In the Chinese market, Fujitsu General can be regarded as a typical example of brands that do not match their popularity and technical strength. Fujitsu General began to produce and sell air conditioners in 1964, and has accumulated an excellent reputation in the field of air conditioning for more than half a century.
Most of the Japanese air conditioning brands have their own compressor technology, such as Mitsubishi Electric's "keel motor", Hitachi Panasonic's "scroll" compressor, and Daikin's "swing" compressor, all of which are well-known in the industry, but unfortunately, Fujitsu General still has a large gap with first-class competitors in compressor technology, and most of the current split air conditioners use Sanyo, Meizhi and Panasonic twin-rotor compressors to ensure product performance.
Full DC frequency conversion is popular
Although the compressor technology has yet to break through, but Fujitsu General's electronic control technology is perfect, its full range of products basically popularized the full DC frequency conversion technology, for the split air conditioner to bring a comfortable and natural temperature control experience, the main control chip imported from Japan, the operation response speed is extremely prominent, with PAM vector control technology, supplemented by high-precision electronic expansion valve, which can not only quickly cool and heat, but also maintain the indoor temperature in a low fluctuation range of ±0.5 °C, flagship products also focus on upgrading low-frequency performance, When the temperature reaches the target value, it can be automatically adjusted to 180W low power operation to further improve the energy saving effect.
The top-of-the-line flagship – the Nocria series
When it comes to Foxconn's flagship products, we have to introduce the "Nocria" AFK series, whose latest release Nocria X has refreshed consumers' perception of air conditioners with its subversive exterior styling and unique Dual Blaster dual airflow design. The Nocria X is equipped with independent rotating airflow fans on the left and right, which can automatically steer according to the airflow settings, and the central irrigation fan interweaves a gentle airflow to achieve a natural and comfortable temperature for both cooling and heating.
In addition to the compressor and inverter technology in place, Fujitsu has developed the "High Density Multipath" technology, focusing on improving the efficiency of the heat exchanger, Nocria X's 2 hp model has a maximum heat production of up to 8300W, and can still achieve 3300W heat output in a cold environment of -15°C. The annual energy efficiency ratio is close to 4.5, and the comprehensive performance is comparable to the top flagships of first-tier Japanese brands.
The Nocria series also introduces a number of user-friendly functions, such as the ECO smart eye function, which can monitor 19 sensing areas in the room in real time and intelligently switch operation modes; Practical drying dehumidification function, dehumidification capacity up to 1.5L/h, can be called for the rainy season; There are also intelligent preheating, automatic filter cleaning, etc., the Nocria series is priced between 11,000-14,000 yuan, which is suitable for consumers who pursue high-end.
A representative of the Japanese system in terms of cost performance
Although the price of the top flagship is high, in fact, the image of Fujitsu General's "high cost performance" is more prominent, such as LP, LM hang-up series, standard full DC inverter technology, energy efficiency levels are level 3 and level 2, the lowest price is only 2699 yuan, and other models are mostly in the 3000 yuan file, which is very suitable for consumers who favor Japanese high-end brands and have a limited budget; The LG and LF first-class energy efficiency series materials are thicker and perform quite well, with the number of horses ranging from 1-3 horses, and the price ranges from 5,000-8,000 yuan.
As for the cabinet market, Fujitsu General also continues the "flagship cost-effective" product line strategy, high-end LT series is the culmination of Fujitsu General's advanced technology, the performance of the whole machine is comparable to Daikin's "Patineng" series, providing 2 hp and 3 hp specifications to choose from, the price is between 13999-16999 yuan; Consumers with a tight budget can pay attention to the LL series, which is only 7999 yuan for the 3 hp model, mainly in the low-temperature heating and energy efficiency ratio, but the price is almost halved compared with the LT series, which is suitable for consumers who do not have much demand for low-temperature heating.
Offline installation services need to be improved
It should be reminded that due to the slow expansion progress of Fujitsu General in the Chinese market, its offline installation services are mainly outsourced, and the quality of the installation masters varies from place to place.
