[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Samsung Electronics unveiled its 2020 model 'Wind-Free Air Conditioner' and air purifier 'Wind-Free Cube' for the first time on the 15th at the 'Samsung Electronics Seoul R&D Campus' located in Umyeon-dong, Seoul.

The new air conditioner and air purifier feature the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology, making them smarter and more convenient, which is their biggest characteristic.

The 2020 Wind-Free Air Conditioner Gallery and Wall-mounted Wide models unveiled that day have newly added the Easy Care function. The Wind-Free Air Conditioner with Easy Care function is designed so that the entire front panel can be easily removed without any tools. This allows consumers to directly manage even the internal fan blades.

A new function that freezes the heat exchanger before cleaning has also been applied. It is also equipped with a three-step automatic cleaning and drying function that thoroughly removes remaining moisture every time the air conditioner is turned off.

Samsung's AI system Bixby voice recognition function has been expanded this year not only to the standing type but also to the wall-mounted type, allowing users to easily control the product by voice commands anywhere in the room or living room.

In addition, reflecting consumers' demands to install air conditioners in every room, the Home Multi model, which allows one outdoor unit to connect to one standing type and two wall-mounted air conditioners, has also been expanded.

◆Powerful cooling and large-capacity purification as standard, with more diverse designs= The Samsung Wind-Free Air Conditioner Gallery has upgraded the art panel at the bottom of the product, allowing consumers to choose the exterior color to match their taste and interior.

Consumers can freely select from nine types of art panels for the brown and gray main body colors, and especially a new color with a luxurious herringbone pattern has been introduced.

In addition, the Wind-Free Air Conditioner Gallery features Wide Wind-Free Cooling that delivers richer cool air, Circulator Rapid Cooling that spreads cool air farther, large-capacity fine purification with a triple filter system including an e-HEPA filter that quickly purifies large spaces, and various AI functions through Bixby and SmartThings.

The Samsung Wind-Free Air Conditioner Wall-mounted Wide model has expanded the Wide Wind-Free Cooling, previously applied to standing models, to wall-mounted products so that powerful and comfortable cooling unique to Wind-Free Air Conditioners can be experienced in every room.

The wall-mounted model with Wide Wind-Free Cooling releases richer cool air through 21,630 micro holes on the Wind-Free panel, which is 11% larger than before, allowing users to feel comfortable without direct wind even during heat waves.

The new product applies a fan approximately 12% larger in size, cooling the entire room faster. It boasts the fastest cooling speed among wall-mounted air conditioners with the same cooling area, reducing the room temperature from 33 degrees to 25 degrees in about 15 minutes.

Although the newly applied fan is larger, the product's exterior width has been reduced by about 5 cm, achieving a slim design that completes a more harmonious interior.

Also, voice recognition and motion sensors based on Bixby, previously only applied to the Wind-Free Air Conditioner Gallery, have been newly added, making it smarter.

The motion sensor function controls the product based on the user's presence, enabling energy-saving effects, and it can implement all AI functions applied to the Wind-Free Air Conditioner Gallery, making it more convenient.

◆2020 Wind-Free Cube Air Purifier, featuring Wind-Free purification and cube design= Samsung Electronics' 2020 premium air purifier Wind-Free Cube is equipped with a 99.999% ultra-fine dust collection filter. The product features Wind-Free purification that minimizes direct wind and noise, and a cube design that allows free separation and combination.

The 2020 Wind-Free Cube has strengthened the filter system, achieving a dust collection efficiency of 99.999% with the filter alone, without any additional devices using electrical properties like the previous Filter Saver, and also doubling the filter lifespan.

Samsung Electronics has greatly enhanced user convenience by adding customized purification functions through SmartThings and AI technology.

Newly applied features include AI purification that suggests product operation based on indoor air quality, Welcome Care that performs purification before the user arrives home using location-based technology, and Smart Mode that automatically adjusts airflow and modes by detecting indoor air quality and brightness, allowing convenient use without complicated operations.

Jae-hwan Lee, Executive Director of Samsung Electronics' Home Appliance Business Division, said, "Since the first launch in 2016, Samsung Wind-Free Air Conditioners have evolved not only in cooling performance but also in purification functions and design, establishing themselves as essential home appliances for all seasons. We will contribute to making living environments more comfortable with the new products introduced this year."
