Models promise record energy savings, integration with the SmartThings app and sophisticated design, including a black option. Check the details:
Main present technologies
Anyone who owns or has seen an air conditioner Windfree da Samsung you know that this line is known for the way it cools or heats the environment without gusts of wind. Through the 23.000 micro holes distributed on its surface, air comes out of the equipment naturally, almost like a breeze, so as not to disturb the user.
There is also the Fast Cooling Mode which, according to its own Samsung, manages to air-condition environments at a 43% higher speed. This is due to the blade being 31% wider, the fan being 15% larger and the air intake being 18% larger.
The air conditioning filter Windfree manages to eliminate 99,99% of viruses present in the environment where it is installed. There is also a second filter, which is antibacterial and washable to trap up to 99,9% of bacteria.
The technology AutoClean present in it is also interesting: as soon as the Windfree air conditioning is turned off, its internal system starts to carry out an automatic internal cleaning to remove dust and moisture in the heat exchanger. This will keep it clean and dry, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold.
already about the Freeze Wash, this is the process that lowers the internal temperature of the appliance so that 90% of the bacteria are frozen. This can be done by pressing a button on the remote control or via the app. SmartThings, available to Android e iOS.
Another way, the good sleep (sleep well, in free translation), enough to use artificial intelligence during nights of sleep and moments of waking up. Through the analysis of consumer use, temperature monitoring and control is carried out so that everyone in the place has a comfortable night. Temperature and humidity change over the hours from bedtime to waking up.
The models presented today also have support for Google Assistant e Amazon Alexa, allowing control via personal assistants and even smart TV. Anyone who also has this installed on their smartphone can ask for the temperature to be changed
Finally, all models in the line Windfree have a 10-year warranty on the compressor and the Samsung can be called upon at any time to resolve any issues relating to them, at support site.
energy savings
Leonardo M Rocha, assistant to the Board of Conformity Assessment of the INMETRO, was at the event to talk about how 2023 air conditioning models are reinventing the industry with record energy savings. First, he points out that the trend is for this to become even greater over time.
WindFree Pro Energy is the evolution of the line, which is easily the number 1 in energy efficiency. Companies that manufacture grade A air conditioners used to achieve an energy efficiency rating of 6, but the new WindFree Pro Energy raises that level to 9.
Daniel Fraianeli, Air Conditioning Product Manager at Samsung Brazil
A Samsung highlighted the savings that its new device for 2023 can bring to the daily lives of its consumers and, by having Wi-Fi connectivity, it is possible to integrate the appliance into the application SmartThings. Launched in 2022, the module SmartThings Energy it's a section within the application Samsung SmartThings, in which the smart appliances of the Samsung are shown with consumption tables, indicating how much energy they spend in watts and reals.
It is possible to check the daily, weekly, monthly or annual consumption of each product (or all of them together). Owners can also receive tips to reduce energy consumption and a preview of electricity costs can be seen on the smartphone or tablet screen.
Samsung gives consumers the ability to control air conditioning consumption through the SmartThings app. And today, it also becomes the manufacturer of the most economical air conditioning in Brazil.

Best of all, these features are free and the same application can be used to control, view expenses and remotely activate other home appliances in the company. Samsung.
New INMETRO seal
Today's event was focused on showing how the new WindFree Pro Energy enough to change the entire air conditioning market in Brazil. This is because commonly, the maximum energy saving index is 6, but the model presented today by Samsung reached 9.
With the arrival of products with Inverter Ultra technology, which drastically reduce energy consumption, it became necessary to reinvent the INMETRO efficiency classification for the air conditioning category. The bar has been raised and the new label highlights this better.
Leonardo M. Rocha, Assistant to the Board of Conformity Assessment at INMETRO
As we already mentioned here in showmetech, El Niño phenomenon is coming and it is expected that, by 2050, the worldwide electricity consumption related to the use of air conditioners will increase 7 times. To tackle this problem, the Samsung began to develop models that use less and less electricity, without neglecting good performance, as he explained Thiago G Dias Arbulu, head and director of the air conditioning division at Samsung Brazil.
If nothing is done, air conditioning systems will represent 38% of energy consumption in Brazil. Air conditioning has to be efficient, providing comfort while being economical in energy consumption.
