Green Manufacturing in Action: How Jiayuan Electronics Is Reducing Carbon Footprint with Eco-Friendly Refrigerants
As global demand for sustainable products grows, Jiayuan Electronics is taking concrete steps to align our manufacturing with planetary responsibility. A key pillar of this commitment? The full transition to **environmentally friendly refrigerants**—specifically **R600a (isobutane)**—across our entire compressor-based automotive refrigerator lineup. Here’s how this shift is helping us build high-performance cooling solutions without compromising the planet.

Why Refrigerant Choice Matters
Traditional refrigerants like R134a have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of **1,430**—meaning they trap 1,430 times more heat in the atmosphere than CO₂ over a 100-year period. In contrast, **R600a has a GWP of just 3**, making it one of the most climate-friendly options available today. It’s also highly energy-efficient, enabling faster cooling with less power consumption.

Our Transition to R600a: A Technical Commitment
Switching refrigerants isn’t as simple as swapping fluids—it requires re-engineering compressors, seals, and safety protocols. Since 2023, Jiayuan has:
• Redesigned all compressor systems for R600a compatibility
• Implemented explosion-proof assembly zones (due to R600a’s mild flammability)
• Trained technicians under ISO 5149 safety standards
• Achieved 100% compliance with EU F-Gas Regulation and U.S. EPA SNAP Program
Every unit now carries clear labeling and end-of-life recycling instructions to support circular economy principles.

Measurable Impact
By producing over **200,000 R600a-based car fridges annually**, Jiayuan avoids the equivalent of:
• **28,600 metric tons of CO₂ emissions** per year (equal to planting 400,000 trees)
• Elimination of ~286 tons of high-GWP refrigerant from entering the supply chain
Additionally, R600a’s superior thermodynamic properties reduce average energy consumption by **12%**, extending battery life in off-grid and EV applications.

Beyond Refrigerants: A Holistic Green Strategy
Our sustainability journey doesn’t stop at refrigerants. Jiayuan also:
• Uses recyclable packaging (98% plastic-free)
• Sources aluminum and steel from certified low-carbon suppliers
• Recovers and reuses 95% of production waste heat
• Holds ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification
We believe true green manufacturing means responsibility at every stage—from design to delivery.
