Shouting out the "master of core technology" Gree has almost become the strength of China's air conditioning brand in recent years, with excellent product quality and perfect offline service, firmly ranked first in the domestic and global household air conditioning market, with the gradual consolidation of the market position, Gree strives to build an independent research and development system, the number of patents authorized in 2017 alone is as high as more than 1,200 pieces, and continues to lead the domestic air conditioning industry.
Self-produced Lingda compressor
Gree has continuously strengthened and improved the construction of a closed-loop industrial chain in the industrial structure, the layout of the upstream industrial chain of air conditioning has been gradually improved, and the core components such as motors and compressors have formed a relatively large scale, and its Lingda compressor is a large-scale supplier with an annual production capacity of 40 million units. Lingda mainly produces rotary compressors, which have been recognized by the market for their reliability, and are almost standard in Gree's household air conditioning products.
However, in terms of high-end scroll compressors, Gree has not yet been able to produce, not because of Gree's lack of research and development skills, mainly because the scroll compressor has more arc surfaces and extremely high processing accuracy requirements, and China's industrial foundation is thin, especially in the field of high-end CNC machine tools, which is known as the "mother of industry".
Gree's "core"
Gree's annual cost of importing air conditioning inverter main control chips is as high as 4 billion yuan, and realizing chip autonomy is becoming a part of Gree's strategic layout. GREE'S INVERTER AIR CONDITIONER IS MAINLY DRIVEN BY DC INVERTER, AND DC INVERTER MEANS THAT ONLY THE COMPRESSOR ADOPTS DC INVERTER TECHNOLOGY, WITH AN ACCURACY OF 1HZ, WHICH IS STILL A BIG GAP COMPARED WITH THE HIGHEST ACCURACY OF 0.01HZ OF A FIRST-LINE JAPANESE BRAND, WHILE THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MOTORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH GREE'S KAIBANG AC MOTORS, AND THE ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE IS ALSO RETAINED.
Fine workmanship
For most consumers, the working stability of air conditioners may be more important, and they must not be "down" in key seasons such as summer, and a large part of Gree's reputation comes from its excellent quality.
In recent years, Gree has applied automated manufacturing equipment on a large scale, and improved the management of the production line, and the internal workmanship of the product can almost be on par with the industry benchmark Mitsubishi Electric, through the dismantling of the machine, it is found that even if it is a low-end fixed-frequency product, the copper tube welding inside the Gree machine is very uniform and meticulous, and there are few undesirable phenomena such as oxidation and blackening, which effectively reduces the risk of refrigerant leakage, and the copper tube is equipped with damping blocks, shock-absorbing cotton and other noise-reducing materials; The sheet metal parts of the shell are bent and strengthened to improve the overall strength.
The models are abundant and the level is clear
Gree's air conditioning product series is extremely rich, but most of them are "decent", and the differentiation between product lines is not obvious. Among them, the price of fixed-frequency products with three-level energy efficiency is the lowest, and the price is between 2500-3000 yuan, while the price of the same specification model of the first-level energy-efficient DC inverter series Jingzhi is about 500 yuan higher.
As for the three-level energy-efficient fixed-frequency cabinet machine, there are Yunku and other series to choose from, and the price of the 3 hp model is about 6600 yuan; The price of the 3 hp model of the first-class energy-efficient DC inverter series is 10,000 yuan, using a new appearance design, both materials and workmanship are the highest level of Gree, compared with other domestic brands, Gree has always disdained to win the "price war", good performance and quality is its core competitiveness.
Reliable installation service
At present, it is the only manufacturer in the market that is directly responsible for offline installation, which effectively guarantees the final performance of air conditioners, even if there are quality problems, offline maintenance follow-up is also in place in time, which is the overwhelming advantage of Gree as a local giant compared with first-line Japanese brands.
