Analysis of Aluminum Foil Application in Air Conditioning Industry

Air-conditioning aluminum foil should be divided into plain foil and hydrophilic foil according to its production process and performance. Hydrophilic foil is coated with anti-corrosion inorganic coating and hydrophilic organic coating on the surface of aluminum foil. It also has the functions of anti-corrosion, anti-mold, and no odor. Compared with plain foil, its cooling efficiency is improved by about 5 %, is more ideal air conditioning heat sink material. Hydrophilic foil accounted for more than 80% of the total amount of aluminum foil used in air-conditioning, inverter air conditioners, export export air-conditioning more use of hydrophilic foil, and domestic sales of mid-range air conditioners, window machines, automotive air-conditioning using more prime foil.

At present, there are not many aluminum foil manufacturers that have a certain production scale and can meet the supply requirements of medium-sized air-conditioning manufacturers. These enterprises are mainly divided into three categories: the front-line enterprises can produce plain foil and can produce hydrophilic foils, such as the North China Aluminum Plant, Changshu Aluminum Foil Factory and other four or five enterprises; the second type of enterprises can only produce plain foil. There are a large number of enterprises, such as Bohai Aluminum, Southwest Aluminum, Shanghai Alcoa, etc.; the third category can only produce hydrophilic foils.

The amount of aluminum foil used for air conditioning varies greatly depending on the model and power level. In recent years, the thickness of aluminum foil for air conditioning has been reduced from 0.12mm to 0.15mm to 0.09mm to 0.11mm. At the same time as the production of air conditioners has become more efficient, energy-saving, and lighter, the demand for aluminum foils for air conditioners has increased year-on-year. With a drastic reduction, the average amount of aluminum foil for air conditioning has been reduced from 5 kg to 3.5 kg per horse. In the recent two years, the ratio of high-power air conditioners has increased, and the amount of aluminum foil used in each air conditioner has reached 7 to 10 kilograms. In view of this, at present, the average amount of aluminum foil used in each air conditioner remains at 4 kg or more.

In 2004, China's air-conditioning output was 70.32 million units. Calculated with 4 kg of aluminum for each air conditioner, the annual demand for air-conditioning aluminum foil was close to 280,000 tons. Some of these Japanese-funded and Korean-funded enterprises generally import aluminum foil for air-conditioning from their home countries for the production of air-conditioners that are sold back to the country. However, domestic companies imported a small amount of aluminum foil for air-conditioning because of supply and quality requirements. Based on the above factors, the supply of aluminum foil for domestic air-conditioning in 2004 should be around 150,000 tons.

Comparing refrigerators and washing machines, it took about 12 to 15 years to develop to a relatively mature industry. At present, China's air-conditioning industry is in an integration period in the past two years.

It is predicted that by 2005 to 2007, China's air-conditioning industry will enter a mature period. If the air-conditioning industry started in 1991, from 2005 to 2007, China's air-conditioning industry will enter a steady period of development, the steady-state air-conditioning market, domestic sales of 20 million units.

It is conservatively estimated that if air-conditioners in China maintain an annual output of 40 million units, and each air-conditioner uses 4 kilograms of aluminum foil, then the amount of aluminum foil used will increase by 160,000 tons per year. With the improvement of per capita income level and the acceleration of urbanization, there is ample room for growth in China's air-conditioning consumption, which will effectively promote the demand for aluminum foil.

In the context of China becoming a global air-conditioning production base, the aluminum foil market for air-conditioning is facing a huge space for development.
