Summary

Hitachi has released 2.8 kW and 3.7 kW cooling-only inverter air conditioners featuring sleep support function in Southeast Asia, where the demand for room air conditioners for home use is accelerating, due to economic growth. In Southeast Asia, a high percentage of room air conditioners are used in the bedroom. Hitachi developed these products by narrowing down the focus to actual consumer needs, such as a sensor on the air conditioner to detect human movement in a dark room in order to automatically detect when users are sleeping so that the temperature setting can be automatically controlled after users fall asleep. The air conditioner also features a cross-flow fan with undulating blades to reduce the wind noise of the cross-flow fan. Although Hitachi has already been working to improve energy-saving performance (as energy conservation regulations are being strengthened in various Southeast Asian countries), Hitachi is now focusing its development efforts even further, including an indoor unit with improved blowing efficiency, a high-efficiency compressor, and other developments.
