Korea’s HVACR SMEs to Make Their Massive Appearance in Various Market-leading Technologies at AHR Expo 2014

ahr
As of 2012, Korea’s HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) industry has performed 9 trillion won in production and $5.4 billion in exports respectively, enabling the nation to rank the world’s No. 4 in the industry.

Enjoying such ever-striking performance, Korea’s HVACR industry circle set a further aggressive aim of capturing newly emerging competitive markets including Southeast Asia through securing of high-efficiency and eco-friendly technologies. Korea’s HVACR industry circle at an early stage grasped the potential importance of the HVACR industry as one of the indispensable industries in improving both the living environment and industry production process in a global range. Korea has early designated the industry as one of the major growth engines leading the national economy in the global markets while encouraging the companies associated to massively invest in this industry and thus to beef up the presence of those companies in an increasingly competitive global market.

At the HVACR exhibitions held in Korea in 2013, many of the newer, highly competitive items and technologies reflecting the latest trends of the HVACR industry both at home and abroad markets were displayed capturing keen attention, especially from potential buyers. Several models of heater pumps were highly eye-catching items creating a lively atmosphere at the held exhibitions.

Two conglomerates, both pillars of the nation’s system airconditioning industry, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics took a leading role in unveiling market-creating and market-leading product models as they did before. They signaled that they had started increasing their share of the global market along with ever-increased technological leadership.

In the case of HARFKO 2013, more than 180 companies from 24 nations displayed nearly 400 HVACR items helping the exhibition to increase ever-higher recognition in the global market in terms of newer market-leading technologies, scale of booths, and number of visitors. Samsung and LG have competed with each other for the crown of the No. 1 maker in the nation which has excellence in energy consumption efficiency (COP), a standard of performance of system airconditioners.

The big spectaculars led by two companies include numbers of buyer consulting, visitors’ numbers, number of one-site contracts, etc. For the upcoming AHR Expo 2014 be held from January 21 to 23, Korea’s small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) including 15 companies supported by the KRAIA (Korea Refrigeration Air-Conditioning & Fluid Machinery Products) are especially targeting the U.S market and its neighboring regions of markets with an aim to reconfirm the competitiveness of their technology.

Korean companies’ timely advance into promising markets is expected to spread technological recognition in the nation into the global market, thus contributing to the increase of their awareness in global markets.

Eutectic Cold Top

truc
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry[INQ. NO. 1401M16] Launched in 1991, Jinsung Refrigerator has since then been professionally engaged in manufacturing refrigeration equipment and eutectic cold tops.

The company’s eutectic cold top is suitable for use in hot climates, where eutectic cold top vehicles for freezing storage can reduce fuel costs, environmental pollution and operational noise. With it, users do not need to operate a refrigerator attached to the car engine. When operating the refrigerator with AC power (220- 380V), the PCM (Phase Change Material) plate inside the cold top is slowly cooled down by -37°C, thus being charged with chill. While the vehicle is running, the stored chill is slowly emitted, thus stably keeping the interior temperature at an average -30~-20°C.

It is strongly recommendable for users wishing to transport frozen food, ice cream, seafood, etc. in hot climates. Thus, the refrigerator is operated regardless of the car engine’s operation. Given that high oil prices are increasingly becoming a major obstacle to normally operating businesses, the product is gaining a very good reputation among these industries.

The company is further seeking to broaden the existing giant global markets especially in the Americas and Europe.

Remote Condensers

Condensers
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry[INQ. NO. 1401M15] A condenser unit used in central air conditioning systems typically has a heat exchanger section to cool down and condense incoming refrigerant vapor into liquid, a compressor to raise the pressure of the refrigerant and move it along, and a fan for blowing outside air through the heat exchanger section to cool the refrigerant inside.

A typical configuration of such a condenser unit is as follows: The heat exchanger section wraps around the sides of the unit with the compressor inside. In this heat exchanger section, the refrigerant goes through multiple tube passes, which are surrounded by heat transfer fins through which cooling air can move from outside to inside the unit. There is a motorized fan inside the condenser unit near the top, which is covered by some grating to keep any objects from accidentally falling inside on the fan.

The fan is used to blow the outside cooling air in through the heat exchange section at the sides and out the top through the grating.

Joongwon Refrigeration & Heating-manufactured these condenser units are located on the outside of the building they are trying to cool, with tubing between the unit and building, one for vapor refrigerant entering and another for liquid refrigerant leaving the unit. Of course, an electric power supply is needed for the compressor and fan inside the unit.

Joongwon Refrigeration & Heating has been a manufacturer of industrial refrigerators, freezers, heaters and other heat exchangers since 1993 in Korea. The maker’s major products include unit coolers, condensing units, evaporators, air coolers, condensers, condensing units, heat pumps, dry coolers and coils for cold rooms, cold storage and air-conditioning for buildings in the industrial field.
