**Advancing Sustainable Heating and Cooling with R290 Technology**

As the world’s leading R290 natural refrigerant air conditioner manufacturer for
16 consecutive years, Midea has advanced related compressor performance and safety
technologies. R290 has an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP), near-zero CO2
emissions, no harmful PFAS substances and approximately 10% higher energy efficiency.

A transparent model at the Midea booth allowed visitors to see the technology operating
inside the system, illustrating how environmental responsibility and performance
go hand in hand. Since 2018, Midea has sold more than [10 million R290](https://www.midea.com/global/news/10-million-midea-r290-units-sold-leading-the-way-for-the-transition-to-natural-refrigerants)
air conditioners worldwide, helping reduce carbon emissions by approximately 5.2
million tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e), an environmental impact comparable to the
carbon absorption of 6.2 million hectares of Amazon rainforest.

Among the featured solutions was H-Pack, a next generation indoor heat pump developed
by Midea’s European R&D team. Its compact, indoor only design removes the need for
an outdoor unit, helping homeowners overcome challenges related to outdoor noise,
installation space, and building restrictions. The system’s installer–friendly design
simplifies maintenance, while remote diagnostics allows technicians to identify 
and address issues remotely, reducing service visits and maintenance costs. H-Pack
supports both hybrid and all electric heating modes, offering greater flexibility
and efficiency for European households.

Midea also showcased PortaSplit, displayed in a realistic European residential setting.
Recognized for its simple setup, strong performance, and low noise operation, PortaSplit
helps users avoid costly installation procedures while maintaining a comfortable
indoor environment. The product is scheduled to adopt the R290 refrigerant in 2027.

**VitaBreeze Brings a New Era of Adaptive Comfort**

Midea’s newly launched VitaBreeze was recognized with the IFA 2026 Technology Innovation
Award, highlighting the product’s innovation in intelligent airflow management. 
The award was accepted by Ralph Kobsik, General Manager of Midea Europe GmbH, during
IFA 2026.

VitaBreeze features "AirGrid", which maps room layouts and enables visual airflow
control using a smartphone. Presence detection allows airflow to follow or avoid
occupants based on individual preferences, while wide angle air distribution ensures
consistent comfort throughout the room. The latest Breezeless Pro technology expands
airflow coverage by 30%, delivering gentle, draft free cooling, without compromising
performance.

Additional features include "ClimaBalance" precise humidity control and ECOMASTER
2.0 with predictive energy optimization, which work together to enhance comfort 
while reducing energy consumption.

**Smart Energy Management for Greener Homes**

Midea also introduced Raynor Pro, a flagship heating solution designed for Nordic
climates. Capable of operating in temperatures as low as -40°C, Raynor maintains
100% heating output at -25°C while achieving A+++ energy efficiency ratings for 
both heating and cooling. The product has also earned an iF Design Award for its
distinctive appearance developed by Midea’s Milan design team.

Completing the picture was MHELIOS, Midea’s home energy management solution. Demonstrated
in a typical residential setting, it optimizes energy storage and consumption based
on dynamic electricity pricing to reduce costs and support grid stability. Compliant
with Germany’s EnWG Section 14a, MHELIOS integrates EV chargers, heat pumps, solar
systems, and battery storage to maximize clean energy use while maintaining household
comfort.

Through innovations spanning sustainable refrigerants, intelligent heating and cooling,
and integrated energy management, Midea continues to demonstrate how technological
innovation can balance environmental responsibility with everyday comfort while 
supporting Europe’s long–term sustainability goals.
