Chillers Industry Developments:

In February 2022, Fujinetsu, an air-conditioning designer, and Meiwa, a chiller manufacturer, showcased a new prototype of a propane (R290) chiller at the HVAC&R Japan 2022 trade exhibition. The prototype was specifically designed for air-conditioning applications. According to company representatives, the prototype underwent effective testing, proving its cooling capacity and suitability for use in air-conditioning systems.

Propane (R290) is a natural refrigerant that has gained popularity due to its low global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP). As environmental concerns drive the industry to seek more sustainable and eco-friendly refrigerants, the development of the propane chiller prototype represents a significant step in promoting greener cooling solutions for air-conditioning applications.

Moving to June 2021, Carrier Corporation, a leading HVAC and refrigeration solutions provider, acquired Guangdong Giwee Group (Giwee Group) and its subsidiaries, including Guangdong Chigo Heating & Ventilation Equipment Co., Ltd. The primary motivation behind this acquisition was to expand Carrier Corporation's presence in the rapidly growing variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and light commercial market.

The VRF technology offers energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions for buildings, making it increasingly popular in the commercial sector. With the acquisition of Giwee Group and its subsidiary, Carrier Corporation aimed to strengthen its position in the VRF market and tap into the substantial potential of the light commercial segment. The projected value of the VRF and light commercial market, estimated to reach approximately USD 20 billion by 2025, presents a significant growth opportunity for Carrier Corporation.
