Types of Air Conditioner Assembly Lines

 

Air conditioner assembly lines can be classified from several perspectives. The following is a systematic summary:

A. By Product Type
1. **Residential A/C Assembly Line**
– Includes **indoor-unit line** and **outdoor-unit line**, handling fans, electric controls, evaporators, compressors, condensers, etc.
2. **Commercial / Industrial A/C Assembly Line**
– For large units such as central air-conditioners or heat-pump chillers; usually more complex and longer.

 

B. By Automation Level
1. **Semi-automatic Line**
– Combines manual work with automatic equipment; suitable for small-to-medium batch production.
2. **Fully-automatic Line**
– Uses PLC control, robots, automatic testing, etc.; ideal for high-volume, standardized production.

 

C. By Conveying Method
1. **Chain Conveyor Line**
– Simple structure, heavy load capacity; good for heavy parts.

2. **Roller Conveyor Line**
– Smooth, low-noise transport for medium-weight products.

3. **Belt / Slat Conveyor Line**
– For light-duty assembly, often used for electronic sub-assemblies or small components.

4. **Overhead (Power-and-Free) Conveyor Line**
– Saves floor space; suitable for long processes with many stations.

 

D. By Assembly Stage
1. **Sub-assembly Line**
– Independent lines for compressors, heat exchangers, electric control boxes, etc.
2. **Main Assembly Line**
– Integrates all sub-assemblies into the complete unit—fastening, wiring, piping, etc.
3. **Testing & Burn-in Line**
– Vacuum pumping, refrigerant charging, electrical safety tests, running-in (burn-in) tests.
4. **Packaging Line**
– Automatic bagging, boxing, sealing, labeling.

E. By Production Organization
1. **SKD / CKD Assembly Line**
– For export or overseas plants; uses semi-knocked-down or completely-knocked-down kits.
2. **Modular Assembly Line**
– Each functional module is independently adjustable, easy to expand and maintain.
