Midea Showcases Cutting-Edge Sustainable HVAC Solutions at C&R 2025 in Madrid
From November 18 to 20, 2025, Midea Air Conditioning made a significant impact at C&R 2025, a prestigious trade fair in Madrid, showcasing an impressive array of sustainable HVAC innovations. Among the highlights was the R290 series, which embodies Midea's commitment to its 'GREEN VISION BLUE FUTURE' philosophy. Recognized as the first company globally to launch R290 air conditioning solutions, Midea has paved the way since a pilot production initiative in 2010. This initiative, supported by the United Nations, led to the establishment of 12 advanced production lines, enabling an output capacity of 6.4 million units annually.
The global acceptance of Midea's R290 products plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and setting international standards for environmentally friendly refrigerants. Furthermore, with over 10,000 engineers and 42 dedicated laboratories, Midea is at the forefront of developing a comprehensive R290 product range suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Their objective is clear: to make green technology accessible and scalable for a wider audience.
Another significant aspect of Midea's display was the introduction of the ECOMASTER system, an AI-driven solution that intelligently optimizes energy consumption for HVAC units. By analyzing both indoor and external climatic conditions in real-time, ECOMASTER can adjust settings with remarkable precision (±0.3°C), ensuring optimal comfort while achieving energy savings of over 30%. Featured in models like the Solstice and Solunar, these units exhibit outstanding energy ratings, with Solstice achieving an A+++ for cooling and an A++ for heating, while Solunar meets A++ cooling and A+ heating standards — a testament to Midea's dedication to smart and sustainable technology.
The booth also presented the PortaSplit portable air conditioner, which has quickly garnered attention for its impressive performance metrics, including a SEER rating of 6.1 and SCOP of 4.0. Its adaptable design accommodates various European window types, making it ideal for an array of architectural styles from contemporary flats to historic buildings. The demonstration at the event highlighted its straightforward, three-step installation process, contributing to robust market demand and a complete sell-out launch in France.
Further energizing the showcase was the H-Pack, a compact heating solution that earned a spot in this year's CR Innovation Gallery. This system is commendable for its low-GWP refrigerant and seamless integration with existing gas boiler setups, all crafted using eco-friendly R290 refrigerant. This modular design not only eases installation and upkeep but also represents a cost-effective and space-conscious answer to modern heating needs. Live expert demonstrations revealed its practicality in various applications.
Beyond its innovative products, Midea prioritized professional development through interactive workshops that fostered industry exchange and collaboration during the event. Their brand presence was magnified through promotional efforts connected to their sponsorships with Manchester City and Sevilla FC, emphasizing Midea's commitment to community engagement and excellence.
As Midea continues its ambitious trajectory towards fostering intelligent transformation in both residential and industrial environments, it remains dedicated to sustainability and innovation. With aspirations for a future shaped by collaboration between humans and machines, the integration of KUKA robotics and MIRA automation technologies exemplifies their goal to redefine efficiency and enhance human experiences, empowering creativity and progress in everyday life.
