The company is launching three variants: 360-degree Water-cooled Cassette (6.0 kW~10.0 kW), 4-way Cassette (6.0 kW~10.0 kW) and 360-degree Water-cooled Cassette (6.0 kW~10.0 kW) in the indoor water-cooled chiller category.

They feature Wind-Free and 360-degree Bladeless technology in a water-cooled cassette chassis, providing excellent cooling without the discomfort of direct cooling air flowing towards the user.

WindFree cooling technology gently distributes cool air through 15,000 micro air holes at a wind speed of 0.15 m/s. Additionally, the advanced airflow system cools rooms faster while operating quietly, generating only 24 dB(A) of sound at the lowest level, similar to a whisper, making it ideal for bedrooms, offices and children’s rooms.

The new WindFree fan-air conditioning units are connected to the central water cooling system via water pipes and appropriate valves.

These Hydronic Fan Coil Units circulate hot or cold water through coils to heat or cool large spaces. These units can be used with Samsung Air-cooled Chillers or any other brand of air-cooled or water-cooled chillers.

The novelty has an innovative circular design that distributes air evenly in all directions without cold drafts. Without blades blocking the airflow, it throws up to 25 percent more air and spreads it further.

It offers excellent cooling performance thanks to its large blade design that directs air precisely to selected points, preventing air dispersion. The price of new Samsung air conditioners starts from Rs 35,000 for the smallest capacity unit.
