Samsung Gulf Electronics is poised to make a dramatic impact in the Oman air conditioner (AC) market with the launch of the AR4000K Triple Inverter AC and the AR9500M, its first wall-mounted Wind-Free air conditioner.

Featuring an innovative cooling system designed to simultaneously conserve energy and deliver comfort, the lineup was unveiled at Sheraton Hotel, Muscat recently in association with Sarco – the authorised distributor for Samsung Air Conditioners in Oman.

“Samsung is a leader in innovation and will bring in the best products to the customers. The new Samsung models with triple inverter technology have been custom manufactured, especially keeping in mind the demands of the region and will usher in new levels of comfort for customers,” said Ajay Ganti, CEO, Sarco.

“At Samsung, we are committed to continuously evolving our technologies to offer the best products and user experience possible to our customers,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Digital Appliances at Samsung Gulf Electronics. “Long-lasting cooling performance is one of the primary parameters for consumers while making purchasing decisions for air conditioners. Our latest offering with Triple Inverter technology and Wind-Free cooling makes us one of the most energy efficient and durable brands in the industry, bringing new levels of comfort to home climate control.”

Vidya Shanker, General Manager at Sarco, said, “Our new partnership with Samsung will enable us to offer new value to our customers with unique Samsung air conditioners featuring Inverter technology and Wind-Free Cooling focused on durability, offering 3 years warranty on the full unit. This is a step forward in becoming a one-stop provider of a complete range of air conditioning solutions, as well as solidifying our business foundation in Oman.”

The World’s First Wind-Free Technology

Samsung’s AR9500M sets itself apart by producing no direct air drafts, keeping the room temperature comfortable thanks to Wind-Free technology. This unique technology gently spreads cool air through 21,000 micro air holes and creates ‘still air’ moving at speeds slower than 0.15m/s.

Wind-Free cooling technology introduces a two-step cooling process, reducing temperature in Fast Cooling Mode before switching to Wind-Free Mode, which maintains the desired temperature while minimising drafts. In Wind-Free Mode, energy consumption is reduced by up to 72% compared to Fast Cooling Mode. Furthermore, using the Samsung Digital Inverter 8-Pole with POWERboost Technology, the AR9500M takes less time to reach its desired speed.

The AR9500M’s unique Triangle Architecture also contributes to its superior cooling performance. The upgraded structure’s wider inlet allows for more air to be drawn in at once, while the optimal width and angle of the outlet, extra v-blades and large fan – which is 22% larger than in previous models – ensure that air is cooled and expelled faster, farther and wider to reach every corner of the room.

The Wi-Fi enabled AR9500M allows temperature and product settings to be adjusted remotely via the Samsung Connect application. The application offers users real-time updates on performance and power consumption, and it can identify problems in need of repair.

 Compressor powered by Triple Inverter Technology

The new AR4000K AC with Triple Inverter Technology has been designed carefully keeping in mind the consumers’ needs and expectations, which are faster cooling, less electricity consumption and uncompromised cooling even in hot summers. Further enhancing the comfort, the latest ACs will come with ‘Convertible Mode’ that lets a consumer change the cooling capacity basis the number of people present in the room.

Triple Inverter Technology is powered by Advanced Digital Inverter 8-Pole Motor, which ensures more energy efficiency and even lesser electricity consumption. The Power Boost technology in the new series produces less torque fluctuations, which ensures more effective and efficient operation with less vibration and noise.

Convertible Mode is one of Samsung’s latest technologies, which when activated allows consumers to save more energy when they are sitting alone in a room. Convertible mode uses less compressor capacity and thus, further minimizes power consumption. The AC units catering to different lifestyles of consumers are available across Oman with leading retailers with prices ranging from RO249 and RO377.
