Samsung Electronics on Monday announced the large-scale deployment of its integrated residential cooling systems at Central Park Flower Valley's The Orchard in Gurugram, marking one of the most extensive installations of its kind in India's premium housing segment.

The project covers 284 luxury residences with a total installed capacity of 4,864 horsepower, combining Samsung's WindFree cassette air conditioners, PM1.0 air purification panels and SmartThings Wi-Fi connectivity, all backed by the company's DVM S2 VRF outdoor units.

The DVM S2 system uses AI-based pressure control to dynamically adjust refrigerant pressure by up to 32 per cent, which Samsung claims can cut energy consumption by up to 15 per cent under specific test conditions. A separate AI module monitors refrigerant levels in real time and flags anomalies to service engineers before failures occur.

The WindFree units disperse cooled air through 10,000 micro holes rather than a direct vent, reducing airflow speed to limit the cold-draft discomfort that prolonged AC exposure can cause. The optional PM1.0 filter panel uses a two-stage system — a pre-filter for coarse particles and an electrostatic precipitator filter rated to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, with Intertek-verified sterilisation of up to 99 per cent of trapped bacteria.

SmartThings integration allows residents to control units remotely via smartphone, set geo-fencing automations and monitor energy usage. The platform is also compatible with Bixby and third-party voice assistants.

Vipin Agrawal, Head of SAC Business at Samsung India, said the deployment is designed to address rising urban concerns around heat and air quality, positioning it as a blueprint for future residential projects.

The company said the Orchard deployment is intended to demonstrate how large residential developments can adopt wellness-focused and energy-efficient climate systems at scale.
