MILAN, March 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant stride
towards eco-friendly comfort, Midea's Residential Air Conditioner
Division (Midea RAC) unveiled its latest energy-saving R290
products at the Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) 2024 in
Milan. Midea RAC also co-hosted a
Fireside Chat with the leading global technology publication The
Verge, inviting experts to share insights on sustainable
technology and the adoption of heat pumps in Europe.
Solutions to climate change go beyond mere technological
advancements. A prime example is Midea's leadership in steering the
industry towards sustainability by adopting the use of R290, a
natural and eco-friendly refrigerant. For 15 years, Midea has
invested heavily in R&D to develop more R290-compatible HVAC
(Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) products, thereby reducing
environmental harm. With 6.2 million units already sold*, Midea's
R290 products have reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 3.715
million tons so far. This is equivalent to the annual carbon
dioxide absorbed by 4.4 million hectares of the Amazon
rainforest.
In addition to green refrigerants, exploring the transition to
efficient and sustainable heat pumps has also been a hot topic as a
considerable part of the climate challenge is heating our homes. At
the MCE 2024, Midea RAC introduced the COMBO Heat Pump Water
Heater (HPWH) series, a new addition to the R290 product family,
and a testament to Midea's commitment to sustainability.
The COMBO HPWH series is a lineup featuring five different
models of wall-mounted and floor-standing units designed for
maximum flexibility to fit various apartment types and installation
sites.
This series stands out because it uses microchannel heat
transfer technology, making it highly energy-efficient and earning
it an A+ rating. The heat transfer process has been improved by
introducing technologies such as microchannel heat transfer and
multi-loop flat tubes. This series is thoroughly tested to
withstand high pressures, guaranteeing its durability and
performance. Additionally, the use of efficient thermal grease
enhances its heat transfer.
Notably, the floor-standing COMBO features unique inner coil
technology that can connect the solar collector and gas boiler as a
powerful auxiliary heat source, effectively improving energy
efficiency for more energy savings and comfort.
Moreover, the COMBO HPWH series is equipped with an impressed
current anode for a permanent maintenance-free operation,
guaranteeing more reliable protection that is free of anode
changing and reduces maintenance cost. The enamel water tank and
45mm thick insulation make the COMBO even more energy-saving,
reliable, and durable.
It is worth mentioning that the COMBO HPWH series is also
compatible with Midea's solar-powered All-In-One Smart Energy
Management System MHELIOS, further enhancing its energy efficiency
and environmental friendliness.
From its extensive range of existing R290 products to the newly
introduced COMBO HPWH series, Midea is dedicated to pioneering
sustainable solutions within the HVAC sector. Through continuous
R&D efforts, Midea aims to offer distinct R290 product lines
tailored to evolving standards and consumer demands and promote
environmental sustainability across all aspects. Midea RAC is
actively addressing the technical challenges of the R290 one drive
three multi-split system and has achieved early success in
developing a refrigerant leakage sensor. Committed to protecting
the environment and ensuring user safety, Midea RAC is dedicated to
improving safety standards through its advanced industry knowledge,
aiming to deliver a more dependable product experience.
