The Samsung Wind-Free aircon disperses air through 21,000 micro holes to keep you cool
The first wall-mounted Wind-Free air conditioner from Samsung, the AR9500M generates slow-moving cool air through its 21,000 micro air holes, providing comfort to users while cutting down on power consumption. And it can be controlled via Samsung's Smart Home app.

Samsung Wind-Free AR9500M
From the kitchen to the laundry area, Samsung is extending the benefits of having a smart appliance to the entire home with the AR9500M, its first Wind-Free wall-mounted air conditioner.
Controllable using the Samsung Smart Home app, the IoT-enabled AR9500M is called Wind-Free because its slow-moving cool air (0.15mps) is dispersed through 21,000 micro air holes. This results in a much pleasing cooling experience as users will not feel the cold air directly blowing on them. With automatic mode adjustment when the desired temperature is reached, the aircon also touts lower power consumption (up to 72%).
Yong Sung Jeon, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania welcoming the attendees of this year's Forum where the Wind-Free AR9500M was introduced.
Another factor that contributes to the energy efficiency of the AR9500M is its use of Samsung’s Digital Inverter 8-Pole, in which an 8-pole motor consisting of eight magnets (instead of the usual four) generates fewer torque fluctuations so less energy is consumed. This mechanism works with Samsung’s POWERboost technology which shortens the time for a compressor to reach the maximum Hertz.
Design-wise, the AR9500M adopts Samsung’s Triangle Architecture which was previously seen in air conditioning units that were introduced in the SEA Forum 2014. This design gives the unit a wider inlet so more air can be drawn in at once. The new model also includes an Ultra Wide PM2.5 Filter that captures 99% of ultrafine contaminants and microbes in the air. Inside the AR9500M, an electrostatic charge is released, attracting positively charged particles to the negatively charged alloy plate.
