As one of the major compressor manufacturers in the world, we acknowledge the environmental impact resulting from our product design. Therefore, product design of Rechi Precision takes in consideration not only the user requirements, functionality and added value of the product, but also looks intently into the environmental impact. Starting from the design stage, we consider potential environmental impacts and design our products from aspects of alleviating environmental burdens.

Design and development of environment-friendly refrigerant compressor

For mitigating ozone layer destruction caused by HCFCs, also for complying with regulations of the “Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer” addressing HCFCs, Rechi has successively accomplished development of compressors for HFC refrigerants(R407C/R410A/R134a) starting from 1998.

Development of high-efficiency compressors

For reducing energy wastage, Rechi has continually committed itself to developing high-efficiency compressors, and has successively manufactured air-conditioner compressors that cope with Energy Star programs enacted by countries around the world. Additionally, an even more high-efficient DC inverter compressor has been developed, to cope with the 2011 energy efficiency elevation requirements set forth by the government.

Control of RoHS –
Restriction of Hazardous Substances

In order to mitigate environmental impact caused by hazardous substances, European Union issued the RoHS directive in 2003, and restricted use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic equipment starting July 2006. The substances banned under RoHS are mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Coping with the RoHS directive, Rechi verified and improved all its products, together with its cooperating suppliers, and managed to produce RoHS compliant compressors starting July 2005.
