[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] LG Electronics received 10 main awards, including the grand prize, at a government-sponsored energy awards ceremony, becoming the institution with the most awards. This proved that it possesses the highest domestic technology in the energy sector amid the growing importance of energy efficiency in the era of inflation.

On the 21st, LG Electronics announced that it received 10 main awards, including the grand prize, at the '25th Energy Winner Awards of the Year' hosted by the Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice and sponsored by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Environment, and the Korea Energy Agency. It became the industry’s top award-winning institution for six consecutive years.

To receive an award, the technology or product must have high energy efficiency and excellent energy-saving effects. LG Electronics' Tromm dryer received the 'Energy Grand Prize and Minister of Industry Award,' and the Dios Objet Collection top refrigerator and bottom freezer refrigerator received the 'Energy Efficiency Award.' Eight other products, including the Tromm washing machine, Whisen tower air conditioner, Dios kimchi refrigerator, Dios dishwasher, PuriCare dual water purifier, PuriCare Objet Collection water purifier, CordZero A9S cordless vacuum cleaner, and soundbar, received the Energy Winner Award.

The Tromm dryer, which won the grand prize, is a first-grade energy consumption efficiency product. It is equipped with highly efficient energy technologies such as the 'Dual Inverter Compressor,' which reduces noise by dividing and compressing the refrigerant, and a motor.

It excels not only in energy efficiency but also in the core function of drying. It is notable for being the world's first dryer to apply a direct drive (DD) motor. According to LG Electronics, the DD motor is a component that connects the drum and motor with a gear system, unlike a general motor connected by a belt. It plays a role in precisely controlling the drum's rotation speed.

Additionally, it integrates artificial intelligence (AI) technology that detects the fabric of clothing to determine drying time and optimal operation. The '6-motion drying,' similar to natural drying methods, minimizes the stress on clothes, reducing the possibility of shrinkage.

The Dios refrigerator, which received the efficiency award, is equipped with LG refrigerator’s core component, the inverter linear compressor. This component has low energy loss. The principle involves adding inverter technology during the process where the motor transmits power through linear motion. The inverter has the function of controlling motor speed. Thanks to this, LG Electronics explains that the refrigerator can be controlled more precisely.

The LG CordZero Objet Collection A9S, the first cordless vacuum cleaner to receive the Energy Winner Award, is also noteworthy. It features a 'Safe Steam Mop' suction head that removes even stubborn dirt from floors. The suction power is up to 220 watts.

The premium LG soundbar, which also won a winner award, is another point of pride for LG. Like the cordless vacuum cleaner, it is the first soundbar product to receive an award. Even in network standby mode when customers are not using the soundbar, it can reduce power consumption by 65.5% compared to models in the same class. This is thanks to the application of low-power operation technology. According to LG Electronics, as more home appliances are connected to networks recently, the need to reduce network standby power consumption is increasing.

Ryu Jae-cheol, Vice President and Head of LG Electronics H&A (Home Appliance) Business Division, said, "Through LG premium home appliances equipped not only with advanced performance and design but also with top-level energy technology, we will provide differentiated customer experiences."
