DUBAI - Samsung Electronics yesterday announced that the Centre for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE) based in the US has tested its UTR compressor's performance and determined that it achieved an energy efficiency ratio at least 10 per cent higher than that of conventional reciprocating compressors. The company's new UTR technology is durable enough to withstand all weather conditions.
"Samsung has leveraged its digital technology to develop a new concept of air conditioners with UTR (Ultra tropical) technology after passing a year of clinical trials and certifications from leading agencies. The company conducted a comprehensive study of the Middle East air conditioners market, and observed that none of the available products were capable of dealing with the region's extreme heat," said Keun Sang Yoo, Senior Manager, Home Appliance Division.
Leading air conditioner inspection agencies have acclaimed Samsung for its ability to produce effective air conditioning systems in the Middle East. According to Radhi Al Asafra, Chief Engineer of Air Conditioning Technology Center, a leading Saudi-based inspection agency approved by Electrical Testing Labs (ETL) Saudi Arabia for authorised SASO (Saudi Arabia Standards Organisation) certification, "Samsung's air conditioner has power beyond what is normally expected. Our test results clearly prove that Samsung's technological expertise has successfully overcome all the problems plaguing compressor cooling operation systems prevailing in the region's air conditioning industry."
"Based on our analysis, we subsequently made it a priority to develop the ideal air conditioner for the Middle East. With over a year of reliability testing, we have introduced UTR compressor-based air conditioners that are capable of operating in temperatures of 55 degrees C and higher."
