"Super Green Air Conditioner"
was born to return city a piece of a blue sky

( Abstract )

In 1994, a dozen of scientists published a series of papers, introducing a new technology of energy exchange through reverse of mechanics and electricity and the prospect of such technology. In 1993, the State Council approved the report of "organizing production of this technology in China..." submitted by the State Planning Commission and the State Science and Technology Commission. In the next 6 years of R & D and preparation that followed, the production based on this technology is ready, and a green enterprise is about to come into being in the area of Zhongguangcun in Beijing...

Beijing was hit by a successive days of high temperatures, reaching the historical records of the last 100 years. Demand for air conditioners drives up the electricity consumption. This is the only beginning. In the future, demand for air conditions will grow annually at 30%, and soon it will reach the level of the western developed countries...

The individual energy consumption now tends to increase. It is estimated that the electricity consumption in Beijing will total 13,000 MW by 2010, of which 6500 MW is used for air conditions in summer. The consumption of air conditions alone will generate 20,000 tons of GHG every day...
