[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheolhyun] Kyungdong Navien announced on the 21st that it has obtained New Excellent Technology (NET) certification for its 'Hot Water Preheating System,' which enables hot water use within 10 seconds even in winter.

The New Excellent Technology (NET) certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's National Institute of Technology and Standards is awarded to technologies that are either developed for the first time in Korea or have been innovatively improved from existing technologies. It requires passing a systematic review process conducted in three stages. Kyungdong Navien explained that through this certification, it reaffirmed the excellence of its hot water control technology and also demonstrated the economic and environmental benefits of the new technology.

The hot water preheating system certified by NET uses a recirculation valve to quickly preheat the water inside the direct water supply pipe. Since only a recirculation valve needs to be additionally installed between the direct water supply pipe that delivers water to users and the boiler, it features low cost and installation burden. Using a boiler equipped with this system allows hot water to be used within 10 seconds, which is 103 seconds faster compared to conventional boilers. It also reduces the amount of water wasted while waiting for hot water to reach the desired temperature. For a family of four, this amounts to 19.9 tons annually.

In August, Kyungdong Navien launched a new boiler product, 'Navien Condensing ON AI,' applying the hot water preheating system. Kim Yongbeom, Vice President of Kyungdong Navien, said, "Through this NET certification, we were able to prove Kyungdong Navien's excellent hot water control technology recognized in the global market," adding, "Kyungdong Navien will continue relentless research and development to provide customers with a comfortable living environment."
