Core Viewpoint - Major companies in the air conditioning industry, including Haier, Midea, Xiaomi, and TCL, have committed to adhering to the "Self-Discipline Convention for Aluminum Reinforcement Application Research Working Group" to promote the "aluminum instead of copper" technology and enhance industry competitiveness. However, Gree Electric Appliances has notably not joined this initiative, expressing skepticism about the reliability of aluminum as a substitute for copper [1][3][5]. Group 1: Industry Developments - The air conditioning sector is focusing on the innovation and standardization of "aluminum instead of copper" technology, with new group standards being published for aluminum tube heat exchangers [3]. - Gree Electric Appliances has participated in the revision of national standards related to "aluminum instead of copper" but has not engaged in the self-discipline convention, highlighting its cautious stance on the technology [3][5]. - The ongoing debate over "aluminum instead of copper" has persisted for over a decade, often reignited by fluctuations in copper prices, which can account for 20% of the cost of an air conditioner [6].
