LG Electronics Unveils Whisen Commercial Stand Air Conditioner with Air Purification Function

An LG Electronics model is introducing the Whisen commercial stand air conditioner equipped with an air purification function.

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 20th that it has launched the Whisen commercial stand air conditioner equipped with an air purification function that can be used all year round.

LG Electronics emphasized that this is the first Whisen commercial stand air conditioner to feature an air purification function. The cooling area and heating area are 131.8㎡ and 100㎡, respectively. The air purification area (181㎡) has received CAC certification from the Korea Air Cleaning Association. Installing just this product in offices or hospitals of about 40 pyeong allows cooling, heating, and air purification throughout all four seasons.

This product manages air with a pre-filter that filters dust in the first stage, an ultra-fine dust filter that collects and filters fine dust particles of 0.3 micrometers in size, and a photocatalytic deodorizing filter that reduces odors.

The photocatalytic deodorizing filter can be dried under sunlight or fluorescent light every six months, and the ultra-fine dust filter and pre-filter can be washed with water every six months and two weeks, respectively, allowing for reuse. Customers can conveniently manage the filters and save on replacement costs.

The laser dust sensor detects the amount of dust in the air more accurately than the LED dust sensor found in existing Whisen commercial system air conditioners.

Usability has also been enhanced. The display on the product exterior shows temperature, airflow, operating status, as well as air quality status. Additionally, customers can connect the product to wireless internet (Wi-Fi) and remotely control the air conditioner using the LG ThinQ app on their smartphones or tablets without a remote control.

The new product is priced at 3.9 million KRW based on the shipment price.

Gamkyu Lee, Vice President and Head of Air Solution Business Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “As customers’ interest in health and hygiene increases, we will lead the commercial stand air conditioner market by introducing a new product equipped with powerful air purification functions, excellent cooling and heating performance, and convenient usability.”
