About Galaxy Bûtenunit foar waarmtepomp
Galaxy is in bûtenunit foar in sintraal airconditioningsysteem foar thús. Galaxy soarget foar ferwaarming, kuolling en waarm wetter, en brûkt it miljeufreonlike kuolmiddel R290. De modulêre panielen kinne troch ien persoan ynstallearre, fuorthelle en ûnderholden wurde, en ferburgen klemmen hâlde it bûtenflak ûnbrutsen. De panielen binne makke fan recycled plestik op basis fan seeôffal en binne net ferve. Grafeen is oanbrocht op de lamellen fan de waarmtewikseler foar wjerstân tsjin korroazje, waar en feroldering. It donkergrize lichem mei in stjerrepatroan past by in protte bûtenomjouwings.

- Production Technology
- It uses a new type of environmentally friendly refrigerant. The plastic panels of the outdoor unit are made of recyclable plastics with marine waste as the raw material.
- Design Challenge
- This design breaks through the limitation that existing outdoor units require a completely new design for updates. By only designing and replacing the panels while keeping the fuselage unchanged, it not only greatly simplifies the renewal process but also enables personalized customization based on users' preferences and different scenarios. This makes the product better meet users' actual needs, significantly expands the product's application scope and market potential, and brings more value and choices to users.
- Research
- This research focuses on the problems of high energy consumption of traditional outdoor units and the great processing difficulty of sheet metal materials, and has successfully found solutions. By adopting the R290 environmentally friendly refrigerant, a remarkable improvement in energy efficiency has been achieved. In addition, this refrigerant is inexpensive, reducing the operating cost. Meanwhile, the panel is made of recyclable plastic material, which is not only environmentally friendly but also expands more room for imagination in appearance design, meeting diverse aesthetic requirements.
- Inspiration
- Existing outdoor AC units have issues. Their materials aren't eco-friendly, disassembly is hard, and they look dull.The R290 heat pump unit Galaxyglow differs. It uses a new green refrigerant,cutting the greenhouse effect. Its plastic panels are recyclable, recycling marine waste to protect the environment. The innovative buckle design allows for easy installation and keeps the exterior whole. With a dark-gray body and starry decor, it looks nicer. This unit combines practicality and aesthetics well.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2024 in Ningbo China.
- Operation Flow
- It adopts a modular design, which enables the front panel and the body to form an easily detachable structure. The hidden buckle design ensures the integrity of the appearance. When it comes to reinstallation, it can be operated by one person, saving labor costs and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.
