Samsung Unveils New Refrigerators with AI-Powered Compressor
August 12, 2024 – Samsung Electronics has announced the release of its latest Bespoke Refrigerators, featuring a groundbreaking AI Inverter Compressor with AI Energy Mode. This innovative technology enhances energy efficiency and reduces noise levels through intelligent load regulation.
Unlike conventional refrigerators, which operate with a fixed-speed compressor, the AI Inverter Compressor automatically adjusts its motor speed based on the surrounding temperature, refrigerator mode, and changes caused by door openings. This responsive behavior ensures optimal cooling while minimizing energy consumption.
The AI Inverter Compressor boasts an efficiency rate exceeding 95%, a remarkable achievement in the home appliance industry. Additionally, compared to previous models, energy efficiency in the typical operating range has increased by over 10%.
Complementing the advanced compressor is the SmartThings app, which further contributes to energy savings by an additional 10%. This seamless integration allows users to remotely monitor and control refrigerator settings.
“The AI Inverter Compressor features four times the inertia of a conventional compressor, resulting in exceptional stability and quiet operation,” said Dae Il Kwon, Head of Compressor R&D Lab at Samsung Electronics’ Digital Appliances Business. “The noise level is less than 35 dB/A5 under normal conditions, comparable to the peaceful ambiance of a quiet reading room at night.”
Samsung’s commitment to innovation extends beyond hardware. The company has been refining its refrigerator technology for over 25 years, consistently improving internal components like motors, ball bearings, pistons, and valves.
The company stands behind its advancements with a generous 20-year warranty covering internal motor repairs and replacements.
