RIYADH: Carrier Saudi Arabia, a joint venture company between E.A. Juffali & Brothers and Carrier Corp., a unit of United Technologies Corp., has launched G3, the third generation series of window air conditioners in the Kingdom.

The G3 air conditioners are equipped with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 8.2, which will result in a 10 per cent savings in energy when compared with other air conditioners in the market.

The new air conditioner comes with low noise, 4-in-1 filter technology, four-way air distribution and water drip-free system. Powered by the high ambient rotary compressor, the air conditioner is capable of delivering comfortable cooling even when outside temperatures soar to 55 degrees Celsius.

The 4-in-1 filter technology is a powerful anti-pollutant that ensures high indoor air quality (IAQ). According to research in Japan, the filter technology defuses negative ions, which magnetically attracts pollutants such as dust, smog, human and animal dander, smoke and allergens. The newly-formed particles become too heavy to remain in the air and the advanced air-cleansing system filters them with remarkable ease.

"The filter system eliminates bacteria, dust mites, and potentially harmful pollutants and chemicals. It removes bad odours, smoke and domestic smells", said Shahid Malik, division manager-finished goods, Carrier Saudi Arabia.

One of the salient features of the G3 is its water drip-free system that sprays the condensate water on to the condenser coil, improving the performance of the unit. This system can prevent water from dripping in ambient conditions of up to 70 percent relative humidity.
