The World-Class Laboratory in Gree Electric Appliances

A machine running non-stop for 12 years

Having heard of the long-life operating laboratory in Gree Electric Appliances for years, while walking into the this R & D core center in the R&D Building in Gree, I m still surprised to find the heavy guarding to the building.

Gree R&D Building surely deserves its title with first two floors all equipped with advanced labs, when the long-life operating lab alone occupies the whole first floor.

During the visit, the person in charge pointed to a machine and said, That one has been running for 12 years.

Running for 12 years? I couldn t believe my ears.

Yes.

It has never stopped? I asked curiously.

All machines here all run 24hrs a day. This one has been here since this lab was built. For 12 years, it runs quite smoothly and never caused any problems.

Gree air Conditioner never Meets the Consumers in Eight Years

In the lab, I met Yang An, a worker just awarded the 2^nd Top Ten Migrant Young Workers in Zhuhai City. He introduced to me as I was attracted by a pile of document filling with data, this is the archive of every machine under experiment. It s just like our ID card, this document is the ID for that machine. He pointed toward a machine not far away, There are data such as its date of production, operation test period, tested voltage, operation mode, outer temperature and operation electric current.

Our professional workers would make a thorough check on these machines every half an hour. Since the air conditioner is composed of tens of thousands of parts, any problem caused in the component, such as a tiny pipe device, would directly affect its performance. So the environment set here is far worse than the actual operation environment. In Gree s lab, every product could come into the market after passing all kinds tests such as long-time operation test under harsh environment, environment and aging test, salty fog, long-time shaking, as well as electromagnetic compatibility test. he explained.

According to Yang An, years ago, Gree Electric Appliances has made the promise of Gree air conditioner never meets the consumers in Eight years . It has been proved that Gree air conditioner absolutely possesses this kind of quality.

The World-class Laboratory

Gree laboratories are regarded top class in its specifications. Gree has founded the largest professional air conditioner R & D center among the world, including over 270 world leading laboratories. It covers all kinds of areas such as enthalpy difference, heat balance and high & low temperature environment, and can be used for the test of all ranges such as household air conditioner, commercial air conditioner and compressor. Besides, its software and hardware are both in an international leading position. In October 2004, Gree laboratory was approved by the premier lab, Underwriter Laboratories Inc., becoming the first domestic air conditioning enterprise passing the UL CTDP. That means Gree is able to do the UL standard safety test within its own lab, and the result is accredited by the international market including America. What is more, Gree laboratory is also one of the first ten enterprises awarded Air Conditioner Test Device Comparison and Accreditation Laboratory . It indicates that, Gree is not only leading in test level and ability, but also in the number of test devices of air conditioner.
