Market Watch: How Far is the "Summer" of Car Refrigerators

With the increase of domestic car ownership, a series of related products related to it will follow. Car refrigerators, with their unique and petite advantages, are becoming more and more popular among riders at the same time they dress up as riders.

There are roughly three categories of car refrigerators currently on the market. Due to the different performances of refrigerators, prices are far from one another.

The first category is a relatively early product, because it does not have the cooling function, only the insulation function, also called the incubator. When using, the items to be refrigerated must be frozen in the refrigerator and put in the incubator. If there are ice packs, they can be put into ice packs. This will keep them frozen for a short period of time. The advantage of this type of refrigerator is that it does not consume electricity, and the price is also relatively low. The disadvantage is that it cannot be insulated for a long time and the space is small.

The second category is the semiconductor car refrigerator. Its principle is to rely on electronic chip cooling, the use of special semiconductor materials constitute the PN junction, the formation of thermocouple pairs, resulting in Peltier effect, that is, a new type of refrigeration through DC cooling, cooling effect It is about 18 degrees lower than the ambient temperature and heated to 65 degrees. The advantages of this method are that it can both refrigerate and heat, environmental protection, no pollution, small size, low cost, no vibration and noise, and long service life. The disadvantages are poor cooling efficiency and small capacity. Prices range from more than 100 to over 1,000.

The third category is the compressor on-board refrigerator. The compressor is the traditional technology of the traditional refrigerator. The cooling temperature is low, and the lowest can reach minus 18 degrees. The advantage is that the cooling effect is good and the volume is large, which is the mainstream direction of the development of future car refrigerators. The disadvantages are heavy weight, relatively high power consumption, and high prices. Compressors The major compressors for automobile refrigerators are located in Germany and Japan. The compressors for domestic high-end compressors and refrigerators are mainly made in Germany and are of good quality. The price of this type of refrigerator is more than 3,000 yuan.

How far is the "summer" of the car refrigerator?

Compressor refrigerator features:

1, can be applied to a variety of voltage power supply, whether it is 12VDC, 24VDC, 110VAC or 240VAC, compressor built-in power supply in the car refrigerator can automatically identify the different voltage and make appropriate adjustments.

2. The medium-sized compressor car refrigerator has the features of convenient transportation and excellent internal and external dimensions.

3, the compressor car refrigerator is most suitable for off-road vehicles, cars, trucks, buses, as well as yachts and boats. You can also secure them in the car if necessary.

4. Advanced automotive refrigerator compressors provide super-cooling power for the car's freezer. At the same time, its energy-saving features and mute functions are also well received. And do not need to install, directly on the car seat or carpet, or placed in the trunk, can be placed upright and lying.

In fact, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, car refrigerators have long been part of the "mobile life" of car owners. In South Korea six or seven years ago, car refrigerators have also become widespread and have become common consumer goods in cars.

The car refrigerator into China is about 2000 years, the current domestic several well-known online stores are more common Outseat, US solid, mini, love Branch, General, Schneider and other brands.

Recently, the author investigated a number of automotive supplies stores in Shenzhen and found that the brand of on-board refrigerators on the market is not as rich as what is said on the Internet. In particular, the sales of car refrigerators in the southern market have not become as hot as it has become hot. , In the largest car space in Shenzhen, the author only saw two brands of car refrigerators, one is NFA, Chinese said New Fox, New Fox Optoelectronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is a Taiwanese-owned enterprise established in 2001. Located in Shanghai; one is Pandeng, Shenzhen Pu Nengda Industrial Co., Ltd. was established in 1998, is a high-tech company dedicated to the development, production and sales of semi-conductor car refrigerator, compressor car refrigerator. And in Shenzhen's auto supplies mall Ott City, the author saw more car refrigerator brands are NFA and Parker's high, Parker is a Hong Kong brand. The author finds that the vast majority of car refrigerators sold in these two stores are semiconductor-type. The salespersons in these two places told the reporter that the monthly sales of car refrigerators in these two months are about 10 units or 20 liters. The following products are the most popular, from the price point of view, consumers prefer the 200-500 yuan price segment. In a "savage equipment" (four-wheel drive self-drive national chain) shop, the author finally saw a compressor-style car refrigerator, priced at 4,000 yuan.

"Meigu" is one of the brands of car refrigerators that the author sees most on the Internet. According to the author's understanding, the brand refrigerator is produced by the WECAO company in Germany. The company has a history of nearly 20 years. It can produce 1.2 million units of auto refrigerators and compressors, and is the world's largest auto refrigerator production plant. The relevant person in charge of the company in China disclosed to the author that as a pioneer in the field of portable refrigeration, Meigu has been committed to the R&D, production and sales of semiconductor refrigerators and AC/DC compressor refrigerators. It was once used by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, and VOLVO. The car manufacturer chooses as its OEM partner for embedded car refrigerators. However, the responsible person was puzzled that the compressor-type car refrigerator was not sold well in the Chinese market and the effect of participating in the industry exhibition was not obvious. At present, the sales market of the company's car refrigerator is mainly in foreign countries, as well as domestic ones. Some yacht manufacturers and RV owners.

Analysis of the industry, self-driving travel is increasingly popular, will stimulate the sales of car refrigerators to a certain extent. However, this part of the population is mostly young people aged 20 to 30 years old. Their purchase price is more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. This consumer group is happy to spend more than 1,000 yuan on car refrigerators. This may be the main reason why compressor-type car refrigerators have not risen in China.

The author believes that with the improvement of people’s living standards, more and more people will love to drive and travel, and the market demand for car refrigerators will gradually be released. At the same time, the technology of car refrigerators will continue to increase and mature. The price of car refrigerator products will be closer to people's expectations than other car accessories. By then, the summer of the car refrigerator industry will surely follow!
