Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 25 January 2018: Samsung Saudi Arabia has unveiled its trademarked Wind-Free wall-mounted air-conditioner, designed for climatic conditions in the Kingdom, the company said through a Press communiqué, adding that the technology is the first of its kind in the world.

According to the communiqué, the air conditioner has integrated Samsung’s 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,” said Ismail Yoon, Managing Director, Samsung Gulf Electronics KSA Branch. “And they will really love that they no longer have to deal with uncomfortable, cold air.” An additional benefit is reduced electricity bills,” Yoon added.

According to the communiqué, the Wind-Free provides customers with the ideal condition by maintaining a comfortable room temperature, using the wind-free technology 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, creates still air, once the desired temperature is reached, the communiqué said. The approach can also reduce energy consumption by up to 72% compared to operating in fast-cooling mode, the communiqué added.

The Wind Free uses Samsung’s new Digital Inverter 8-Pole with POWERboost technology, the result of which is that the compressor’s motor generates fewer torque fluctuations – reducing the overall energy required and shortening the time needed for the compressor to reach its maximum rotation speed, the communiqué said.

According to the communiqué, the Wind-Free is also Wi-Fi-enabled, so it can be controlled from anywhere through what the communiqué described as Samsung’s Smart Home app. Users can remotely regulate temperature, adjust settings, receive real-time updates about performance and daily energy usage and troubleshoot solutions when a repair is needed.

The Wind-Free is available with what the communiqué described as Samsung’s unique Triangle Architecture, which has a wider inlet, allowing more air flow than others. The optimal width and angle of the outlet, extra v-blades and large fan – 22% larger than previous models – ensure air is cooled and expelled faster, farther and wider, to reach every corner of the room, the communiqué said.

Meanwhile, Samsung Gulf Electronics has unveiled the world’s first Wind-Free one-way and four-way cassette air-conditioners, using the company’s exclusive Wind-Free cooling technology in its design, the communiqué said. The initiative of unveiling the product, the communiqué added, offers the commercial construction market and business partners reliable air solutions that exceed expectations.
