Trends and Perspectives in HVAC & R Technology in China

The development of HVAC & R industries and market in China is described. The current trends in HVAC & R products mainly focuses on energy saving, environmental protection and comfortable healthy products. The manufacturers in China produce mainly split room air conditioners, refrigerators, VRF multi evaporator systems for commercial and residential users, air-source heat pump type water chiller, screw chillers, centrifugal chillers and absorption chillers. The energy labeling system for HVAC & R has contributed to increased energy savings in China. The national standards and certification systems have given impetus to the HVAC & R market sustained growth. With the increased awareness of the importance of R&D, the Chinese industry, the organizations and universities have promoted the development and even pushed the R & D of HVAC & R products. This is slowly changing the perspective in the HVAC&R domain from “made in China ” to “developed or innovated in China”. Various new research works are highlighted in this paper
