New demand for air conditioning products in European markets

When the domestic air-conditioning market is still cold water for the price war and true and false frequency conversion, the European market has incorporated new energy into the production design of refrigeration equipment. The application of solar energy and air energy has been gradually recognized, and the production and design of products have also focused on The combination of architecture.

High energy efficiency and energy saving are the direction of development

The European market has always put forward high demands on the energy efficiency of home appliances. The products not only meet the requirements of power consumption during operation, but also have strict regulations for the power consumption of products such as air conditioners and refrigerators that are turned off but are on standby. Therefore, China was once Exporting companies have used their products to reach the A+++ level of European refrigerator energy efficiency as a publicity point for their product quality and performance.

It is precisely because of the harsh requirements of the European market for energy efficiency that more companies are looking for new energy sources to replace the use of electricity in home appliances. Solar energy and air energy have become mainstream alternatives.

At the International Refrigeration Fair in Milan, which just ended in March of this year, the director of the show, Pirney? Machim told the China National Grid reporter that high energy efficiency and energy conservation will undoubtedly become an important driving force for future market development.

When introducing the characteristics of the European refrigeration market, Gree Liu, a commercial air-conditioning system engineer from Gree Electric Appliances, emphasized that the air-conditioning products in the European market have a very high level of energy efficiency. Enterprises also pay special attention to the application of new energy sources in product development. The most common one is air energy. Solar energy replaces traditional electricity and gas. Liu Ye introduced that Gree's products launched in the European market this year also pay more attention to this point, can achieve the use of solar energy docking.

Focus on cooling and heating solutions

The use of televisions has shifted from "seeing" to "playing" and "using." Refrigerators have also evolved from storing food to managing food. The progress of washing machines from providing a single laundry function to providing a complete laundry solution is confirming that home appliances Product innovation and market demand evolution. In the same way, air-conditioning products still have more room for improvement, from the simple pure refrigeration to the dual functions of cooling and heating.

Due to the influence of climate and living habits, the product demand characteristics of the European market are very different from those of the domestic market. The summer in Europe will not be very hot, especially the weather in the northern and southern regions where the temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius is only maintained for more than a week, so domestic home air conditioners commonly used in China are not commonly used in Europe. However, due to the low winter temperatures and the separate living habits that make it impossible for Europe to centralize heating as it does in the country, heating products are more marketable, and wall-hung boilers and gas stoves are widely used.

For the above reasons, cooling and heating equipment are required in Europe not only to cool down the function of winter insulation in summer, but also to be adapted to the housing structure to provide consumers with a complete set of cooling and heating solutions.

Gree electrical commercial air conditioning technology system engineer Liu Yan introduced this year, Gree air-conditioning for the European market will be the main introduction of multi-heat pump water heaters and multi-function water heaters. In the summer, multiple connections can be cooled through indoor multi-connected machines, and the heat generated during air conditioning and cooling will be used to heat water through heat exchangers to maximize the use of energy. In winter, multiple connections can also be used to achieve heating. At the same time provide hot water and floor heating required for daily life.

At the Milan International Refrigeration Exhibition held some time ago, the exhibition director Pirni. Mr. Maxim said that “the relationship between home appliances and building facilities planning has become increasingly close in sustainable development. In 2010, MCE will promote the application of these innovations and reflect new design standards.”

According to industry analysts, the rise of multiple online connections will blur the boundaries between domestic and commercial use. Domestic hot water supply, cooling, and heating will be integrated into one system. The combination with buildings will be closer, and the market share of split-type air conditioners will gradually decline.

According to report, in China, Daikin, Panasonic and other companies have begun to develop and sell such multi-functional multi-connections, but they only stay in the use of villas and small buildings.
