As spring surges forward, it is the perfect time to forge ahead. From January 14–16, 2026, the Heat Pump and Air Conditioning Components Procurement Fair was held as scheduled in Shunde, Guangdong, alongside the 10th Council Meeting of the Heat Pump Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association. As an important member of the association, Sanhua was invited to attend and jointly envision the future blueprint of the heat pump industry.

Throughout 2025, the heat pump industry continued to face pressure due to economic downturns, sluggish real estate markets, and weak consumer demand. However, with the deepening of the national “Dual Carbon” strategy and the progressive implementation of the Action Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of the Heat Pump Industry, the industry is receiving strong policy-driven momentum and continues to hold tremendous growth potential.

With over 40 years of expertise in thermal management, Sanhua has consistently driven industry transformation through technological innovation, building strong global competitiveness in core heat pump components. In 2025, the company’s refrigeration and air-conditioning components business maintained steady growth. Among them, electronic expansion valves, four-way reversing valves, and six other core products achieved a global market share exceeding 50%, providing solid support for the large-scale development of the heat pump industry. To meet the needs of diverse application scenarios, Sanhua has developed a full range of core heat pump products, continuously transforming technological advantages into substantial green value.

01 — Industrial Applications

In the industrial sector, Sanhua takes performance, efficiency, and economic viability into full consideration, offering a range of high-temperature valve products. For industrial waste heat recovery scenarios, the system-equipped VPF series electronic expansion valve achieves 130°C temperature resistance, enabling stable and precise refrigerant flow control even in high-temperature conditions and significantly improving energy utilization efficiency.

02 — Heating Applications

In the heating sector, Sanhua provides different solutions tailored to the climatic differences between northern and southern regions. For the extremely low outdoor temperatures in northern winters, Sanhua’s plate heat exchangers adopt a unique anti-freezing design, placing them among the industry leaders in freeze resistance. In addition, recognizing the flammability and explosiveness of the eco-friendly refrigerant R290, Sanhua’s plate heat exchangers utilize optimized flow channel design to achieve a 37% reduction in refrigerant charge, verified by authoritative testing from Sanhua’s Plate Heat Exchanger Performance and Explosion-Proof Laboratory.

03 — CO₂ Heat Pump Applications

In the field of CO₂ heat pumps, Sanhua’s CO₂ transcritical system components set a benchmark for energy efficiency. Addressing the high pressure of CO₂, the pioneering CO₂ four-way valve features a design pressure of 14 MPa and has officially entered mass production. Supported by the DPF (CO₂) electronic expansion valve, the system is able to operate under optimal working conditions.

As a core driving force for green and low-carbon development, heat pump technology will continue to benefit from Sanhua’s efforts. The company remains committed to innovation in core components and system solutions for heat pumps, providing essential support for environmental transformation.
