On May 12th and 13th, under the guidance of the Environmental Protection Foreign Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the China Association of Household Electrical Appliances, the two R290 small classroom science propaganda public welfare activities undertaken by the State Grid of China were respectively in the Suning Tesco Beijing Ciyunsi Store and Lishui Bridge. The shop was held for this year's Mother's Day staged a different kind of wonderful.

After entering the summer, the heat is getting higher and more and more people are starting to press the start button on the air conditioner's remote control to get a cool, but people may not realize that this is a cool and pleasant home environment for people in the hot summer days. Machines are intensifying global warming and destroying the earth's ecological environment.
This is not alarmist. In fact, behind an air conditioner, there is an enormous number of eye-catching environmental bills.
The previously used HCFC-based refrigerant R22, which was previously commonly used in household air conditioners, not only has a great destructive effect on the ozone layer, but also is a potent greenhouse gas and has been listed on the elimination list by the Montreal Protocol. The phase-out schedule of the Protocol will totally eliminate R22 by 2030.
Hydrogen fluoride (HFCs) refrigerants R410A and R32 that emerged as alternatives to R22, although not destructive to the ozone layer, have a greenhouse gas potential (GWP) that is as high as hundreds of times that of carbon dioxide. Such 'super greenhouse gases' The destructive effect on the earth’s ecology is becoming more and more obvious. The management and control of HFCs has become a global voice. In October 2016, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol reached by the international community formally included HFCs in the cut list. This international convention has In November 2017, it reached its entry into force and will take effect on January 1, 2019. R410A and R32 are about to usher in the fate of gradual reduction in the world, and are not destined to be the ultimate choice for refrigerant technology in the air-conditioning industry.
After a large number of technical feasibility studies and prudent choices, China’s air-conditioning industry has clearly identified ozone-friendly and low-carbon environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant R290 as the next-generation refrigerant. R290 does not damage the ozone layer, and its greenhouse effect potential is close to zero. Compared to R22, using R290 refrigerant can reduce an air conditioner's direct greenhouse gas emissions by 99.9%, while the energy efficiency boosted by R290 can enable air conditioners to achieve an additional 9% of indirect greenhouse gas emission reductions.
According to industry estimates, the efficiency of a greenhouse gas emission reduction brought by a 1.5HP R290 air conditioner is equivalent to a 1.4L displacement, and a 100-kilometre fuel-efficient 10L sedan has less than 6,000 kilometers of greenhouse gas emission reduction effect. In the 2017 cold year (August 2016 - July 2017), the sales of home air conditioners in China's domestic market is close to 90 million units (including retail market and engineering market). If all R290 refrigerants are used, only 90 million air conditioners will be created. The benefits of greenhouse gas emission reduction will be a set of astronomical numbers.
R290 technology has not only been recognized and supported by China's government departments, industry associations, and air-conditioning manufacturing companies, but has also received great attention and strong support from the international community. As of now, China has already achieved the conditions for marketization of R290 air conditioners, and the products are in the engineering market. Positive progress has been made and the retail market is gaining momentum. The responsible person of the domestic mainstream air-conditioning companies has made it clear that they will promote the R290 air-conditioning sales process in the retail market.
As one of the largest household electrical appliance retail channels in China, Suning's E-Shop provided strong support for this R290 mini-class science popularization campaign. The relevant person in charge of Suning's e-commerce said that Suning Tesco has been advocating green low-carbon consumption concepts and lifestyles. Actively promote the popularization of energy-saving air conditioners and healthy air conditioners. Relevant data show that since the launch of the net lung project in February this year, Suning’s sales of health air conditioners continued to rise, and the year-on-year increase during the period of 418 was as high as 280%.
Recently, Suning Tesco has launched air-conditioning promotion campaigns throughout the country. It is planned to build 518 air-conditioning to become the largest and largest event in the first half of the year. Beijing Suning Tesco Hao Jia said in an interview that the future Beijing Suning will Health, energy-saving air-conditioning as the first push, to strengthen cooperation with major manufacturers, increase the health of air-conditioning, including the dual control of temperature and humidity, in addition to formaldehyde, clean dust, self-cleaning and other functions of air-conditioning products, air purification, new wind and other product development Promotion, brings the healthiest air conditioners for consumers, satisfies consumers' needs for a better life.
The two popular science activities under the R290 small classroom line received positive feedback and favorable comments among the general public. At the event, both the coveted teenagers and the elder ones who listened to the lectures were explained, but more were still the young people who are the current spending power. Middle-aged. Through the easy-to-understand explanation by the staff, people have more understanding of air-conditioning refrigerants and R290 air conditioners. Some citizens have made it clear that the future replacement of air conditioners in homes will give priority to the purchase of R290 air conditioners.
Lv Shenghua national grid editor said that the choice of these two R290 hold small classroom science publicity activities during the Mother's Day, is filial want people to action Thanksgiving, caring mother at the same time, can improve environmental protection through the activities of consumption concept , care and protection of mankind 'mother' - Earth.
Lv Shenghua further stated that, next, the R290 class will also enter universities in Beijing, aiming at promoting the knowledge of R290 air-conditioning and the promotion of low-carbon and environmentally friendly consumption concepts for college students.
