Samsung has unveiled the world’s first 'Wind-Free' wall-mounted air-conditioner, designed for Saudi climate at the ongoing HVACR Expo Saudi in Jeddah.

The three-day HVACR Expo Saudi, the kingdom's largest dedicated indoor climate and refrigeration event, concludes tomorrow (January 16).

Samsung's air-conditioner has integrated it exclusive Wind-Free Cooling technology into its design, providing customers with a cooler indoor climate, and optimal energy efficiency, without the discomfort of direct cold airflow.

“Consumers will love the cool, efficient air-conditioning capabilities of the Wind-Free air-conditioner in their living and working spaces,” remarked Ismail Yoon, the managing director at Samsung Gulf Electronics Saudi Arabia.

“And they will really love that they no longer have to deal with uncomfortable, cold air, as well as reduced electricity bills,” he added.

The Wind-Free air-conditioner provides customers with the ideal condition by maintaining the comfortable room temperature, using Wind-Free cooling to gently disperse cold air through 21,000 micro air holes.

“A two-step cooling system which first lowers temperature in “Fast Cooling Mode” and then automatically switches to “Wind-Free Cooling Mode” creating “still air” once the desired temperature is reached,” explained Saher Hilal, the head of air-conditioning at Samsung Saudi Arabia.

This approach can also reduce energy consumption by up to 72 per cent compared to Fast Cooling mode, he noted.

The Samsung AC is also wi-fi-enabled so it can be controlled from anywhere through its Smart Home app. Users can remotely regulate temperature, adjust settings, receive real time updates about performance and daily energy usage, as well as troubleshoot solutions when a repair is needed, stated Hilal.

The Wind-Free air-conditioner unique Triangle Architecture has a wider inlet which allows more air to be drawn in at once, while the optimal width and angle of the outlet, extra v-blades, and large fan – 22 per cent larger than previous models – ensure air is cooled and expelled faster, farther and wider, to reach every corner of the room, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
