[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] LG Electronics launched the Whisen ThinQ air conditioner ‘Dual Special Plus’ equipped with a 4-step clean management function in the domestic market on the 7th.

LG Electronics introduced the ‘Dual Special Plus,’ which applies the 4-step clean management function and the Wedding Snow (matte white) color to the popular model ‘Dual Special.’ The new product is a model commemorating the 20th anniversary of the launch of the ‘LG Whisen’ brand.

The premium 4-step clean management function was first introduced with the LG Signature air conditioner launched last year and has been applied to high-end models such as the Dual Luxury series and Dual Premium series this year. LG Electronics expanded this feature to popular models due to strong customer response to the 4-step clean management.

The 4-step clean management keeps the ‘path of the passing air’ more comfortable by using the Filter Cleanbot, air purification performance officially certified by the Korea Air Cleaning Association (CAC), automatic heat exchanger drying, and ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) fan sterilization.

The Filter Cleanbot (step 1) automatically cleans the air conditioner's fine filter once a week when used for 8 hours a day. Users only need to empty the dust container once every six months.

The air purification performance (step 2) removes ultrafine dust particles of 0.3 micrometers (㎛) in size through the air purification filter, keeping the air clean.

The automatic heat exchanger drying (step 3) function dries the inside of the air conditioner automatically to remove internal moisture when cooling operation stops. The drying time can be set to 10, 30, or 60 minutes.

The final step is UV LED fan sterilization (step 4). LG Electronics applied the ‘UV Nano function,’ which sterilizes the blower fan that generates airflow inside the air conditioner using UV LEDs. UV Nano is a compound word of UV LED and nanometer, the wavelength unit of ultraviolet rays.

LG Electronics requested verification of the UV Nano function under its experimental conditions from the German certification body TUV Rheinland and confirmed test results showing that the UV Nano function sterilizes 99.9% of harmful bacteria.

The new product also features Wedding Snow, a matte and white color that gives a luxurious feel. The price of the new product is 3.6 million KRW based on the shipment price of the 2 in 1 model.

Lee Gam-gyu, Vice President and Head of the Air Solution Business Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, emphasized, “Customer interest in air conditioner management is increasing,” and added, “We will continue to lead the domestic air conditioner market with the premium 4-step clean management function.”
