0 %
0 Cases
The Company encountered zero instances of product recalls due to safety concerns or otherwise in 2024 and suffered no financial losses from lawsuits concerning product safety.
Kaori has developed its own quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 Quality
Management System and implemented a series of management procedures and operational guidelines to guide quality management practices throughout the Company.
To reduce carbon emissions by 95%.
Deepen the investment and research and development of energy-saving, carbon-reducing and green energy products, and become a key supplier of low-carbon technology and circular economy industry chain.
Featuring wave patterns stamped on 304 or 316 stainless steel materials, Kaori's brazed plate heat exchangers are made through multi-point brazing of stainless steel with copper or nickel in a vacuum furnace, thereby allowing them to operate under extreme pressure in a very small chassis while making them especially suitable for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Meanwhile, the wave patterns stack on top of each other to form conduits that create a turbulent flow of the coolant even at low flow speeds. This enables the heat exchangers to achieve high thermal conduction efficiency in a small heat transfer area. In systems that require high efficiency, the use of brazed plate heat exchangers may further increase the coefficient of performance (COP) and reduce the overall space needed to install the modules, which in turns lessens the need for fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHG) and is a more efficient and environmentfriendly design.
Offers better heat conduction in a smaller size compared to spiral type or shell and tube type heat exchangers. With proper design, gasket plate heat exchangers can be more efficient at transferring heat and easier to clean, maintain, disassemble, and install while retaining the potential for capacity expansion.
Heat-resistant nickel-base superalloys are assembled using Kaori's proprietary brazing technology in conjunction with advanced TIG welding to allow heat transfer under high temperatures. The material achieves a thermal cycle efficiency of 60%. This demonstration of exceptional brazing and TIG welding techniques has gained recognition from green manufacturers worldwide and made Kaori a long-term strategic partner.
A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a form of distributed energy system which involves generating and supplying power directly to local users based on their requirements. Kaori's solutions offer a high degree of versatility that make them suitable for medium- and small-size energy conversion systems of various purposes. Ships, for example, may install fuel cell power systems to replace diesel power.
The hydrogen generator takes in a methanol solution and applies a process called pressure swing absorption (PSA) to purify and generate high-purity hydrogen (99.999%). It is widely used in industrial processes that make use of the gases generated, such as hydrogen reduction furnaces, heat treatment furnaces, semiconductors, and optoelectronics.
Kaori's Thermal Energy Business has come up with an immersion liquid cooling system to cool the increasing number of cloud data center servers worldwide. When used in data center servers, immersion liquid cooling system is able to quickly disseminate heat buildup from high performance computing, and when used in conjunction with Kaori's plate heat exchanger, power usage effectiveness (PUE) can be kept below 1.1.
Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is an internationally accepted measurement for the power efficiency of data centers. PUE is calculated by dividing the “total data center power draw” by the “total IT equipment power draw”. A low PUE indicates that the data center requires less power for cooling, which suggests lower power consumption and greater environmental friendliness.

Kaori has developed its own quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System and implemented a series of management procedures and operational guidelines to guide quality management practices throughout the Company. Furthermore, Kaori has open communication channels in place to gather customers' opinions, quality feedback, audit findings, etc., for ongoing improvements. The Company will continue listening to customers' voices and adopting total quality management to satisfy customers' needs.
All of the Company’s business units were certified under the latest international quality management system, ISO 9001:2015, in 2020. In addition, the Fuel Cell Division obtained certification for the latest aerospace quality management standard, AS9100:D, in February 2022. These certifications guide the Company in its continuous improvement efforts, enabling the delivery of the most reliable quality and services to customers. Kaori remains committed to its customer-centric service philosophy and refrains from all actions that compromise product quality or endanger customers' safety. By making quality a part of our corporate culture and employees' conviction, we strive to become customers' trusted partner and work with customers and suppliers toward sustainability.
The Company encountered zero instances of product recalls due to safety concerns or otherwise in 2023 and suffered no financial losses from lawsuits concerning product safety.
To bring traceability into the products manufactured, Kaori has adopted an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and a manufacturing execution system (MES) that digitally integrate all processes from material purchase, storage, production, and quality management to financial management. These systems record the details of every production stage and ensure that accurate data can be generated quickly to support Kaori's commitment to quality assurance.

Quality Improvement Highlights for 2024
Kaori encourages all employees to participate in making persistent improvements and promotes quality
awareness as a way to unite and motivate employees. An incentive program called “Quality Improvement
Proposal” has been implemented to guide and encourage employees toward innovative thinking. The
program invites all employees to contribute new ideas on ways to improve quality and business management,
whether in terms of processes, products, or the organization, so that the organization can strive toward
excellence and ensure continuity.
