YKR’s Global Journey: Chinese Heat Pumps Go Overseas—Winning Rave Reviews from International Users
With energy prices surging overseas in recent years, many households are seeking more cost-effective heating solutions. Exports of Chinese air-source heat pumps have skyrocketed—reaching 3.45 billion yuan in the first half of 2022 alone, a year-on-year increase of 68%.
Amidst this wave of global expansion, a Chinese brand—YKR Air Source—has quietly established a firm foothold overseas. Its products are sold in over 77 countries, with offices set up in many of them. Today, rather than discussing abstract concepts, let’s share a few real-life stories.

Munich, Germany: A demo unit running flawlessly for two years
It goes without saying that Germans are incredibly particular about quality. Yet, a YKR master distributor in Munich installed a monobloc unit as a showroom display—and for two full years, it has operated stably without a single issue.
Feedback from German distributors highlights its low noise levels and exquisite craftsmanship. Even after two years, the machine continues to operate quietly and reliably.
What does this demonstrate? That quality stands the test of time. Germans value this, and YKR has delivered.
The Netherlands: Customers arrive with questions and leave with solutions
Dutch customers have high standards for energy efficiency. The YKR team doesn't just drop off a brochure and leave; they visit the client's site to inspect the premises, discuss needs, and develop tailored solutions.
You aren't there just to sell; you are there to solve problems. This is why YKR has succeeded overseas—they aren't just selling machines; they are selling reliability.
Milan MCE & Warsaw HVAC: Sharing the stage with global brands
Milan MCE is one of the world's premier HVAC exhibitions, while Warsaw HVAC is the largest HVAC trade show in Central and Eastern Europe. YKR has showcased its products at both events.
What does this signify? Competing head-to-head with established European and American brands without hesitation. European business partners gather to view the products and discuss the technology; YKR lets its strength and quality speak for themselves.

Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand: A 2,000m² warehouse powered directly by sunlight
Thailand enjoys over 2,000 hours of sunshine annually. A 2,000m² cosmetics warehouse in Ubon Ratchathani used to rely entirely on conventional air conditioning to cope with the heat—facing the risk of skincare products melting in temperatures as high as 38°C. YKR’s solution involved a direct solar-powered heat pump system with the warehouse roof fully covered in solar panels. Sunlight directly powers the heat pump, eliminating the need for energy storage and reducing energy loss compared to traditional setups. Installation caused no disruption to normal warehouse operations—power generation and cooling proceeded simultaneously without interference.
The result? The client solved their problem without spending a penny unnecessarily.

Success in over 77 countries isn't just a matter of luck.
