For a long time, the technological innovation ability has been recognized as the core capability in Hongfeng Company, and in terms of innovation capacity building, it pays attention to key factors such as system construction, talent training, grasp of the technical situation, cutting-edge technology tracking, and key technology research. Through the practical experience of technological innovation, the enterprise technology center has continuously transformed and improved the steam trap series product system, withstood the test of the market, and has declared a total of 46 core patents for main products such as steam traps and condensate recovery devices, including 6 inventions, 36 utility models, 4 appearances, 15 patents declared in 2021, 4 utility models have been authorized, 5 utility models have been formally accepted, and 7 invention patents have entered the actual investigation stage; Completed the revision of GB/T 22654-2008 "Technical Conditions for Steam Traps" and GB/T12247-2015 "Classification of Steam Traps", and formulated JB/T 11170-2011 "Condensate and Exhaust Steam Closed Recovery Device", JB/T13154-2017 "Test Method for Condensate and Exhaust Steam Closed Recovery Water Pump Device" and JB/T13599-2018 "Gas Trap" and other standards, which were presided over by the National Institute of Standardization in 2021. The GB/T12712-91 "Technical Management Requirements for Condensate Recovery and Steam Traps in Steam Heating Systems" project led by Hongfeng Company has been approved and issued, and the standard is in the drafting stage, and it is expected to be submitted for approval in 2022. Seven new products developed by the enterprise technology center have won the honor of provincial excellent new products, and two scientific and technological achievements have won the second and third prizes of the provincial science and technology progress award.

After entering the "14th Five-Year Plan", the enterprise technology center will continue to develop advanced and high-end traps such as special traps for nuclear safety islands, traps for weapons and ships, venturi traps, intelligent traps, etc., and expand and develop automatic valves for axial flow check valves, pressure reducing valves and regulating valves with advanced technology, so as to help enterprises maintain their leading and leading position in the domestic industry while expanding professional valve testing and maintenance and energy-saving and water-saving technical service business, so as to realize the mutual promotion and integrated development of advantageous manufacturing and producer services. While stabilizing the domestic market, we will take the initiative to open up the international market and build an international brand.
