LG Electronics Wins 'Energy Winner of the Year' Award... Industry's Most Awards for 4 Consecutive Years

8 Main Awards Including Commercial Single Heating and Cooling Units
Many Honors for Refrigerators, Dryers, Water Purifiers, and More

LG Electronics' commercial single heating and cooling system won the 'Energy Award and Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award.'

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics won a total of eight main awards, including two grand prizes, at the ‘23rd Energy Winner Awards’ jointly hosted by the Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. This marks the fourth consecutive year LG Electronics has received the most awards in the industry.

On the 10th, LG Electronics announced that its commercial single heating and cooling system won the ‘Energy Grand Prize and Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award,’ and its high-output bifacial solar module won the ‘Energy Grand Prize.’ The commercial single heating and cooling system applied proprietary ‘evaporator liquid separation’ technology and ‘vapor injection’ technology, improving cooling efficiency by up to 20% and heating efficiency by up to 37% compared to its previous models.

The ‘evaporator liquid separation’ technology separates liquid refrigerant and gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator, which converts refrigerant into gas, enhancing heating performance. This technology maximizes air conditioner efficiency by compressing the vaporized refrigerant one more time.

The high-output bifacial solar module is a high-efficiency product that applies Cello technology, which electrically connects solar cells with 12 thin wires. It is designed to generate power from both sides, producing more electricity than conventional modules. The product warranty period is 25 years.

In addition, LG Electronics received main awards for ▲ Tromm WashTower ▲ Whisen Inverter Dehumidifier ▲ DIOS Double Door Ice Water Purifier Refrigerator ▲ DIOS Knock-On Magic Space ▲ PuriCare Up-Down-Left-Right Water Purifier ▲ Tromm Washing Machine ThinQ.

The Tromm WashTower is an integrated product combining a washing machine and a dryer. Both the washing machine at the bottom and the dryer at the top have the highest energy efficiency rating of Grade 1 based on the standard course. The ‘Speed Wash Course,’ which washes and dries a small amount of daily clothes in one hour, and the ‘One Shirt Course,’ which completes washing and drying in 35 minutes, not only save time but also reduce energy consumption.

The Whisen Inverter Dehumidifier enhances dehumidification performance with advanced dual inverter technology. According to the efficiency rating system registered by the Korea Energy Agency, both the 16-liter and 20-liter models have the highest energy efficiency among dehumidifiers of the same liter capacity.

The DIOS Knock-On Magic Space is a product that applies the ‘Knock-On’ function to the new concept storage space called ‘Magic Space.’ When customers knock on the front door of the Magic Space, they can easily check the type and quantity of stored food. This reduces the frequency of opening and closing the door, decreasing refrigerator cold air leakage by up to 47%.

The DIOS Double Door Ice Water Purifier Refrigerator combines an ice water purifier and a refrigerator, saving up to 27% more energy compared to using them separately.

Both the DIOS Knock-On Magic Space and the DIOS Double Door Ice Water Purifier Refrigerator apply inverter linear compressors. The linear compressor, which moves in a straight line without motor rotation, has less energy loss during power transmission. Additionally, inverter technology allows precise control of the refrigerator by freely adjusting the motor speed.

The PuriCare Up-Down-Left-Right Water Purifier is the first in the domestic market to apply a water outlet that moves in all directions. With an automatic up-down function, when a customer places a cup on the purifier stand and presses the water outlet button, the outlet moves up and down automatically up to 10 cm before dispensing water. A sensor near the outlet detects the cup’s height to reduce water splashing.

Also, the ‘Tromm Washing Machine ThinQ,’ equipped with an AI DD motor, has the largest washing capacity of 24 kg among domestic home washing machines. Although the internal washing drum capacity increased by more than 10% compared to the previous 21 kg model, the product’s external width remains the same, and the annual power consumption per kilogram decreased by 12%.

Song Dae-hyun, President of LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “Based on a sustainable eco-friendly management strategy, we will continue to introduce products that combine high energy efficiency with excellent performance and design, maintaining our status as a leading home appliance brand.”
