小米集团大家电部总经理单联瑜就近日热搜话题"为什么冰箱能一直开但空调不能"发表看法，认为空调实际上也可以一直开启[1]。他指出，在常年高温地区，空调长时间运行是很常见的使用场景[1]。
格力市场总监朱磊也表达了相似观点，强调只要质量没问题，空调完全可以一直开[1]。朱磊进一步解释了两者在实际使用中存在差异的原因：冰箱时刻需要保鲜储存食物，而房间并非时时刻刻都有人，这导致日常家庭里空调很少全天候运行[1]。这一话题于8月4日冲上热搜[1]。
Xiaomi's large appliance division general manager Shan Lianyu has weighed in on a trending online discussion about why refrigerators can operate continuously while air conditioners typically cannot, arguing that air conditioning units are equally capable of running non-stop.[1] Shan noted that "air conditioning can actually run continuously, particularly in regions with persistently high temperatures where extended air conditioning operation is a common usage scenario."[1]
Gree's market director Zhu Lei echoed similar sentiments, stating that "as long as the quality is sound, air conditioning can absolutely run continuously."[1] However, Zhu attributed the reason air conditioning typically does not run all day to differences in household usage patterns.[1] "In daily household settings, air conditioning rarely operates around the clock—fundamentally because refrigerators must constantly preserve and store food, whereas rooms are not occupied at all times," Zhu explained.[1] The topic trended on social media on August 4.[1]
