Breaking through the "Dual Carbon": Green Transformation Practice of China's Refrigeration Unit Industry

Driven by the "dual carbon" goal, China's refrigeration unit industry is undergoing a transformation centered on technological iteration and model innovation. As an important source of building energy consumption and carbon emissions, the technological upgrading and energy efficiency optimization of refrigeration units have become a key link in achieving green and low-carbon goals.

The transformation of refrigeration units first focuses on refrigerant substitution. Traditional high GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants are gradually being phased out of the market, replaced by low GWP synthetic refrigerants such as R32 and R1234ze, as well as natural refrigerants such as carbon dioxide and ammonia. For example, the carbon dioxide transcritical refrigeration technology developed by a certain enterprise has reduced the GWP value of refrigeration units by 98% compared to traditional equipment, providing an environmentally friendly solution for fields such as cold chain logistics and commercial refrigeration.

The application of intelligent and digital technology has further improved the operational efficiency of refrigeration units. Through IoT sensors and AI algorithms, enterprises can monitor equipment status in real-time, dynamically adjust refrigerant flow and compressor power, and achieve precise control of energy consumption.

From hardware suppliers to energy service integrators, Chinese refrigeration unit companies are reshaping industry value through technological innovation, injecting strong momentum into the achievement of the "dual carbon" goal.
