Recently, the China Association for the Promotion of Science and Technology Industrialization announced the list of winners of the Science and Technology Award, and Midea Group won 5 Science and Technology Awards!
The joint project "Research and Application of Key Technologies for High Comfort Air Source Heat Pumps" between Midea Group Household Air Conditioning Division and Xi'an Jiaotong University won the first prize of scientific and technological innovation。 Starting from the pain points of insufficient and uncomfortable heating at low temperature of traditional air source heat pumps, the project has achieved a number of technological innovation breakthroughs, improved the heat pump system's low-temperature heating capacity (2°C) and energy efficiency by more than 5%, and increased the heating capacity at ultra-low temperature (-30°C) by 41.2%, improving the user's thermal comfort environment. Indoor noise is reduced by 7.7% and outdoor noise is reduced by 13.5%, which improves the comfort of users. The major breakthrough and innovation of the project in the field of heat pump has played a major role in promoting China's energy conservation and emission reduction.
The joint project "Research and Application of Key Technologies of Low-carbon and High-efficiency Heat Exchangers in Household Appliances" from Midea Group's Central Research Institute and Refrigerator Division won the second prize. The project has made a comprehensive innovation breakthrough from R&D and design methods to the inside and outside sides of the refrigerator heat exchanger tube, effectively reducing the amount of refrigerator evaporator materials by 20%, reducing the power consumption of the refrigerator during operation by more than 5%, and increasing the use volume ratio of the refrigerator by 1~3%. The products of the project have been industrialized and applied on multiple product platforms.
At the same time, Midea Group also won two standard innovation awards, namely the "Standard Innovation Organization Award" and the "Standard Innovation Individual Award" (Zhang Hao of Household Air Conditioner). Midea Group continues to promote the standardization strategy of "innovation patenting, patent standardization, standard internationalization, and Midea standards going global", and transforms innovation achievements and invention patents into advanced enterprise standards through the parallel dual-drive model of "standard innovation + product innovation", and promotes the upgrading to international standards, national industry standards and group standards, and fully implements the strategy of "leading science and technology". At present, Midea Group has participated in the formulation and revision of more than 1,300 external standards, including more than 40 international standards and more than 500 national standards, with a leading ratio of 36.7%.
Midea Group firmly adheres to the first strategy of "leading science and technology", promotes development with innovation, continuously improves the scientific and technological influence of the enterprise in the industry, and creates a business card of Midea technology.
The Science and Technology Award of the China Association for the Promotion of Science and Technology Industrialization is a social science and technology award approved by the State Science and Technology Award Office, which mainly rewards enterprises and technical workers who have made significant contributions to scientific and technological innovation, promoting the industrialization of science and technology, and promoting economic construction and social development.
