Low-carbon economy trend macro, etc to achieve product upgrades

During the low-carbon economy and then into a hotspot, Premier Wen in Government work report points out the necessity to "fight a protracted battle and energy-saving emission reduction," "active development of circular economy and energy-saving environmental protection industry". As with the people's livelihood of gas appliances industry, has also entered the era of low-carbon competition.

Last year at the Copenhagen climate conference, the solemn commitment of China to the world by 2020 China unit of gross domestic product (GDP) of carbon dioxide emissions than 2005 fall 40%-45%. Energy conservation and emission reduction, a long way to go, macro and other related industries, actively practice, upgrade products, made an encouraging step forward. While the "household gas instantaneous water heater" standards revision process will start in the first quarter of this year, will be completed during the year, this means the State, enterprises have already begun to prepare actively for low-carbon economy.

Macro, gas water heater industry, has been in a position of world leader. Products for gas water heater efficiency that standard, an existing national standard is 80%, July 1, 2007 the gas water heater energy efficiency standard set forth in the thermal efficiency of the bottom line of products is 84%. In accordance with the national energy-saving and long term planning, by 2010, the thermal efficiency plan 90%-95%. But the macro, as early as 2005, the macro will research and produce the first condensing gas-fired water heaters, use combustion emissions of heat for cold water to warm up, the thermal efficiency is much higher than the national standard.

It is understood that the macro introduced condensing gas-fired water heater than ordinary gas water heater added a condensation heat exchanger (or known as latent heat exchanger), you can achieve reuse waste, thereby improving efficiency. At the same time, the product is used in and on emissions of acid condensation water treatment, the actual realization of efficient energy-saving, environmental protection, low-carbon emissions. Just last year, macro launched the domestic first set of "integrated household gas-fired central hot water system", this product adopts innovative preheating cycle technology, you can save a lot of domestic water and fast preheating technology, but also can save fuel gas, environmental effect is very prominent.

According to the macro related official said that countries actively supporting low-carbon industries, manufacturers, both as an opportunity and a challenge, the macro will have been committed to the development of low carbon products, and to contribute to the national energy-saving emission reduction.
