Exploring Industry Trends and Reflecting
Industry Pain Points
With an increasing urgency to reduce
global CO 2
emission and reach carbon
neutrality, intelligent and low-carbon
buildings are now an inevitable trend
in the industry. Gene Sun, GM of Midea
KONG Intelligent Building Ltd, introduced
the concept of iBuilding low-carbon
solutions at the event, and recounted
successful cases such as the application
in Shanghai Innovation Center and Heyou
Hospital. Through big data, IoT, 5G and
other technologies, iBuilding solutions
can realize the interoperability of human,
equipment and space throughout its life
cycle.
Industry consultants spelled out
the pain points of the building and VRF
industry. The ventilation holes in the
electric control box of traditional VRFs
lead to internal device damage from
environmental factors such as sand, dust,
snow, and insects, which is a notable issue
for customers in Middle East and Africa.
Traditional VRF installation also increases
the difficulty of construction with only
hand-in-hand connection between
internal units available. When a failure is
encountered, the process of repair is both
time-consuming and costly.
A Mission of Breakthrough for Midea V8
Series VRF
The trend of low-carbon intelligent
solutions and the shackle of the pain
points of the traditional VRF industry are
forcing upon a change in the industry.
Robin Luo, GM of Midea DX Product
Company, explained how Midea continues
to dedicate their efforts in product
iteration to provide the best possible
solutions with the Midea’s well-developed
production line and competitive
manufacturing quality.
Peter Wu, Chief R&D Engineer of
Midea DX Product Company, detailed
the breakthrough explorations of Midea
V8 Series VRF from a quality, design, and
low-carbon standpoint. In terms of quality,
Midea launched the industry’s first fully
enclosed electric control box (ShieldBox)
to avoid damage to internal components
caused by harsh environments. From an
installation standpoint, Midea’s selfdesigned
communication chip (HyperLink)
realizes an arbitrary topology in addition
to the traditional communication
connection method, reducing installation
cost and improving installation efficiency.
When it comes to operation, V8 Series VRF
is equipped with 19 sensors (SuperSense),
the most complete range in the industry,
allowing for an instant diagnosis of the
system’s current refrigerant volume.
On the design front, Midea V8 Series
VRF introduces a side discharged series
in its outdoor unit, which reduces its
occupied spaces and makes it easier
