About The Entry

The front cover's unique design is inspired by Richard Serra's 'Tilted Arc,' blending industrial aesthetics with art. Functionally, it employs EVI (Enhanced Vapor Injection) technology with frequency conversion and dual-stage compression. This setup, including extra suction ports and a flash tank for gas-liquid separation, boosts performance and ensures stability in temperatures from -35°C to 48°C. Equipped with proprietary features like an internally ribbed evaporator and a balanced flow distributor, these innovations boost heating and cooling efficiency for reliable, high-performance use.

The product strikes a balance between aesthetics and functionality, while its innovative thermal interaction platform—comprising an internally ribbed evaporator and a balanced-flow distributor with one inlet and nine outlets—further enhances heat exchange efficiency.

Internally Ribbed Evaporator: Reduces heating dwell time, strengthens evaporation, increases the heat transfer coefficient, and expands the heat exchange area by 8%, leading to a 3% improvement in energy efficiency.

Balanced-Flow Distributor: Ensures uniform flow distribution, optimizing overall heat exchange efficiency. It performs exceptionally well in addressing frosting issues during winter.

This design not only aligns with the global trend of cultural integration but also showcases the product’s technological advantages in environmental protection and sustainability.

EVI Frequency Conversion Dual-Stage Enhanced Compression Technology: It ensures stable heating performance in low-temperature environments without efficiency degradation, thanks to the injection of vapor for enhanced performance.

High Efficiency IPLV: The product exceeds national Grade 1 energy efficiency standards for both heating (IPLV up to 3.53) and cooling (IPLV up to 3.9). For a 110 sqm area heated 8 hours daily over 4 months, it saves about 1045 yuan per day compared to traditional devices, with cost recovery within four years.

Eco-Friendly Refrigerant R32: R32 refrigerant has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), high chemical stability, and higher efficiency with less required charge, thereby minimizing environmental impact.

Remote Intelligent Control: Featuring the Tianhe Central Intelligence Platform, the product offers dual control via LCD and smartphone app. With a built-in 4G module providing six years of free data, it supports remote temperature control and real-time monitoring, enhancing your smart living experience.
