer, under the framework of the Montreal Protocol. Hydrogen fluoride refrigerants such as R410A and R32 that are selected by some companies as R22 replacement technologies have a potent greenhouse effect. The Kigali amendment, which was also reached by the parties to the Montreal Protocol in October 2016, was included in the control list.
As the world’s largest air-conditioning manufacturing base and consumer market, China’s air-conditioning industry’s technical route selection for refrigerant substitution has received great attention from the international community. After a large number of technical demonstrations and prudent choices, China’s air-conditioning industry has decided to use R290 as an alternative route.
Compared with R22, R410A, R32, R290 has unparalleled advantages in ozone friendly and low carbon environmental protection. Its ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0, and the greenhouse effect potential (GWP) also approaches 0. In this way, the R290 has superior refrigeration performance, especially in high temperature conditions, and has a good cooling performance. The R290 charge is also significantly lower than traditional refrigerants, and it is more energy efficient.
Under the joint efforts of the Chinese government, industry associations and industry, China’s air-conditioning industry has achieved globally remarkable results in R290 refrigerant application research and R290 air-conditioning commercialization, and China’s technology route claims have also been obtained by international agencies and other countries. Identification and support. China's air-conditioning industry has achieved brilliant results in the R290 refrigerant application field. Compressor companies have also made a lot of work.
GMCC is the largest manufacturer of air-conditioning compressors in China. As early as 2008, it began R290 compressor R&D. In 2011, it began to reform the first R290 compressor demonstration line in China. GMCC's R290 compressors have been mass-produced since 2013. Shipment, currently its R290 compressor has been applied in many fields including split air conditioners, mobile air conditioners and heat pump water heaters.
In 2013, Haili launched the first R290 compressor production line transformation, and completed the transformation in the following year and passed the acceptance by the expert group organized by the Environmental Protection External Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Up to now, the shipments of Highly-assembled R290 compressors have reached tens of thousands. station.
While developing the R290 air-conditioning compressor, Highly has continued to expand the R290 to other applications. By 2017, R290 compressors for heat pump water heaters and R290 compressors for dehumidifiers have been introduced, making R290 a low-carbon environment The refrigerant is used more widely.
Lingda is also one of China's earlier compressor manufacturers that developed R290 compressors. At present, Lingda's R290 compressors have been applied in many fields such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pump water heaters, and low temperature refrigerators. Has formed a series of.
During the current AWE, the three giants of home air conditioning compressors GMCC, Lingda, and Highly Group displayed their respective R290 compressors, making the entire AWE 'green'. With the second stage of the HCFC phase-out management plan for the air-conditioning industry in China last year Launched in March, the pace of adoption of the R290 in the industry will accelerate. Whether it is the R290 compressor or the R290 air conditioner, the future will be debuted on AWE with a larger lineup.
