In recent years, PHNIX, a professional heat pump manufacturer headquartered in Guangdong Province, China, has performed very well overseas. In 2022, the company exported about 170,000 heat pump-related products. JARN visited PHNIX’s Nansha factory in Guangdong Province and learned about the stories behind this success. Founded in April 2002, PHNIX has been mainly engaged in manufacturing air-source heat pumps, water and air purification systems, and others, along with integration of product research and development (R&D), production, sales, and services. Thanks to these efforts, the company is now an international innovative enterprise, focusing on new energy and environmentally friendly technologies such as low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants. In fact, in 2021, PHNIX started mass production of air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps with propane (R290) refrigerant and expanded its sales volume to about 15% of its total sales in 2022.
