Purpose of Timely Supply of Popular Products Including LG Whisen Tower

LG Electronics announced on the 30th that it has been operating the air conditioner production line in Changwon, Gyeongnam at full capacity since the beginning of this month. This is to supply popular air conditioner products such as the LG Whisen Tower to the market in time, as a heatwave is expected this coming summer.

According to the 'May to July 2023 three-month forecast' recently released by the Korea Meteorological Administration, considering climate prediction models such as higher than average sea surface temperatures in the western Pacific and the trend of global warming, temperatures next month are expected to be higher than average, and temperatures in June and July are expected to be higher than or similar to average.

The 2023 model Whisen Tower air conditioners introduced this year have energy consumption efficiency ratings of 1 to 2 across the entire lineup, from premium to entry-level. In particular, they are equipped with R32 refrigerant, which has a global warming potential (GWP) about one-third that of the conventional refrigerant (R410A), demonstrating efforts to protect the environment.
