[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Kyowon Group's home appliance brand Wells announced on the 1st that it will showcase its new air purifier model 'Tornado' through an online launch show.

According to Wells, the new product's 'Tornado Suction System' uses a double-cone filter structure inspired by a vortex shape to generate a powerful rotating airflow that intakes air.

The double-cone filter structure, patented by Wells, minimizes the difference in suction airflow speed between the upper and lower parts of the air purifier. As a result, it strongly draws in dust close to the floor. Internal tests showed that using the double-cone structure improved suction performance by approximately 18%.

Conventional cylindrical air purifiers intake air through a motor located at the top of the device. There is a difference in airflow speed and intake volume between the suction part near the motor and the far side. The 'Inclined Surface Airflow Method' applies an optimal discharge angle to induce efficient air circulation, considering the ceiling height and area of residential environments.

The inclined surface airflow method discharges purified air at a 17-degree incline, creating efficient and powerful convection. Compared to the conventional upward discharge method, the purification speed is about 30% faster.

Additionally, Wells offers a lineup of four models certified by CA standards for clean areas of 79.3㎡, 86.7㎡, 107.8㎡, and 111.7㎡, allowing customized selection based on the usage space.

Furthermore, seven types of lifestyle-customized filters are provided, enabling users to select and install filters according to their living environment, such as ▲new house syndrome ▲atopy-causing substances ▲ultrafine dust ▲pet waste odors. Wells explained that the volume is reduced by up to 71% compared to air purifiers of the same size, allowing placement anywhere indoors.

All four new models have an energy efficiency rating of Grade 1, so electricity costs are low even when used 24 hours a day. Rental fees range from 35,900 to 44,900 KRW per month depending on the clean area and contract period.

A Wells representative said, “As medium to large air purifiers for spaces over 20 pyeong gain attention due to changing residential environments, the clean area and speed of air purifiers are becoming important factors when choosing a purifier. The Tornado is an efficient lifestyle-customized air purifier tailored to various lifestyles.”
