Gree "truth-free" air conditioning to mass production

Air conditioning manufacturers and foreign countries has always attracted the attention of the air conditioning refrigerant R290 natural environmental security, for the first time has been recognized by the international authority — September 29, Europe's most authoritative electrical inspection and certification bodies — Germany VED certification body President visited China's largest air-conditioning enterprise –, Zhuhai gree electric appliances, specially for the company "R290 refrigerant air conditioning" awarded Germany's national electrical safety certification mark VDE certificate.

This marks, gree electric appliances independent research and development of natural air conditioning refrigerant R290, Germany and even European markets permit, can the EU national mass market.

It is understood that this is VDE global authority first "R290 refrigerant air conditioning" VDE certification.

Gree electric appliances VP Huang Hui said: gree R290 refrigerant air conditioning access to the world's first VDE certification, this is a reliable quality of R290 air-conditioning, strengthened the gree R290 air-conditioning scale of confidence.

Gree will force push real "CFC" environmentally friendly air-conditioning, to protect the Earth to make a positive contribution to the environment.

VDE certification is the Germany national electrical safety standard, the most authoritative by European and EU authorized inspection certification bodies of the VDE certification authority.

VDE was founded in 1893, is a public, non-profit institutions, in the electrical industry has accumulated rich experience, is directly responsible for the Germany national standards (electronic and electrical connection), and editor of a number of IEC standards. In many countries, especially in Europe and the United States market, VDE certification marks even better than their national certification marks more authoritative, in consumers ' minds, it represents a "security, rest assured."

Currently, China and the world is eager for air-conditioning refrigerant alternatives for breakthrough.

R22 as has been widely used as a refrigerant for air conditioning business, not only to the ozone layer have strong destructive, and belong to greenhouse gases, human living environment has a very high the harmfulness of the Montreal Protocol agreed to phase out the refrigerant (developed countries by 2020, will be a total ban on the use of R22 refrigerant, developing countries will be held in 2030 the complete cessation of the use of R22 refrigerant).

And R410A refrigerant as the currently popular transitional alternative refrigerant, although will not damage the ozone layer, but it caused by the greenhouse gas effect and hydrogen CFC refrigerant counterparts, is still required emission reduction of greenhouse gases, will face the second elimination. The world urgently to find a more ideal, truly environmentally friendly refrigerant alternatives.

R290 refrigerant to "without prejudice to the ozone layer, global warming, completely environmentally friendly", etc., become the focus of air-conditioning refrigerant alternatives.

Gree electric appliances and many companies are committed to the air conditioning refrigerant R290 nature of research and development, and as a result of the natural refrigerant R290 flammable or explosive nature, become a horizontal stem r in R290 bottleneck on air conditioning. The industry looks forward to innovative technology to break through the bottleneck.

After several years of research, gree has solved R290 refrigerant in air-use of a series of challenges, not only prototype 3.4 above EER, well above the EU level of A class; and prevent refrigerant leakage, isolated from the ignition source and safety-oriented control logic, and other aspects of the innovation, successfully resolved the R290 air conditioning technical challenges of explosion-proof.

Safety and reliability over a long period of experimentation and stringent security review, gree R290 air-conditioning in 2009 by a group of national experts, acceptance and passed Germany VDE certification authority, product security fully comply with EU safety standards. At the same time, gree has completely mastered the production, storage, transportation, sale, special technological requirements, with mass production and sales ability.

September 29, the same day, in gree electric appliances of issuing ceremony held, VDE Global CEO Mr. Wilfried Jaeger cadaver global first R290 VDE certificate of air conditioning to gree electric appliances Huang Hui Vice President.

Mr. Wilfried Jaeger: R290 is the internationally recognized fully environment-friendly refrigerants, neither damage to the ozone layer, without affecting the climate. Gree R290 refrigerant air-conditioners and resolved the natural air conditioning application issues, in line with EU safety standards, its research and development and application of the protection of the ozone layer, the control has a great significance in greenhouse emissions.

As the world's largest air conditioning production enterprises in recent years, gree electric appliances with top research talent and nearly 300 international advanced level of the laboratory, the core technology in refrigeration and new refrigerant r, rich fruits, a series of core technology reached the international advanced level, filling the gaps in the industry.

In 2009, gree air borne by the State Ministry of Commerce "with natural refrigerants R290 (propane) research and development of high efficiency energy-saving air conditioner" project by the group for acceptance, reach the international advanced level. Experts believe that the successful development of air conditioner R290, not only make our refrigeration industry broke through the developed countries on a new generation of refrigerant technology monopoly, but also for global environmental refrigerant substitution opened a new road.

The air conditioning refrigerant R290, gree acquired Germany's national security certification VDE certificate, R290 air-conditioner production provides an export will become R290 refrigerant industry a good start, the healthy development of the refrigeration sector is of great significance.
