Samsung announced the launch of its new DVM S2 Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) outdoor air conditioning unit that works with indoor AC units to provide windfree cooling that powerfully and gently cools the ambient temperature of the room. WindFree™ technology eliminates harsh cold drafts and disperses air through 23,000 micro holes at a speed of 0.15 m/s that helps in creating a still air environment.

Samsung’s new DVM S2 line-up will be available in various capacities ranging from 8 HP to 34 HP in heat pump and cooling only models that are ideal for apartments, residential complex, office spaces and commercial buildings.

“DVM S2’s efficient yet powerful performance is powered by Samsung’s exclusive WindFree™ Cooling technology. This new line-up has been designed to provide our consumers with best-in-class technology and enhanced energy efficiency. To offer smart controls, the new range comes equipped with AI capabilities that learn cooling patterns, maintain right pressure basis external installation environment and detect refrigerant leakage in real time. With this launch we are geared up to offer WindFree™ technology to our consumers in residential complexes as well as commercial spaces,” said Vipin Agrawal, Director, System Air Conditioning Business, Samsung India.

DVM S2, Samsung’s sixth-generation Digital Variable Multi air conditioner, enables connection with up to 64 Samsung indoor air conditioning units for optimal comfort without unpleasant cold drafts and is compatible with Samsung’s 1Way, 360 Cassette, 4Way, 4Way 600×600, Duct and Wall-Mounted models.

AI capabilities for Smarter, Faster Cooling

Thanks to its AI capabilities, DVM S2 detects indoor climate conditions to deliver optimised cooling and heating performance. AI Low Pressure Control learns the patterns of cooling operation and reaches the target temperature more rapidly, ensuring consumers feel at ease at the desired temperature. Meanwhile, AI High Pressure Control maintains the optimal high pressure by making adjustments based on the installed environment. AI Defrost Control provides the best timing for defrost operations, and hence offers increased comfort during heating. In addition, DVM S2’s advanced AI algorithms can detect refrigerant leaks in real-time and send alerts immediately so users can monitor and manage their units quickly without compromising comfort.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency

DVM S2 uses 4 core technology of bigger heat exchanger, new high efficiency fan, upgraded power module and advanced scroll compressor to achieve high energy efficiency. 

Wider Frequency Range for Better WindFree™ Performance

DVM S2 features innovative technologies including a more advanced scroll compressor with Advanced Flash Injection (AFI) technology, an enlarged heat exchanger with optimized refrigerant flow, a multi-serration fan, and an enhanced power module.

The more advanced AFI motor control technology allows for a wider frequency range of 10~180Hz. The new low of 10Hz (compared to the previous model’s 14Hz) making the system more stable at low frequencies, leading to better windfree performance for draft-free, comfortable temperature control. The new high of 180Hz ensures more powerful cooling performance. 

Bigger Heat Exchanger and Multi-Serration Fan

The heat transfer area of the heat exchanger in all the new models is significantly larger. The new unit’s hybrid path is designed to optimize the refrigerant flow corresponding to the airflow profile. Moreover, its unique multi-serration fan minimizes the turbulence of the air vortex, applying different serration, considering the air velocity of the edge and the inside of the blade, respectively. Moreover, the highly efficient Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) reduces the loss of conducted electricity.

DVM S2’s new design is more aerodynamic and allows quieter operation, compared to previous generations. It has a more robust frame and reinforced structure with an upgraded exterior cabinet for reliability. The cooling operating range and external static pressure have been extended for flexibility in design, along with an upgrade on the emergency operation mode. Moreover, DVM S2 also features an on-device inverter check for better maintenance. Advanced technology for refrigerant sub-cooling control and installation condition analysis allowed for a smaller liquid pipe, which provides a 28% reduction in the amount of additional refrigerants used during installation compared to its predecessor.

When no human motion is detected for about 20 minutes, WindFree™ mode gets activated and the set temperature can change to up to 28 degree celcius. But as soon as it detects activity, the previous operation restarts. 

Healthy Living with Samsung ACs

Samsung’s endeavour is to constantly innovate to make products that ensure convenience and health of the customers. With this thought, the new line up of WindFree™ air conditioners come equipped with various filters that provide clean and breathable air.

Samsung WindFree™ ACs come with PM 1.0 filters that help in providing clean and breathable air by catching ultra-fine dust, and sterilizing virus and bacteria. The PM 1.0 filter is washable and reusable, making it extremely cost effective.

The WindFree™ range of air conditioners are also equipped with the Tri Care Filter that filters out harmful bacteria, viruses & allergens efficiently.

The air quality gets monitored through a laser sensor which the users can see through a digital 4- color aurora lighting wherein red indicates very poor, yellow indicates poor, green indicates normal, and blue indicates good air quality. This innovative filter can also self-clean itself through AI Purifying function.

Easy Maintenance and Convenience with Samsung Air Conditioners

With growing preference for contactless services, these air conditioners offer the Freeze Wash feature that removes dirt and 90%** bacteria from the heat exchanger for easy do-it-yourself maintenance at home, reducing the need to call service personnel home.

Samsung WindFree™ ACs also come with Easy Filter+ technology, a self-service option that allows customers to quickly remove and clean filters at home. These filters are located on the top of the air conditioners, and can be simply removed and cleaned. The EasyFilter+ reduces up to 99% of harmful bacteria, additionally capturing big dust, animal hair, fiber and household dust.

TCL has recently launched an innovative AC to promote user health and ensure safety against coronavirus. It is an Ultra-Inverter AC that comes with 3-in-1 filtration technology, including a Vitamin C filter, silver ion, and dust filters to not only eliminate dust and bacteria from the air but also provide a moisturizing effect to the users.

The brand has created this product with a vision to provide users with an additional layer of protection while consumers work remotely, ensuring them a safe and comfortable work environment at home.

Vijay Kumar Mikkilineni, AC Business Head, TCL India said, “The pandemic has pushed most companies to work from home, which wasn’t an easy shift for employers as well as employees. However, with our Vitamin C filter AC, we are looking at providing these people with not only a comfortable and cool WFH setting but also ensuring that they work in a bacteria-free environment with higher productivity.
