-Midea RAC leads the way in sustainable technology with new energy-efficient R290 products presented at MCE 2024
MILAN, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant step towards green comfort, Midea Residential Air Conditioning Division (Midea RAC) presented its latest energy-saving R290 products at the Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) 2024 in Milan. Midea RAC also co-hosted a fireside chat with leading global technology publication The Verge, inviting experts to share ideas on sustainable technology and heat pump adoption in Europe.
The solutions to climate change go beyond mere technological advances. A good example is Midea's leadership in leading the industry towards sustainability by adopting the use of R290, a natural and environmentally friendly refrigerant. For 15 years, Midea has invested heavily in R&D to develop more R290-compliant HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) products, thereby reducing environmental damage. 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 carbon dioxide absorbed annually 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 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 line featuring five different models of wall-mounted and floor-mounted units designed to provide maximum flexibility to suit various apartment types and installation sites.
This series stands out because it uses microchannel heat transfer technology, making it highly energy efficient and giving 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, ensuring durability and performance. Additionally, the use of thermally efficient grease improves its heat transfer.
In particular, the floor COMBO features a unique internal coil technology that can connect the solar collector and gas boiler as a powerful auxiliary heat source, effectively improving energy efficiency to achieve more energy saving and comfort.
In addition, the COMBO HPWH series is equipped with an impressed current anode for permanent maintenance-free operation, which ensures more reliable protection, without anode changes and reduces maintenance cost. The enamelled 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 MHELIOS all-in-one intelligent energy management system, further improving 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 in all aspects. Midea RAC is actively addressing the technical challenges of the single unit three R290 multisplit system and has achieved early success in the development of a refrigerant leak sensor. Committed to protecting the environment and ensuring user safety, Midea RAC is dedicated to improving safety standards through its advanced industry knowledge, with the goal of delivering a more reliable product experience.
