Blue Star Limited announced the launch of a stylish range of airconditioners comprising a wide array of highly energy-efficient as well as eco-friendly split airconditioners for the residential and commercial segments©. Blue Star's new line-up of room airconditioners consists of over 135 models© This stellar range of airconditioners is in line with the new energy standards prescribed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency BEE© Blue Star is amongst the first companies to comply with BEE's voluntary labelling programme for inverter split airconditioners as it has launched 16 models in the 5-star category and 13 variants in the 3­star category as per the new BEE standards© All models have been designed to operate non-stop even at 50oC©. The entire range of star-rated inverter split airconditioners is equipped to function smoothly within a voltage range of 160V ­ 270V without the aid of an external voltage stabiliser© This is of a huge advantage in locations with high voltage fluctuations© 8 of the 16 models of 5-star inverter split airconditioners will be equipped with a ªsmait Wi-Fi feature which enables the customer to operate the machine from any remote place within the Wi-Fi network©.

The inverter compressor varies its speed depending on the ambient load resulting in perfect cooling apart from considerable energy savings© Thus 5-star inverter airconditioners save up to 30% power over the 5-star non-inverter machines© Inverter airconditioners comprise over half the market in countries like China whilst they are only about 10% of the Indian market©.
