PROFROID Joins Haier: A Green Revolution in CO₂ Refrigerant Technology When Global CO₂ Technology Champion PROFROID Joins Haier, What Does It Mean for the Industry?
When global CO₂ application technology champion brand PROFROID officially joined Haier, the industry understood a signal: this global competition around CO₂ refrigerant technology is no longer just a technological competition, but a "green revolution" that reshapes the billion-level industrial pattern.
On April 26th, the PROFROID global brand launch event was held in Wuzhen. Zhang Xinggang, General Manager of PROFROID China Heating and Ventilation, said at the meeting that integrating more than 40 European CO₂ patents and Haier's heating and ventilation patent technology advantages, the PROFROID products have been greatly improved in terms of cold and heat effects, stability and reliability, and intelligent control management. It will focus on the Chinese central air conditioning market and has launched multiple new product solutions including multi-split systems, heat pumps, and integrated machine rooms.
It is reported that PROFROID was founded in Europe in 1961 and is a subsidiary of Carrier Group. With the acquisition of Carrier's commercial refrigeration business by Haier Smart Home in 2024, PROFROID has also become a member of the Haier Group brand matrix.
The key to this industry revolution lies in the precise operation of "technology acquisition + local innovation" by Chinese enterprises. PROFROID relies on four core production bases in France, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and China, with more than 100 patents, including 44 in CO₂ production and 55 in jet technology. In 2018, it became the first manufacturer in the world to deliver 10,000 CO₂ units, applied more than 15,000 units in 2020, and delivered more than 24,000 units in 2025.
Looking at the global market, PROFROID, Daikin, and other mainstream refrigeration brands have been laying out CO₂ technology for a long time and have wide applications in the refrigeration and freezing industry. Now, Haier introduces CO₂ technology into the Chinese heating and ventilation field, and expands it to all scenarios of green buildings in industry, commerce, etc., from CO₂ units, condensing units to transcritical air conditioning systems, from refrigeration technology to heat pump technology breakthrough, forming a full-scenario product coverage in the field of heating and ventilation and refrigeration, and upgrading the energy-saving and environmentally friendly experience for users.
The current air conditioning refrigerant industry is in a key stage of environmental transformation. Compared with existing refrigerants, CO₂ refrigerant does not destroy the ozone layer, has the lowest global warming potential GWP of 1 in the industry, is easier to obtain, and is also safer. More importantly, it has "all-rounded attributes": it has been greatly improved in terms of product safety, energy efficiency ratio, and reliability.
In China, PROFROID helps the National Speed Skating Arena "Ice Silk Road" create a green and environmentally friendly Olympic venue, for the first time applies the transcritical CO₂ heat recovery scheme, successfully creates the largest artificial ice surface in Asia, saves 2 million degrees of electricity per year, and won the "First Prize of Beijing Science and Technology Progress Award"; globally, PROFROID continues to deepen strategic cooperation with international chain brands such as Sam's Club, Lawsons, and Metro. With the new product launch of PROFROID in the heating and ventilation field, it will also further expand its global status.
As more and more "carbon dioxide hearts" start to beat, we see not only the rise of a technology, but also the splendid transformation of Chinese enterprises from "followers" to "leaders".
