About Cling

Zhengzhou Kelin Motor Vehicle Air Conditioning Co.,Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as CLING A/C)was established in September 2003. As the subsidiary of Molead which is a commercial vehicle comprehensive parts and solution provider, Cling mainly develops, produces and sells high-end bus air conditioning systems and related parts. lt covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters, has four automatic assembly production lines and four core production lines, and has the production capacity of 100,000 sets of vehicle air conditioning systems per year. lt is an integrated air conditioning product and service provider in high-end bus air conditioning industry.

CLING A/C has a variety of high-end bus air conditioning products such as rooftop type, built-in type, back-mounted type, all-electric type and independent type, which fully cover 6~25m passenger transport, bus, tourism, school bus, new energy and other market segments to meet the demands of different customers for products. CLING A/C is one of the first excellent enterprises that obtain the national industrial product production license. Since its establishment, CLING A/C has developed rapidly by an annual growth rate of more than 10%. At present, it has a market share of more than 650000 sets.

R&D and Production Capabilities

Since its establishment, Cling has built an R&D team of over 100 senior engineers and PhDs, holding more than 340 patents in bus air conditioning.

Cling has five automatic final assembly lines, one dedicated automatic assembly line for high-end commercial vehicle air conditioning, two heat exchanger production lines, and a microchannel heat exchanger production line with a daily output of 800 units, achieving an annual production capacity of 100,000 sets.

Equipped with online helium leak detection systems, rain simulation test lines, automatic refrigerant charging systems, and finished product function testing equipment, we ensure product quality.

For leak detection, advanced helium leak detectors, refrigerant leak detectors, and differential pressure leak detectors are employed. Utilizing a dual “static + operational” leak detection process, leak detection accuracy exceeds industry standards.

For refrigerant charging, vacuum equipment and automatic refrigerant charging machines achieve a system vacuum level of 40Pa through “rough pumping + fine pumping,” with charging accuracy ≤1%.

For entropy value testing, the “Comprehensive Electrical Operation Testing System” and “Entropy Value Testing Operation System” perform six electrical safety checks to ensure insulation integrity and voltage withstanding of products. These systems provide quality assessment under actual air conditioning operating conditions, guaranteeing product reliability. Test data is automatically uploaded to a database for quality traceability.

Rain testing: Utilizes a rain testing line to assess air conditioning sealing integrity, enhancing reliability and reducing after-sale leakage failures.

Air conditioning component testing includes NVH testing, EMC static discharge and transient immunity testing, salt spray testing, high/low temperature humidity testing, high/low temperature shock testing, static torque testing, mechanical property testing, pressure pulse testing, material combustion testing, odor detection, cleanliness testing, hardness testing and direct-reading testing of copper/aluminum materials. All these testing items comprehensively ensure optimal performance of all air conditioning components.

The ISO9001 and TS16949 quality management systems are applied to core processes including R&D, procurement, production, and service, with quality control integrated throughout the entire development lifecycle.

Cling holds TS16949, ISO9001, VCA, and E-mark certifications, and has implemented 6S on-site management to guarantee product quality.
