Among the downsides of living in a tropical country is having to deal with the unpleasant things that come with the warm temperature. You’d often hear people walking under the sun say ang init (it’s so hot) or pawis na ako (I’m sweating). People trying to cool themselves with a folding fan is also a common sight for commuters. Then comes summer bringing with it twofold heat, making most of us dread the season that’s supposed to give energy and joy. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., opens the year with solutions to cool summer.
360 Cassette
What we often see sticking out ceilings of establishments, like restaurants, are bulky cassette-type air-conditioning units. These units adequately cool establishments where they’re installed. However, its blades, where air flows through, causes cold draft or a current of cold air flowing in a single direction. Cold draft hits people sitting in the spot where the AC units’ blades are pointing towards, which may cause discomfort or, if in a restaurant, turn food cold. Samsung’s revolutionary 360 cassette eradicates this issue with its aesthetic, bladeless spherical design. With this design, the unit is capable of omnidirectional or zero angle airflow discharge increasing cooling by 34 percent with minimal loss in air flow, setting a new standard for multi-directional Cassette units.
Each 360 Cassette unit features a stylish panel and intuitive display that allows users to change the air flow depending on preference. Users can choose from three settings including horizontal, vertical, and separate zone control air flow. There’s also an option for a wheel dial remote controller with a dedicated button for comfort cooling. For those in need of superior and clean air, the Samsung Virus doctor kit can also be added to eliminate elements that pollute air.
DVM Chiller
Samsung fuses the strengths of air-source chiller and VRF systems in one high performance, energy-efficient unit. The DVM chiller is an answer to the growing demand for water-source HVAC following the tightening of EU regulations on F-gas levels. This air-cooled chiller offers greater energy efficiency and ease of use in a compact design that is sure to deliver.
Samsung has embedded the world-class BLDC Inverter Scroll Compressor with Flash Injection technology in the DVM Chiller ensuring over 75 percent of heating capacity at -20°C ambient temperature with greater energy efficiency. The Chiller enables users to reduce annual utility costs by 36 percent to 50 percent compared to conventional chillers.
The Samsung DVM Chiller is also capable of delivering powerful heating performance while providing cold water through thermal ice storage with an in-built pressure and temperature sensor, which prevents device breakdown from freeze-bursts.
DVM S 30HP
On the one hand, Samsung engineered the DVM S with cutting-edge innovation for enhanced performance, efficiency, and reliability. Its features include a number of revolutionary technology to boost performance. It comes with a Super Inverter Scroll Compressor with flash injection technology and an optimized bypass valve location to increase heating capacity by 29 percent.
The addition of a hybrid heat exchanger increases the heat exchange area while an optimized refrigerant control delivers greater efficiency (10 percent) and a new oval-shaped diffuser application improves the airflow path and increases the airflow rate by 17 percent. Its 80cc compressor DVM S 30HP enables a 14.3 percent increase in displacement compared to conventional models, while the adoption of an asymmetric algebraic scroll allows for a thicker profile in the center and provides greater suction area.
For greater power, users can combine four modular systems to create 120HP. The single 30HP unit measures less than 1m² and weighs 360kg, significantly reducing installation space. It also has an innovative leak detection system to warrant safety and efficiency. When a leak is detected, the system automatically begins an active pump down process to collect the refrigerant and close all valves to isolate it within the unit.
DVM S Eco 14HP
Rounding out the SAC 2016 is DVM S Eco 14HP. This side discharge VRF air conditioner is engineered to deliver a single outdoor unit solution for apartment and office buildings.
It comes with an innovative asymmetric design that features a robust Inverter Scroll Compressor and corrugate fin, which together, improves heating performance by 20 percent and increases air flow by 10 percent compared to standard side discharge VRF units. The integration of Flash Injection technology on the other hand increases refrigerant flow by 32 percent under cold ambient temperature and extends the heating operation range to -25°C.
Clocking 14HP, it can manage to cool an apartment or office building, in place of multiple costly units. The width of the new DVM S Eco 14HP is less than one meter (940mm), maximizing capacity with a better use of space, while the four-way piping enables convenient installation.
