• First inverter window AC cools like a split AC with wide range flash cooling, energy-saving features, and ultra-quiet operation

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Window air conditioner is a mainstay category in households throughout the Middle East. Yet despite ubiquity, these window ACs are noisy, inefficient, inconvenient to operate, and deliver uneven cooling. In response to these challenges, Midea has introduced its new Wonder AC, the first inverter window AC designed specifically for Middle East households.

The Midea Wonder AC is a product that truly fulfills the wishes of consumers in the region. Over 700 local consumers were involved in the design and development of the product. It cools like a split AC, and features wide range flash cooling, energy-saving features, ultra-quiet operation, and smart control.

Exclusively-designed  wide range flash cooling

Traditional window ACs have a small air outlet and a limited cooling range, so it takes longer time to cool down to desired temperature and it cools unevenly. The Midea Wonder AC addresses these pain points with an innovative air outlet design that looks like split AC and is 10% larger than traditional window units, so consumers can enjoy even whole-room coverage and a further cooling distance of up to 9.5 meters. With enlarged rotation angles horizontally & vertically, it cools more than 63% wider than traditional window ACs – 68% of consumers consider it’s the most appealing point from Midea’s research – conveniently cooling every corner of your room.

Moreover, an innovative CoolFlash feature was thoughtfully developed for the Middle East market, and was certified by the TÜV Rheinland. With one press of the CoolFlash button, Midea Wonder AC can cool a room by six degrees centigrade in 10 minutes, allowing users to instantly enjoy cool air 34% faster than traditional window units.*

First inverter window AC saves up to 26% energy

According to consumer research, 63% of consumers were attracted by energy-saving function of a window AC. Midea Wonder AC is the first inverter window AC engineered with T3 compressor technology, which saves up to 26% energy compared to traditional on/off window units. Fully compliant with SASO standards and specifications, the Wonder AC is energy-efficient and cost-effective. *

Four times quieter operations

Unlike other window ACs, the Midea Wonder AC is constructed differently to cut off the humming noise and achieve quiet operations as low as 39dB in low fan mode. Even in high fan mode, the unit remains four times quieter than traditional window units. This whisper-quiet cooling enables users to enjoy an undisturbed sleep, or watch a show without the whirring noise of an AC in the background.*

Easy usage with smart features and value-added accessories

Usually traditional window ACs require manual operation, but Midea Wonder AC is convenient and hassle-free to use. The remote controller and wireless capabilities enable users to change the settings anytime, anywhere using the Midea MSmarthome App, or control the devices through Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Hot summer needs wonder cool! The Midea Wonder AC is now available in the Middle East. Check out Midea for the best and wonderful summer cooling!

Saudi Arabia’s leading mining company signs an MOU to facilitate the study to develop the first solar steam project in the kingdom to decarbonize MA’ADEN’s alumina refinery

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Saudi Arabian Mining Company (MA’ADEN), Saudi Arabia’s national mining champion and one of the fastest-growing mining companies in the world, and GlassPoint, the leader in industrial solar steam, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to develop the world’s largest solar process heat plant at MA’ADEN’s Alumina refinery. When complete, the 1,500 MW solar steam facility will help MA’ADEN achieve sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions by over 600,000 tons annually. This represents more than 50% reduction of carbon footprint in MA’ADEN’s Alumina refinery and 4% of MA’ADEN’s overall carbon footprint.

The MOU was signed at MA’ADEN HQ in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia by Riyadh Al Nassar, senior vice president of MA’ADEN’s aluminum business and Rod MacGregor, CEO and founder of GlassPoint, witnessed by Robert Wilt, CEO of MA’ADEN and Jacob Drejer, CCO of GlassPoint,

Robert Wilt, CEO of MA’ADEN stated: “As the third pillar of the Saudi economy, we aspire to be a role model in ESG in the Kingdom. This significant development will dramatically reduce our carbon footprint and bring us closer to our mandate of carbon neutrality by 2050. As the world moves towards green aluminum, MA’ADEN intends to help lead the way in this transition.”

Riyadh Al Nassar, SVP Aluminum SBU of MA’ADEN stated: “The proposed new facility, a solar thermal plant known as MA’ADEN Solar 1, will be located in Ras al Khair, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and will harness the power of the sun to produce steam. The steam will be used to refine bauxite ore into alumina. Alumina is a critical feedstock to Aluminum, which is one of the world’s most crucial metals for many global industries going into a future that is focused on environment and sustainability.”

“MA’ADEN is leading the way to reduce industrial carbon emissions at scale by replacing fossil fuels with solar power to create heat. This facility when built will be the largest industrial solar steam plant in the world and the first deployed in both Saudi Arabia and in the aluminum supply chain,” said Rod MacGregor, CEO and founder of GlassPoint. “With this MOU, GlassPoint is entering a new phase of growth to help decarbonize a range of industries seeking to lower their carbon footprint.”
