With the global emphasis on low-carbon economy and the continuous promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction work, maglev central air conditioning is gradually becoming a star product in the HVAC industry due to its efficient, energy-saving, stable and reliable technological advantages. Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" target, the Chinese maglev central air conditioning market is showing a counter trend upward trend in 2024. According to industry statistics, although the growth rate of the traditional central air conditioning market has slowed down, the shipment volume of maglev products has achieved double-digit growth year-on-year, and the market share continues to expand, becoming one of the fastest-growing sub categories in the central air conditioning field. This growth trend is mainly due to the continuous breakthroughs in maglev technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios. Intelligent and remote monitoring functions are gradually being developed, and the application fields have also expanded from traditional commercial buildings, public institutions, and other fields to industrial production, petroleum, chemical, coal and other industrial projects. Whether it is the backbone of domestic brands such as Gree, Midea, Haier, or foreign brands such as Johnson Controls York, Carrier, and McQuay, they have been deeply involved in maglev technology for many years. Since 2010, Gree has embarked on the path of magnetic levitation technology research. In 2014, "Magnetic levitation variable frequency centrifugal refrigeration compressor and its chiller unit" was identified as "internationally leading"; The world's first and largest 1300RT maglev centrifugal unit was launched in 2019.
Haier's magnetic levitation central air conditioning has been ranked first in the global market for six consecutive years, achieving a "dual leadership" in technology and market share. As early as 2006, Haier Smart Building was the first to launch China's first maglev unit, breaking the monopoly of foreign brands in this field and laying a solid foundation for the development of maglev technology in China. At present, Haier air suspension central air conditioning has achieved a maximum capacity of 600RT per unit, covering a wider range of buildings. Not only that, the pioneering static pressure air suspension central air conditioning system also achieves zero friction operation throughout the entire process, and can also achieve high efficiency and energy saving under high load operating conditions. Industry experts have analyzed that with the continuous strengthening of national energy conservation and emission reduction policies and the continuous improvement of green building standards, it is expected that the Chinese maglev central air conditioning market will maintain an average annual compound growth rate of over 15% in the next five years. Central air conditioning companies can continue to deepen their technological innovation and explore more application scenarios.
