TOP.1

DAIKIN DAIKIN Japan

Founded in 1924, Daikin is the only manufacturer in the world that integrates compressors, refrigerants, inverter modules and other upstream industrial technologies of air conditioners, and its product performance and quality have been tested by the market for a long time. In 1973, Daikin first developed a multi-connection model with an outdoor unit linked to multiple internal units, and then developed a VRV system, ending the history of central air conditioning as a full turn on and off. The main feature of central air conditioning is that an outdoor unit can be linked to a number of indoor units, as for how to control the refrigeration capacity of different internal units, which requires the cooperation of VRV system, the hardware basis of VRV system is the refrigerant divergent device, including divergent tube and divergent box, which is better or worse by the industry. The divergent tube has low space requirements and good concealment, but it is difficult to weld. The divergent box will occupy a certain layer height, but there is no need for welding.

Mitsubishi Electric Japan

Founded in 1921, Mitsubishi Electric is a well-known old scholar in the air conditioning industry, with deep attainments in high-tech fields such as compressors, automation, frequency conversion control, and power equipment, and even Japan's HTV spacecraft and Shinkansen are favored by Mitsubishi Electric's technology, Mitsubishi Electric also actively integrates advanced technology into air conditioning products, even in the fiercely competitive Japanese market, the market share has remained the top three for many years. The main reason why Mitsubishi Electric is inferior to Daikin in the Chinese market is not that its product technology or quality is not up to par, but because its market response is too slow, and it is nearly 10 years later than Daikin to start laying out the Chinese household central air conditioning market, and the market experience is naturally not as good as that of Daikin, which is deeply rooted. In addition, Mitsubishi Electric's product line is not much, and the series launched are all steady and steady, which is very disadvantageous at the moment when the demand for individualization is increasing, but from a technical point of view, Mitsubishi Electric is even higher than Daikin. Low-pressure cavity scroll technology The compressor is the power source of the air-conditioning refrigerant circulation system, known as the heart of the air-conditioner, which largely determines the performance of the air-conditioning system and the performance of the air-conditioning system.

HITACHI Japan

Hitachi, one of the world's top 500 companies, has strong scientific research strength in many fields such as machinery manufacturing and electronic circuits, and these fields are also the core technology sources of air conditioning products, so it is logical that Hitachi can produce air conditioning equipment with top performance and reliable quality. In recent years, Hitachi has actively integrated into the huge Chinese market and set up a number of production bases in China, while household central air conditioning equipment is mainly produced in Hisense-Hitachi joint venture factory, with a clear division of labor between the two joint venture parties, Hisense is responsible for management and sales, and Hitachi controls production equipment, technology and quality control. In 1983, Hitachi succeeded in producing the world's first scroll air-conditioning compressor, single-handedly pushing the technology of air-conditioning compressor to the next generation. The central air conditioner has a large number of horses, and the refrigeration load is often much higher than that of the split air conditioner, and the scroll compressor can achieve stable and large displacement compression of the refrigerant because of its unique dynamic and static vortex plate occlusion structure, so the scroll compressor has now become the standard configuration of the central air conditioner above 6P. After a 20-year patent period, Hitachi's scroll compressor has...

Toshiba Japan

With the strong performance of high-end household central air conditioning, Toshiba in China's air conditioning market has been dark for a long time and has finally returned to the eyes of consumers, Toshiba has withdrawn from the split air conditioning market in China for nearly 10 years, and the white electricity business has also been acquired by the United States, but it is still actively participating in the competition of the central air conditioning market, in recent years, it has mainly sought to break through in the high-end household central air conditioning market, and has now ranked among the top three Japanese brands. Due to the rise of local brands, it is quite common for Japanese brands to make poor progress in the Chinese market strategy in recent years, but Toshiba is not idle in terms of technical reserves and product quality of household central air conditioners. As a pioneer in the era of inverter, Toshiba's household central air conditioner has given full play to its technical advantages in the field of frequency conversion, relying on 0.1HZ ultra-high precision stepless frequency conversion vector control technology, and then with an electronic expansion valve with an opening of up to 1000 pulses, to achieve a fine temperature adjustment effect of 0.5 °C, and the frequency conversion configuration of indoor and outdoor fans is not absent.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Japan

Regarding Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the first thing consumers need to be clear about is that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric are two independent companies. Mitsubishi Group was the first to engage in shipbuilding and ocean trade, so it attached great importance to the stability of marine motor systems, and the core motor department later developed independently into Mitsubishi Electric, focusing on the research and development of motor and automation technology; Other divisions, such as ship structure manufacturing, became Mitsubishi Heavy Industries today. In recent years, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has actively deployed in household central air conditioning, and established a joint venture with Haier Group, and its products have basically completed the localization and overall performance is stable. Reliable and durable compressors Compared with Mitsubishi Electric's deep attainments in the field of compressors, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is slightly bland, but it still has mastered the core technology of twin-rotor and scroll compressors, of which twin-rotor compressors are generally used in small and medium-sized hosts, such as SCM series, KXZ mini series 6P and below models, with decent performance and energy efficiency, but excellent performance in terms of durability. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries...

