Samsung air conditioner design takes the triangular route

samsung-triangle-acYou know what they say – don’t reinvent the wheel. How then, do you improve on something that is already more or less perfect? The air conditioner design that just about all of us are used to happens to be rectangular in nature, but the folks over at Samsung have taken a slightly more adventurous route by reimagining it to come in a triangle form factor. This particularly exclusive design and engineering capability allows it to deliver powerful cooling performance and cleaner air quality thanks to built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.

The new Samsung air conditioner is also known as the AR09HSSFAWK where model names are concerned, where its striking triangular design is touted to pave the way for a wider inlet, wider outlet and bigger fans all the while allowing it to maintain a compact exterior profile so that it can enhance the overall air conditioning experience. How is that possible? Well, by thinking out of the box, this special triangular design will be able to deliver improved performance by circulating cool air faster, farther and wider, all the while having Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology deliver significantly greater energy efficiency. Not only that, there is also the presence of “Virus Doctor” and “Easy Filter” features which do their bit by eliminating dust, contaminants, allergens, bacteria and viruses.

The designers of this air conditioner have done their bit to make sure it is exceptionally efficient, where air is cooled and expelled faster (26%), farther (14m meters) and wider (2 x wider), so that it will be able to reach every corner of a room in no time at all. If this particular day is an extremely hot one, fret not. There is the Fast Cool mode that allows this air conditioner to cool any room in a jiffy, before it will automatically change to Comfort Cool mode so that it can maintain the desired temperature. Talk about smart!

Panasonic expands smart home appliance line, adds Android Smart App, cloud services

If a wireless light bulb wasn’t quite the Jetson’s style future you were hoping for, perhaps Panasonic‘s planned expansion of its smart home appliances will better scratch that itch. From next month, there’ll be an Android app to let you remotely operate appliances, view energy savings and program settings via NFC. Hardware-wise, the electronics giant is introducing connected air conditioners, refrigerators, washer-dryers as well as smaller devices such as blood pressure monitors and calorie meters. Along with remote control, there appears to be some supportive cloud-based services too, such as reporting device faults to customer service and generating reports (from the healthcare products). When can you get a taste of the future? September 25th if you live in Orbit City Japan. As for the rest of the world? We’ll just have to be patient.
