Discover the advantages of Samsung's WindFree air conditioning in everyday life

Summer is coming to an end, but the highest temperatures continue to occur, especially in regions that are warm all year round, such as the North and Northeast. And to provide the necessary thermal comfort, the air conditioning line Windfree da Samsung features resources that will bring greater comfort, convenience and energy savings to the consumer's home.

Whether in cool mode or warm mode (on compatible models), the air conditioner Windfree Its main characteristic is that it is a “windless” model, promising more homogeneous cooling and no noise in the environment. Now let's get to know the resources that the Samsung offers for the best use of air conditioning on a daily basis.

WindFree Technology

The technology that gives its name to this line of air conditioning Samsung has as a starting point a device that does not make wind. Curious, huh? To function, the model blows cold air at low speed through thousands of micro holes in its cabinet, avoiding sudden changes in temperature from gusts of wind in conventional air conditioning units. The device is ideal for any season.

O Samsung WindFree has the classic ventilation flap, which is used in the function Fast Cooling, when we need the environment to cool quickly — the company claims that this model manages to cool the environment in 43% less time than conventional devices. After reaching the programmed temperature, the air conditioner closes the flap and directs the cold air flow to the micro holes, resulting in a quieter and more homogeneous operation.

quality sleep

Those who have air-conditioning in their rooms can try to set the best temperature at bedtime, and it is very common for users to go to sleep at a comfortable temperature and wake up cold at night. According to research, body temperature decreases throughout the night, so it makes sense to change the air temperature as sleep time passes.

For this, the Samsung offers the mode good sleep, which controls and adjusts temperature and humidity throughout the night, ensuring thermal comfort and lower noise. The way good sleep It has three operating stages:

• Fall sleep: the first stage — which lasts up to one hour — aims to facilitate the user's onset of sleep, reducing the temperature by between 1 and 2°C of the established temperature;
• Deep sleep: the WindFree air conditioner will raise the temperature by 1 to 2°C from the set temperature, to follow the increase in the user's body temperature. The stage can last between 2 and 7 hours, and can be configured according to the user;
• Wake up: the device starts releasing an intermittent flow of air, so you feel refreshed when you wake up. The temperature will be increased by 3°C from the set temperature, and will fluctuate in this range.

The low noise level of just 16 decibels helps to provide better quality sleep. Samsung also claims that the mode good sleep provides up to 36% energy savings compared to conventional cooling.

Air quality present in WindFree air conditioning

Air conditioning is not restricted to just cooling or heating, it also includes filtering to maintain high levels of health in environments. With that in mind, Samsung has included in the line Windfree a highly efficient filtering system, which fights up to 99% of flu viruses (including H1N1), in addition to promoting the reduction of other microorganisms such as bacteria, mites and fungi, according to a test carried out by the Department of Microbiology at the University of São Paulo (USP).

Another resource intended to maintain good air quality in the environment is the AutoClean, which works in two ways:

• Removing the moisture that is contained inside the air conditioning evaporator, thus avoiding an environment conducive to the creation and proliferation of microorganisms, such as molds and bacteria;
• Eliminating dust that accumulates internally in the air conditioning unit.

In addition to the reduction in energy consumption during operation (which adjusts the compressor speed according to air cooling demand, providing up to 77% reduction in consumption), the extended warranty proves the company's commitment to quality, avoiding corrective maintenance on compressors.

Already in the app SmartThings, the resource Energy will monitor the energy consumption not only of your compatible air conditioner, but also of other appliances such as a refrigerator, washing machine, robot vacuum cleaner and other compatible products.
