After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, China's compressor manufacturing industry, like other industries, unrested and opened up new situations.
At the end of 1978, the company started to build a general mechanical technology design complete set company of the Ministry of Machinery Industry (in 1985, renamed China General Machinery Technology Design Complete Set).
Since 1980, Wuxi Compressor Factory, Shanghai Compressor Factory, Liuzhou First Air Compressor Factory and other units have successfully developed a large number of products, which has expanded the application field of screw compressors year by year.

In February 1982, under the specific guidance of the General Machinery Industry Bureau, the preparatory group was formed by Shenyang Gas Compressor Factory, Shanghai Compressor Factory, Beijing First General Machinery Factory, Sichuan Compressor Factory and Wuxi Compressor Factory. The key industry factory announced the establishment of the "China Compressor Joint Distribution Department".
In May 1982, the inaugural meeting of the Chinese Society of Mechanical Engineering Fluid Engineering Society and the first academic annual meeting were held in Nanjing. The Fluid Engineering Society has six professional committees for compressors, fans, valves and pipes, pump seals and separation machines.

In the early 1980s, General Machinery Research Institute and Huazhong Institute of Technology, Changchun Air Compressor Factory, Yantai Air Compressor Factory and other enterprises formed the “Micro Air Compressor Series Update” design group, using the new technology of reed valve.
The strengths of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Huazhong Institute of Technology and other institutions of higher learning continue to strengthen. Not only do they have strong scientific research capabilities, but they also have considerable testing equipment. The research work is very active and often becomes the pioneer of compressor technology development. At the same time, it has completed one. The preparation of batches of professional textbooks.