FUJITSU GENERAL 富士通将军 Japan

Fujitsu General is a brand under the Fujitsu Group of Japan that specializes in the development and production of home appliances, electronic components and communication products. Since 1960, the development of air conditioning business, in addition to the leading sales in Japan, currently has a high market share in Europe, the Middle East and Oceania, etc., and the reason for the low popularity of Fujitsu General brand in China is mainly due to Fujitsu General's market strategy in China is relatively conservative, and the main radiation range of channels is concentrated in East China, where the production is located. Although the channel ability is weak, relying on strong electronic control technology and honest materials, the overall performance of Fujitsu General's household central air conditioning is comparable to that of first-line Japanese brands, and the product performance and quality have won an excellent market reputation.

GREE GREE Guangdong

In 2014, Gree took the lead in putting forward the commitment of 6-year warranty for household central air-conditioning products, which triggered other domestic manufacturers to follow suit, and improved the service standards of the industry as a whole. Although great progress has been made in recent years, frankly speaking, there is still a big gap between Gree, which started late, and first-line Japanese brands, which is not only reflected in the research and development of core high-end parts and electronic control technology, but also in the integration ability between parts. At present, Gree's household central air conditioner is mainly equipped with the self-developed Lingda dual-rotor compressor, and the overall performance of the product is stable, but the large-capacity models above 10P still rely on imported scroll compressors, and the high-end field still needs to be broken through. In addition, Gree also needs to improve in terms of electronic control technology, and it is still unable to popularize full DC frequency conversion technology in its household central air conditioner.

Midea is beautiful Guangdong

In 1999, China's household central air conditioning market is basically still dominated by Daikin, with a keen sense of market smell, Midea actively cooperates with Toshiba in technology, and introduces Toshiba's ultimate inverter technology into its own central air conditioning products, and today, Midea has completed the acquisition of Toshiba's white electricity business, sharing more than 4,000 patents of Toshiba in the field of air conditioning, and the technical strength and brand reputation are both harvesting, and the limelight is unparalleled for a while. With Toshiba's technical support, Midea now has mastered two key cores in the field of air conditioning, namely compressors and high-precision full DC inverter technology. Midea cooperated with Toshiba to establish the Meizhi brand compressor, and its excellent performance even allowed it to be sold back to the Japanese market, and is now the standard configuration of Midea's household central air conditioners, such as the star product TR series. As a pioneer in the era of inverter air conditioning, Toshiba's high-precision full DC inverter technology is also second to none in the industry, especially in terms of low-frequency performance, after Midea absorbs Toshiba's inverter technology, its TR series operates in low-frequency areas with a noise of only 22 decibels,...

Panasonic Japan

In the eyes of many Chinese consumers, Panasonic often means excellent performance and reliable quality, and has also accumulated a lot of core technologies in the field of central air conditioning. It is a pity that Panasonic has not moved forward side by side with the rapid development of China's central air conditioning in recent years, and many high-energy-consuming air duct machines are still on sale, and the product line is updated too slowly, and the current market share in China is far less than that of the first-line Japanese and domestic leading brands, ranking about the fourth echelon. AFTER MISSING OUT ON THE BEST OF DEVELOPMENT, PANASONIC HAS RELEASED ITS FLAGSHIP MASTER III. SERIES IN RECENT YEARS, HOPING TO REGAIN ITS ORIGINAL GLORY. The MASTER III. series focuses on central air conditioning central air purification, and its Nanoe nano water ion function claims to be effective in dealing with air pollution problems such as formaldehyde, PM2.5, and even bacteria, but the practicability of this technology is not yet clear, even in Japan, it has been questioned by many medical institutions such as the Japanese Society of Environmental Infections, and it is recommended that consumers do not need to blindly follow additional functions such as negative ions and water ions. Returning to the evaluation dimension of household central air conditioning, the comprehensive performance parameters of Panasonic MASTER III. series are still in the first-class...

Haier Shandong

In recent years, Haier has actively carried out technical exchanges with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and established a joint venture company to shorten the gap with Gree, Midea and other first-line local brands, but in the current situation, Haier still has a large space to catch up in terms of technology and market performance. Whether it is a Japanese or Chinese brand, mastering its own compressor technology is almost the standard configuration of first-class manufacturers, but unfortunately, Haier still has not developed its own compressor technology, and its household central air conditioning products are mainly purchased from Mitsubishi Electric production of twin-rotor compressors, which has become a bright spot for consumers. In terms of product series, Haier has laid out three series of Zhizun, Zhiyue and MXS in the home central air conditioning market, of which the Zhiyue series focuses on high-end, using full DC inverter technology, as well as humanized freezing self-cleaning function, 7 horsepower one to six models is only 42000 yuan, and consumers who are on a tight budget and want to use the cutting-edge technology in the field of air conditioning can pay attention.
