New Energy Air-conditioner Welcomes Development Opportunity

Since September 2013, the State Council issued the “Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution”, and the country is focusing on mega-cities and regions where smog is frequent and taking the management of PM2.5 and PM10 as breakthroughs to seize the energy structure and tail gas emissions. The key link is to strive for improvement in air quality in key areas. In 2014, the country will continue to accelerate the adjustment of its energy structure, and use the incentives and orientations of prices, taxes, and subsidies as important measures to prevent and control atmospheric pollution. In this regard, the industry experts interpreted: The national macro-policy measures once again emphasized that the orientation of policy support is new energy, and new energy will be tilted and supported by policies from the perspective of comprehensive pricing, taxation, and subsidies. There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented positive news for new energy air conditioners with a relatively slow pace of market development.

As we all know, the air-conditioning energy consumption occupies a very high proportion in the energy consumption of large-scale public buildings. When the air-conditioning cooling demand reaches a peak in summer, many places in China need to limit industrial electricity to ensure the demand for civilian electricity. In addition, thermal power generation is still the main source of China's power resources. The air pollution and carbon emissions caused by thermal power generation are the main content of the state's work on air pollution control. This creates contradictions. On the other hand, the centralized heating in winter in northern cities of our country mainly depends on coal-fired boilers, and the air pollution and carbon emissions caused by coal-fired boilers are also the focus of air pollution control work. One side of the treatment is pollution, this approach can only be a temporary solution can not cure the problem, only the full use of new energy sources to meet the cooling and heating needs is the real realization of the country's proposed transfer mode and adjust the structure of air pollution control work requirements.

It is understood that domestic leading air conditioner enterprises Gree has already launched a large-scale new energy central air conditioning unit to the market through independent research and development and technological innovation, and has achieved successful application in the project. The Gree centrifugal heat pump central air conditioning unit used in Lijingwan District of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, uses heat pump technology to apply the industrial waste heat from Shijiazhuang Circulation Chemical Industry Base to the winter heating of Lijingwan Community. This method not only realizes the change of industrial waste heat and waste heat. Waste is treasure, which avoids the air pollution caused by heating coal-fired boilers. At present, the successful project application experience of Lijing Bay Community in Shijiazhuang is being promoted and copied into other projects.

In addition to the use of heat pump technology to replace centralized heating of coal-fired boilers, Gree Electric successfully combined solar energy technology with large-scale central air-conditioning units and developed photovoltaic direct-drive frequency conversion centrifugal units. Photovoltaic direct-drive DC inverter centrifugal units can use the power generated by solar photovoltaic panels to directly drive the operation of the inverter, and can incorporate the excess electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels into the grid. Photovoltaic direct-drive frequency conversion centrifugal units can not only meet the needs of the power resources running by the units, but also relieve the pressure of the power grid when the power is surplus. At the same time, the generation of all power resources does not pollute the environment. It is a real new energy air conditioner.

Experts in the industry analyzed this: In the long run, the treatment of air pollution must find a way to cure the problem, while pollution is one of the methods used in the transitional period. Making full use of new energy sources and eliminating pollution at the source is the real solution. Gree combines heat pump technology and solar energy technology with the air-conditioning system. It is from the perspective of a permanent cure to solve the problem of environmental pollution from the source. As the country gradually introduces relevant specific preferential policies and supporting policies, new energy air conditioners will usher in unprecedented opportunities for development.
