Air Conditioning: PK aluminum brass copper consumption Q Zhang Jia original sin
Recently, the country's second largest air conditioning manufacturer Midea first stirred up the "black heart tube" concept, saying that certain domestic manufacturers use copper instead of aluminum brass, some with dark derogatory "aluminum brass" peer "jerry" damage the interests of consumers, the U.S. air-conditioning would lead to Hisense, Kelon, Haier and many other air conditioning companies rushed to refute.

Derived from the "copper substitution"
Copper are not renewable resources, as the global real estate industry, automobile, electrical manufacturing industries have emerged, the more digging copper more space, more and more copper prices rise, and continued to run high, so that consumption of copper was significantly air conditioning business having a hard time, "copper substitution" of this it came into being. The copper has become the advent of air conditioning season in platitudes manufacturers Zhang Jia a major excuse.
Air conditioning, according to a new person in charge of branches to 1.5 air-conditioning, for example, need to use copper in about 6-7 kg. The 1P air conditioning copper in 5 kilograms. Copper prices in May this year 60,830 yuan / ton to calculate, 1P air conditioning costs in terms of copper it will cost 304.5 yuan, while the 1.5P air conditioning calculation of 7 kg of copper is required by 425.81 yuan, now a general store in 1P about 2000 yuan, accounting for the copper side on one of the six market price, representing a large part of the cost. Copper bullish year gave birth to "copper alternative" research. ,
Current "copper substitution" Research in full swing in all air conditioning manufacturers be held, the original air-conditioning heat exchanger has been developed can be all aluminum and aluminum fin heat exchanger in parallel flow heat exchanger replacement, air conditioning cooling pipe brass pipe or tube can be replaced, for various reasons, although much cheaper than copper aluminum, but can be successfully introduced to the market only connection between indoor and outdoor compressor brass aluminum available pipe replacement, aluminum brass have emerged long ago, to today has developed to the third generation. The cost of this pipeline, 6% copper, with aluminum instead of copper, the production cost of 60 yuan.
In copper has reached 8,900 U.S. dollars / ton in 2006, almost all domestic air conditioner manufacturers are using aluminum brass. But almost all manufacturers use aluminum for their own brass thing in the United States and the Da Bao "black heart tube" before the news are absolutely silent.
Ask?? Why lower the cost of anti-market price up?
Theoretical point of view, the use of aluminum brass manufacturers have set about reducing air conditioning costs 60 yuan, to May, for example, in May 2006 copper was 72,150 yuan / ton in May this year, copper prices 60,830 yuan / ton, just from the copper side, air-conditioning costs compared with last May was a drop. Each year, air-conditioning season the biggest reason is that manufacturers price increases: "Copper prices rose, our existence is very difficult, so we have to rise … …", air-conditioning Zhangjia like never turning back, I believe been Marketplace intend to buy air-conditioned consumers found that almost without exception this year's air conditioning yuan in 2000, compared to last year, copper prices rose the most crazy claims an age of the average price rose 200 yuan. I still remember last year's profit of U.S. 314 million air-conditioning, Gree Electric Appliances net profit of 310 million of income revenue. (

) Seems to call up the more copper, more air conditioning prices rose, the more up wallet manufacturers.
These are just a rough comparison of the data, is that manufacturers do not have time to buy in May copper production. Real production operation more complicated, in fact more manufacturers to reduce production costs, often spend large sums of money in the purchase of copper at low copper prices, and reproduction, air-conditioning season in May this year a lot of time there will be a part inventory in the market, product cost and sales process will produce part of the operating costs, a more complex. But it is obvious, in fact, even if the price reduction of copper or other materials, or use the aluminum tubes, air-conditioned terminal price is still climbing higher and higher, consumers may not be able to benefit, as copper prices consumers pay is always.
