Panasonic introduces world’s 1st tropical inverter air conditioners designed to meet region’s challenging climatic conditions

Panasonic has introduced the world’s first tropical inverter air conditioners which are designed to specifically meet the climatic challenges of the Middle East, it was announced today.
The new range of air conditioners comes with the Smart Inverter Compressor, which are powerful, fast and extremely energy efficient. With searing temperatures in the region, the new technology has made it possible for an 18000 Btu air conditioner to reach up to 22000 Btu, and a 24000 Btu model to reach up to 27000 Btu, based on the requirements resulting in faster cooling. Furthermore, the new technology precisely manages the speed of the compressor, resulting in up to 30% less energy consumption compared to a non inverter model.
The existing ECONAVI feature has also been upgraded with the addition of the Sunlight Detection system, which will help the AC control its cooling based on ambient light conditions .In addition to the ECONAVI and Intelligent Inverter features, the Deluxe Non-Inverter models also come with the new nanoe-G air purifying system that utilize ions and radicals to purify the air in the room. It works effectively on airborne impurities and fabric, ensuring a cleaner living environment.
“In keeping with our goal of becoming the No.1 Green Innovation Company in the electronics industry by 2018, these new models will not only add to the comfort of our consumers, but will also help reduce power consumption and further empower individuals to save energy easily and contribute to the environment,” said Nuri Hero Ohara.

He went on to say: “We are confident that this power-saving, eco-friendly air conditioning product will significantly appeal to Middle East consumers who share Panasonic’s ambition to realize a green and sustainable future for the countries in the region."
Adding his comments, Majed Majbour, Alesayi Electronics Executive Manager, said: “Thanks to the innovative technologies and superior quality of Panasonic products combined with Alesayi Electronic’s in-depth knowledge of the Saudi market and the needs of our customers, we are winning increased market share and seeing strong growth of the Panasonic brand. The success of our partnership is the basis of our 2012 network expansion program which includes the opening of more Panasonic Alesayi showrooms and new eco friendly Panasonic Customer Care Centers to bring us even closer to our loyal customers.”
Intelligent Inverter Technology:
These new air conditioners run on minimal power with precise temperature control. By reducing wasteful cooling operation, Inverter Series can achieve up to 30% less energy usage compared to the non-inverter units. In addition to energy savings, the Intelligent Inverter Technology also delivers constant comfort with wide power output range and quick cooling during the start up period.
Inverter control in the desert climate is now possible thanks to unique, innovative technologies. The result is a new dimension in air conditioning that lets users enjoys more powerful cooling than ever, a stable room temperature, and outstanding energy saving performance.
Cooling is possible even when the outside temperature is 55ºC since the new models feature a highly durable compressor and fan motor to maintain room comfort even under the hottest conditions. A tightly sealed electrical component box prevents fine sand particles from getting in and protects the high-precision inverter circuit. And an original Auto-Cooling System prevents the temperature inside the box from rising due to heat generated by the circuit board.
ECONAVI Room Air-Conditioners:
New ECONAVI with Sunlight Detection monitors changes in sunlight intensity in the room to reduce the waste of cooling under less sunlit conditions. As weather conditions change from sunny to cloudy or night, ECONAVI detects less sunlight intensity and determines less cooling power is required. If cooling power remains the same, then energy will be wasted. ECONAVI detects this waste and accordingly reduces cooling power by an amount equivalent to increasing the set temperature
The revolutionary Panasonic ECONAVI utilizes high-precision Human Sensor and Control Program technologies to optimize air-conditioner operation according to room conditions. These technologies help detect unnecessary waste of energy. At the same time, the air conditioner will also self-adjust the cooling capacity while maintaining uninterrupted cooling, comfort and convenience. Furthermore the new range of air conditioners offer higher energy savings of up to 30% while maintaining uninterrupted cooling, comfort and convenience.
