The 37th China Refrigeration Expo (CRH 2026)<\/strong> ran 8\u201310 April 2026 at the Beijing Capital International Exhibition & Convention Center. With roughly 115,000 m\u00b2 of halls, 1,041 exhibitors from 30 countries<\/strong> and more than 80,000 professional visitors, it remains the single best window into China\u2019s HVAC&R supply chain. The official theme \u2014 \u201cDigital intelligence shapes cooling & heating; Zero-carbon starts a new journey\u201d<\/em> (\u6570\u667a\u5851\u51b7\u6696 \u96f6\u78b3\u542f\u65b0\u7a0b) \u2014 set the tone: efficiency and electrification, not just volume.<\/p>\n

Why CRH matters to overseas buyers<\/h2>\n

CRH is where Chinese manufacturers debut the products that show up in export catalogues 6\u201312 months later. If you specify air-to-air heat recovery, the expo floor is a free preview of what your suppliers will be quoting next season \u2014 and at what performance level.<\/p>\n

Heat-recovery trends on the floor<\/h2>\n

Enthalpy rotary wheels, larger and tighter<\/h3>\n

Total-energy (sensible + latent) rotary wheels dominated the air-handling displays: bigger diameters, better seals, dedicated purge sectors<\/a> to cut carryover, and molecular-sieve coatings for humid climates. Large AHUs for malls, airports and plants are standardising on wheels rated 75\u201385% effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Fixed-plate ERV for hygiene-sensitive spaces<\/h3>\n

Counterflow plate air-to-air recuperators<\/a> \u2014 aluminium and polymer-coated \u2014 were pitched hard for hospitals, schools, labs and cleanrooms, where zero cross-contamination matters more than absolute peak efficiency. Counterflow plates now reach 80\u201390% sensible and 70\u201380% with enthalpy (ERV) cores.<\/p>\n

High-temperature heat pumps<\/h3>\n

A recurring keynote theme (including work from Shanghai Jiao Tong University) was high-temperature heat pumps delivering 80\u201390 \u00b0C supply for industry and district heating \u2014 the demand side that makes waste-heat recovery pay back.<\/p>\n

Heat-pipe and run-around coils for data centers<\/h3>\n

Passive heat-pipe<\/a> and run-around loops reappeared for server rooms and laboratory fume hoods, where you want recovery without moving contaminated air between streams.<\/p>\n

Smarter controls<\/h3>\n

EC fans, Modbus\/BACnet interfacing and AI-driven demand control were on nearly every premium unit. Recovery is increasingly sold as a controlled system, not a passive core.<\/p>\n

What it means for specifiers<\/h2>\n

Efficiency thresholds keep rising, and buyers are now expected to ask for EN 308<\/a> or AHRI 1060<\/a> test data and Eurovent certification rather than accepting nameplate claims. That is good news: the Chinese market is maturing toward documented performance.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Q: When and where is CRH 2026 held?<\/h3>\n

A: 8\u201310 April 2026 at the Beijing Capital International Exhibition & Convention Center (\u9996\u90fd\u56fd\u9645\u4f1a\u5c55\u4e2d\u5fc3), with 1,041 exhibitors from 30 countries.<\/p>\n

Q: Is CRH relevant if I only buy from Chinese suppliers online?<\/h3>\n

A: Yes. It previews the products and performance levels that reach export markets 6\u201312 months later, so it is a useful trend check before you request quotes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
