These particles are measured in nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nano particles the capability to overwhelmingly alter the behavior of the material with which it encounters. The nano size permits Ag+ ions to invade the cells of microorganisms. As a result, the cellular metabolism of these microorganisms is affected, inhibiting their growth and survival. Silver Nano Health SystemT M What Makes Silver Nano Air Conditioners Superior? The Silver Nano Health SystemTM is a comprehensive system developed by Samsung that utilizes nano-sized silver ions (a particle 75,000 smaller than the width of a human hair) to safely and effectively kill disease-causing germs, molds, and up to 650 types of bacteria, and prevents them from growing in places that count the most. Just as clothes washed by a filthy washer can never truly be clean, the air you breathe indoors can never truly be safe unless supplied by clean air conditioners and purifiers. Samsung has found a solution in the safety of silver. Thanks to the Silver Nano Health System, bacteria is killed in the filtering process due to the coating of billions of silver nano ions that line the interior of Samsung’s Air Conditioners and Purifiers. Furthermore, the silver nano coating deodorizes as it protects, leaving your room feeling clean and smelling fresh. Through the Silver Nano Health System, Samsung creates a zone of defense, safeguarding your health and well-being. Sense the Security and Safety of Silver. Why is Silver Good for You? Silver is natural, safe, and effective. Used in the health field since ancient times, it is toxic to pathogens yet harmless to the human body, food and fabrics. Through Nano technology, silver has proven itself as an antibiotic with its ability to sterilize over 650 types of bacteria and disease-causing organisms. Historical Uses of Silver - Ancient Egyptians: used silver to keep their food stores free of fungus and mold. - Phoenicians: used silver containers to keep germs from invading its water supply. With the Silver Nano Health SystemTM, you can enjoy more fresh air than ever with peace of mind that you are breathing in healthy air. To deliver fresh, healthy air, it is essential not only to purify the air but also to maintain the cleanliness of the interior of the air conditioner. When left untreated, these molds and bacteria can cause allergic reactions, sickness, and, in extreme cases, death. However, the Silver Nano Health System kills mold and bacteria in the filtering process. We have coated the interior of your air conditioner, from the air cooler to the breeze outlet, with a Silver Nano disinfecting and antimicrobial coating. As these silver nano particles come in contact with germs and bacteria, the respiration of these viruses is stifled, inhibiting their cell growth, causing them to die. By means of our superior Silver Nano technology, even harmful influenza viruses are removed, achieving 99.9% disinfection and providing you with reliable assurance that the cool air you breathe is clean, pure, and healthy. This silver nano coating not only exterminates mold and bacteria, but also deodorizes malodorous air. Pure, fresh air is crucial to your health and Samsung provides it to you. Samsung Air Conditioners applied with more Silver Nano Samsung Air Conditioners are the first and only of its kind to coat both the filter and evaporator with silver-nano coating. Other brands of air conditioners available on the market have either coated the filter OR the evaporator with a silver-nano coating. However, because we have coated BOTH the filter and evaporator with a silver nano disinfecting and antimicrobial coating, we offer double protection.

The competitor adopts the Silver Nano technology to just 1 filter. introduction12/14 2004.12.20 11:38 AM Page 8 Samsung relieves your worries about your air conditioner’s compressor! You made a smart choice. After passing a year of reliability testing with flying colors, Samsung’s air conditioners are ready to keep you cool and comfortable in the Middle East and Africa. Samsung’s new line of innovative air conditioners, operating on the most up-to-date UTR PlusTM compressor, maximize the energy efficiency of your air conditioner up to 10% while diminishing the energy consumption. They are durable, reliable, and powerful. High Efficiency - Energy Saving Thanks to revolutionary technical expertise, Samsung has developed the UTR PlusTM compressor, which has successfully triumphed over all of the problems plaguing compressor cooling operation systems widespread in the air conditioning industries of the Middle East and Africa. With Samsung’s new Ultra Tropical Rotary Compressor (UTR) Plus, with its high torque motor, not only are the powerful yet stylish air conditioners highly energy-efficient and easy to install and maintain, but they are also extremely durable in temperatures of up to o o approximately 60 C / 140 F, allowing consumers of unbearably hot regions to turn on their air conditioners and enjoy cool comfort worry-free, knowing that their air conditioners are strong and dependable. EER: 5~10% Higher than Reciprocating Compressors Therefore, a Samsung air conditioner with its UTR PlusTM compressor has increased energy capacity, more powerful efficiency, with decreased power consumption. Light Weight - Easy Installation & Maintenance Weight: 30% Lighter than Reciprocating Compressors The UTR PlusTM compressor, comprised of innovative and durable yet lightweight materials, allows for stress-free maintenance. Because it is 30% lighter than reciprocating compressors, it is also easier to install. Longer Life * The UTR Plus TM Compressor are applied to the Split Type and Window Type for the Middle East. • Samsung’s newly developed UTR compressor is equipped with a high-torque motor that can operate under heavy loads. The motor has also been redesigned to start up even when the voltage is low. • An overload protector in the motor suppresses internal heat buildup and helps to prevent damage. • Fuzzy logic is applied to maintain the optimal indoor temperature. Thus, the lifetime of the compressor has been greatly extended by specially coating the main parts to suppress wear, using highly durable materials to make the parts, and applying a new welding method. Because the lifetime of the UTR PlusTM compressor has been extended thanks to durable materials and a new welding method, you can enjoy the performance of your air conditioner for an extended length of time. Test Center: Received Certificate of Performance from Univ. of Maryland(USA) Test Condition: 1000 hrs Acceleration Test (Continuous Run) UTR Plus VS Recipro o Ambient Temperature = 54 C Even under extreme temperatures, customers can rely on their air conditioner’s performance to provide powerfully cool air rapidly, allowing them to immediately enjoy the cool comfort of their homes and offices. Certificate received from the Center for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE), University of Maryland, USA. Test results for performance and reliability concluded that Samsung’s UTR PlusTM compressor showed bearing performance and resultant expected field life 80% to 100% better than that of commercially available reciprocating compressors.
