Continental Group grew faster in 2010 than the entire automotive market, especially the emerging Asian market. In the automotive business of the Group last year, sales in Asia rose to 21%, while last year the Group’s sales in Asia increased by nearly 50% to more than 4 billion Euros. In the long run, the Continental Group hopes that its sales revenue will increase substantially in China, so that its market share in the Asian region will be comparable to its market share in the current core markets in Europe and North America for many years. Continental started its business in China with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) Corporation in Shanghai and established Shanghai Automotive Braking System Co., Ltd. in 1994. So far, the Continental Group has built 18 production plants and 15 sales offices in China and employs approximately 14,000 people. In 2009, Continental Group put into operation its new Asia Pacific headquarters and research and development center in Yangpu District, Shanghai, not only its Asian headquarters, but also an important R&D center. It is mainly responsible for the design and testing of automotive electronic products. Continental Automotive Jiading R&D Center is another technical center of Continental Group in Shanghai. It is dedicated to the development and testing of electronic brake systems, hydraulic brake systems and engine management and control systems. The two R&D centers have a total investment of up to 60 million euros. With sales of 26 billion euros in 2010, Continental AG is one of the world's leading suppliers of automotive parts and components. The Group's business covers braking systems, powertrains and chassis systems and components, instrumentation, infotainment systems, automotive electronics, tires and industrial rubber products. It is committed to driving safety and environmental protection. Continental AG is also an excellent partner in automotive network communications. At present, the Group has approximately 150,000 employees worldwide and operates in 46 countries. Each year, Continental recruits approximately 1,500 graduates and young professionals worldwide, of which Germany and China are approximately 400 and 200 respectively. In 2011, the Continental Group will mainly recruit engineers and chemical professionals. The Continental Group cooperates with eight internationally renowned universities including MIT, Aachen University of Technology and Tsinghua University through the Global Project Excellence Program. The Continental Group has established contacts with 250 universities worldwide through its more than 500 corporate campus ambassadors.

3, Cold room refrigerant choice
â—‡Ammonia: the oldest in history, the best choice in the field of industrial refrigeration worldwide. Due to the characteristics of the ammonia system, it is generally used for centralized refrigeration, with a special machine room for large-scale refrigeration systems (more than 10,000 tons of cold storage). There is a trend toward miniaturization and modulation, with an emphasis on improving safety and reducing the amount of charging.
â—‡ Freon: It is widely used in cold storage to disperse refrigeration. It is suitable for small and medium-sized cold storage and large-scale cold storage with limited ammonia. For environmental protection, large-scale cold storage The Freon system should be avoided as much as possible.
â—‡ CO2: The cold storage application is mainly based on cascade system and loading system. The low-temperature field is more suitable for cascade. The high-temperature field is suitable for loading. The cascade system is more expensive than the traditional ammonia and Freon system.

How is a cold room designed?
A good design of these rooms considers not only the selection of equipment, but its location for a safe access of the personnel. To ensure a safe access and maneuver into the cold room, it is necessary that contractors, engineers and owners participate in the project to determine the selection of a cooling system determined by analyzing life cycle cost and energy efficiency.
