Samsung Electronics will unveil its award-winning wind-free wall-mounted air conditioner at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, following the huge success of its floor-standing Wind-Free air conditioner in South Korea.

CES 2017 is a major electronics event running from January 5 to 8 in the US city of Las Vegas.

The AR9500M 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, said a statement from the company.

“Consumers will love the cool, efficient air conditioning capabilities of the AR9500M in their home,” said Byung-Sam Seo, president of home appliances at Samsung Electronics.

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

The AR9500M 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 temperatures in ‘Fast Cooling Mode’ and then automatically switches to ‘Wind-Free Cooling Mode’ creating ‘still air’ once the desired temperature is reached. This approach can also reduce energy consumption by up to 72% compared to Fast Cooling mode.

Using Samsung’s new Digital Inverter 8-Pole with Powerboost technology, the AR9500M’s motor generates fewer torque fluctuations – reducing the overall energy required and shortening the time needed for the compressor to reach its maximum speed (Hertz).

The AR9500M is also Wi-Fi-enabled so it can be controlled from anywhere through Samsung’s 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.

The AR9500M’s 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% larger than previous models – ensure air is cooled and expelled faster, farther and wider, to reach every corner of the room, it stated.
