Six Samsung fridge fashions bought within the U.S. have been awarded the 2020 ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Every yr, the EPA, by its ENERGY STAR Program, chooses 1 or 2 progressive applied sciences for his or her Emerging Technology Award. This yr the Award acknowledged six Samsung fridge fashions that met three strict efficiency standards: (1) super-efficient compressors; (2) low greenhouse fuel blowing brokers for his or her insulation; and (3) low greenhouse fuel refrigerants.
“This award shows that digital inverter compressor technology can save significant levels of energy in practice,” mentioned Kook-Jeong Seo, Head of the Thermal Energy Lab, Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “Going forward, we will continue to develop products that contribute to reducing energy consumption and support sustainability.”
The digital inverter compressor serves because the ‘engine’ for Samsung’s foremost fridge line-up, and is the element answerable for figuring out how a lot vitality the fridge consumes. Currently, practically all of Samsung’s fridge options incorporate digital inverter compressors. While conventional compressors function at a hard and fast velocity, digital inverter compressors are capable of routinely modify their vitality use between 1,050 and 4,300RPM in keeping with want, at any given time. Samsung digital inverter compressors use round 30% much less vitality than ones with single-speed induction motor compressors, and thus additionally assist contribute to the discount of greenhouse fuel emissions. They have additionally been licensed by German establishment Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE)1 to last as long as greater than twenty years in sturdiness.
The skill of Samsung compressors to intelligently detect adjustments in temperature and modify accordingly has moreover allowed for the emergence of different distinctive options within the firm’s full fridge lineup. Refrigerators from the Samsung Chef Collection, for example, characteristic a singular fixed-temperature know-how known as Precise Chef Cooling that maintains a temperature variation price of lower than 0.5 levels Celsius (0.9 levels Fahrenheit), guaranteeing that meals stays more energizing, for longer.
