How Samsung’s Digital Inverter Compressors Help Consumers Save Energy
6/29/2020
Six Samsung refrigerator models sold in the U.S. have been awarded the 2020 ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Every year, through its ENERGY STAR Program, the EPA chooses 1 or 2 innovative technologies for its Emerging Technology Award. This year the Award recognized six Samsung refrigerator models that met three strict performance criteria:
- super-efficient compressors
- low greenhouse gas blowing agents for their insulation
- low greenhouse gas refrigerants.
“This award shows that digital inverter compressor technology can save significant levels of energy in practice,” said 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.”
