Refrigerant replacement period will focus on refrigerant safety

At present, China's inverter air conditioners, air conditioners exported to Europe and Australia have used refrigerant R410A to replace R22, and this part of the air conditioning output is about 30% of the total air-conditioning output of the country. The larger alternative market is in the country. At present, major air-conditioning companies in China have already fought on new refrigerants to advance the battle for new environmental refrigerants. It is reported that, due to the replacement of refrigerants, air conditioners may face problems such as replacing refrigeration systems and compressors, bringing about a series of cost and performance impacts. For each air-conditioning company, it is necessary to first complete air-conditioning products for new environmentally-friendly refrigerants. The application practice, advanced technology can only be applied to mature, stable, reliable products, in order to maximize the economic and social benefits.

Refrigerant replacement is not only simple for production R&D, but also involves the supply of upstream components such as compressors, product manufacturing equipment, manufacturing processes and quality control technologies, test and inspection technologies, national supervision, logistics and sales, service and maintenance. Such links involve hardware, software, personnel, etc. The problems involved are interlocking and require a lot of manpower and material resources to solve. The cycle is quite long. Since R290 is a flammable refrigerant, safety issues should not be underestimated when the R290 air conditioner is installed. How to ensure that new air conditioners are put into the market and that no safety accidents occur during installation are issues that air conditioner manufacturers must pay attention to.

The replacement of the maintenance industry in terms of capacity building lags behind the manufacturing industry, which will affect the progress and implementation of the replacement of the manufacturing industry, and lays down hidden dangers for future product installation and maintenance. Therefore, strengthening the construction of maintenance systems and improving the ability and level of maintenance companies and employees is the key to the replacement of new refrigerant air conditioners in the air-conditioning industry. According to report, domestic laws and regulations that allow the use of flammable refrigerants in household air conditioners are still being revised and have not been promulgated. Therefore, there are currently no manufacturers with related products on the market. There are no relevant laws and regulations on the side, the pace of refrigerant replacement. Replacement of refrigerants has caused changes in the air-conditioning industry. Only by taking the lead in layout and making sufficient technical reserves can we take the lead in replacing this refrigerant.
