Midea Compressor Recognized: KOLs' Teardown Videos Expose Aircons' Core Component

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recently, influencers from Thailand and Malaysia shared teardown reviews of air conditioners, sparking widespread discussion. Many were surprised to learn that top Japanese brands like Panasonic and Daikin use “GMCC” compressors—manufactured by Midea, the world’s No.1 residential inverter AC company.

Malaysian Tech DIYer Berani Buat disassembled Daikin and Panasonic units and found the GMCC label inside. His video drew attention, with viewers surprised by a Chinese-made core part in a Japanese-branded product. Meanwhile, Thai creators like Daddy Tips , Lungchang, BT Beartai and Extreme IT also shared similar findings and demonstrated how the core compressor helps AC to cool down. These reviews challenge perceptions of brand origin and highlight Midea’s role not just as a supplier, but as a global innovator in air conditioning—quietly powering ACs with cutting-edge compressor technology.

Compressor: The “Heart” of Inverter Air Conditioners
The compressor is the most critical component in an air conditioning system, directly influencing cooling efficiency and energy consumption. Inverter technology optimizes the compressor's speed according to room temperature fluctuations, significantly improving energy efficiency compared to traditional fixed-speed air conditioners. Midea has become a key player in the supply chain, not only powering its own air conditioners but also providing compressors to other international brands such as Panasonic and Daikin.

Technological Superiority: Energy Efficiency and Performance

Midea’s self-developed inverter compressor delivers up to 50% energy savings over traditional models and 20% over standard inverters. Its AI algorithm analyzes indoor temperatures to reduce fluctuations, boosting comfort and efficiency. Paired with the AI ECOMASTER, which uses big data to adjust in real time, it offers ultra-precise ±0.3°C control. This minimizes unnecessary changes and cuts energy waste. Verified by SGS to achieve up to 30% additional savings, Midea leads in smart, energy-efficient air conditioning technology.

Southeast Asia's Ideal Solution: Localized Design and Excellent Durability
