Hisense inverter air conditioners sold 8 million units

As learned from Hisense, until October 6 the total sales amount of inverter air conditioners had exceeded eight million with the market share of over 60 percent since its first introduction in 1997. It has continuously occupied first place in the inverter market for 11 years. Also in the National Day Golden Week, Hisense inverter AC s sales amount increased 35 percent over the same period last year.

Experts believe all these achievements are due to Hisense s long-term investment of manpower and resources focusing on researching the core technology. Hisense's continued efforts accelerates the promotion of inverter AC and reflects its high sense of social responsibility.

As accounted by Mr. Chen, the Deputy Secretary-General of Household Electrical Appliances Association, currently we have nearly 200 million AC s, most of which are with the energy efficiency ratio of 2.6. However, if all were inverter ones, 130 billion degree power consumption could be saved, which would exceed Three Gorge s annual hydropower capacity (88 billion also) and 65 billion RMB in money. Therefore, it will bring enormous profits and save energy.

As recalled, Hisense began to bring in the international advanced inverter technology and production line in 1996 and created milestones of many inverter technologies:

In 1997 it launched China s first inverter AC

In 1999 China s first 180-degree sine wave DC inverter AC was born

In 2006 the DC inverter AC with the energy efficiency ratio of 7.5 was introduced, which set the new world record

Hisense introduced the 360 all-DC inverter AC, in which its technology and performance indicators all reached the international leading level. What s more because of its excellent performance in the inverter line, Hisense was nominated by National Standards Institute to draft out and revise the national standards of inverter air conditioner.
