360 Cassette: Samsung’s innovative air conditioner brings comfort

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. participated in the HVACR Expo that took place in Jeddah this week.
During the event, Saher Hilal, head of department at Samsung, spoke about the all-new 360 Cassette, which aims to improve the conventional air conditioner experience, through new technologies.
Samsung utilized the fundamentals of wind-powered turbines in its all-new air conditioners. However, to adopt the wind powered turbine’s airflow control principle and make full use of this sub airflow, a more active and efficient method to control the flows was needed. Samsung overcame these technological limitations with a negative pressure method using a booster fan. In order to change the direction of the airflow, a pressure difference has to be built up around the airflow. The existing method of adding wind required using a sub airflow that equals over 100 percent of the main airflow, but with the booster fan, airflow direction has been controlled with just 5 percent of the main airflow.
Hilal said: “The purpose of our invention is to direct the air conditioners’ wind to the ceiling as people get annoyed with cool air hitting them directly. In conventional air conditioners, if blades were set toward the ceiling, the outlet closes. Moreover, in spaces that need even airflow, the conventional 4-way cassette cannot cool all the surrounding spaces. Some people would be cold, and others hot, due to the uneven airflow.”
“We are proud of our several achievements and accomplishments in the past years. During our continuous journey toward success, we always aim to introduce the latest technologies to the market to achieve highest levels of satisfaction and bring people more comfort. Therefore, we wanted to take on this challenge and solve another technology problem in this industry,” Hilal added.
The beautiful circular exposed panel, and the four-sided modern embedded panel that has two different designs enable the 360 Cassette to easily blend with the décor of a variety of modern spaces, including offices, meeting rooms, restaurants, and even high-end villas. It has an elegant finishing touch that satisfies the customer’s lifestyle and needs.
