The only home-appliance company! Midea refrigerators led the development of a standard for refrigeration equipment for a space station

Midea became the only home-appliance manufacturer to lead the development of the Chinese standard “Semiconductor Refrigeration Appliances for a Space Station.” Food freshness-preservation technologies originally created for space are now being actively applied in consumer refrigerators with long-term storage and air purification functions.

The only home-appliance company! Midea refrigerators led the development of a standard for refrigeration equipment for a space station

Midea is the only company manufacturing home appliances to lead the development of the “Semiconductor Refrigeration Appliances for Space Stations” standard within the newly established aerospace industry standards group of the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, becoming the first refrigerator brand to “cross over” and take part in developing aerospace standards.

Behind these “space-grade” capabilities lies Midea’s fundamental logic: “research ingredients first, then refrigerators”.

Leveraging a dual database of household microorganisms and food preservation methods, Midea developed large-capacity aerospace-grade refrigerators that ensure stable freshness preservation of apples for 80 days.

This cutting-edge technology has now been implemented in civilian applications:

  • 🧼 PST+ Intelligent Purification System instantly removes odors in 3 minutes

  • Combined with Low-Oxygen Cellar PRO and Microcrystal One-Week Fresh technologies, creating a “total food freshness” system

  • Particularly impressive is the ultra-intelligent constant-temperature freezing technology, which preserves more than 98% of the juice in beef stored in the refrigerator for 30 days while maintaining freshness.
