Domestic Air Conditioning

Godrej developed India’s first commercially available R290 split air conditioner in 2012 and has since expanded its hydrocarbon product roll-out. In 2017, the company reached market sales of over 400,000 units.
The company’s general manager Diptendu Bhattacharya declared that the use of R290 has both environmental and economic benefits. The use of micro-channel heat exchangers brought up COP by 16.5%, lowered power consumption by 20%, and the charge size to 360g to comply with European standard EN 378. In a next step, Godrej plans to reduce the channel sizes in the micro-channel condensers, and to commercialise the refrigerant leak detection system developed in-house.
Godrej has cooperated with UNEP and UNDP to open a production line in Maldives in an effort to promote energy efficient R290 air-conditioner units outside India.
