LG Electronics (LG) has announced the release of its latest Residential
Air Conditioning (RAC) in Nigeria.
The LG GEN COOL Inverter V Air Conditioner which is designed for Nigerian
Market. This AC meets the demands of customers who want to use Air Conditioners
in Nigeria
with small capacity generators.
It comes with benefits
ranging from Affordability : Average
75% generator size reduced with Gen mode; Energy
Efficiency : save running cost by maximum 40% through LG advanced inverter V technology as well as Durability : LVS, AVS & PCB up to
450 V ( Stronger and wider protection).
Unlike the conventional
AC (ON/OFF types) which requires big size generator to start AC due to high
start-up electric power, LG GEN COOL Inverter V AC can be started with smaller generator
due to LG inverter technology. In accordance with LG, for the normal mode 1HP
AC needs 1.5 KVA generator while 1.5 HP requires 1.7KVA and 2HP needs 2.2KVA.
The LG GEN COOL Inverter
V Air Conditioner comes with the GEN Mode which allows for the use of small
capacity generator in areas where electric supply is insufficient eliminating
the need for large generator. Easy and convenient, the GEN Mode works by
minimizing startup electric requirements.
For customers who desire
to use AC with lower capacity than above mentioned generator types, they can
choose Gen- Mode on remote control (1HP- 0.9KVA; 1.5HP- 1.1KVA; 2.0HP- 1.5KVA);
but in the case of Gen-Mode, the power performance goes down by around 30%
Speaking
at the event, Managing Director, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr.
Deog Jun Kim said: “Going with our notion of Africa
at heart we introduced products with local relevance. Starting with Plasma,
Titan AVS, Mosquito Away air-conditioners & our latest energy-efficient
solution, the GEN COOL Inverter V AC, which allows 1HP AC to run on small
capacity generators of 0.9 KVA with Gen Mode .This air conditioner comes with
Eco-friendly refrigerant -R410A”
LG’s
innovative product performs reliably regardless of electricity supply issues or
extreme outdoor temperatures. Incredibly durable, the air conditioner features
an upgraded power circuit board (PCB) and corrosion-resistant technologies that
ensure greater operational longevity. Importantly, the GEN COOL Inverter V
provides the strong, dependable cooling needed to keep Nigerian consumers
comfortable year-around.
“LG’s GEN COOL Inverter V offers Nigerian consumers efficiency,
cost saving and durability,” said General Manager, Air Conditioning and Energy
Solutions, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr. Junhwa Jeong. “Thanks to
the innovative GEN Mode, our latest air conditioner can work effectively when
being run off a small capacity generator. Not even high outdoor temperatures or
power grid failure can prevent this impressive model from providing strong,
reliable cooling. LG will continue to meet the needs of the African RAC market
with a comprehensive range of residential solutions.”
Unlike many other residential
air conditioners, the GEN COOL Inverter V works well when powered by a small
capacity generator. The GEN Mode, which utilizes LG’s inverter Hz control
technology, reduces the voltage necessary for
startup and reliable operation. As a
result, the GEN COOL Inverter V is able
to run on 60 to 70 percent less electricity than most conventional models.
LG’s new RAC solution
for Nigeria
combines excellent functionality with dependability and rugged durability. An
upgraded power circuit board
(PCB) is responsible for the air conditioner’s wide 145V to 350V operational
range. It also enables the GEN COOL to cope with power surges of up to 500V. Meanwhile,
the double powder coating and Platinum Fin protect the compressor from wear and
corrosion, which in turn contributes to greater operational longevity.
Also speaking at the event, Managing Director, Fouani Nigeria
Limited, Mr. Mohammed Fouani said: “Customers who value durability, stability
and powerful performance will find the LG GEN
COOL Inverter V as the perfect addition to their apartments. The air conditioner reduces
indoor temperatures fast; sending out a large volume of 18 degrees Celsius
airflow for 30 minutes. The GEN Mode allows the air conditioner to operate
effectively when powered by a small capacity generator, even at a capacity as
low as 2KVA.
Effective at combating the relentless Nigerian heat,
the tremendous cooling capabilities of the GEN COOL Inverter V deliver supreme
comfort. With the Jet Cool function activated, LG’s RAC sends out a cool blast
of 18 degrees Celsius airflow for a period of 30 minutes; drastically reducing
the indoor temperature in almost no time at all.
With the unveiling of the new LG GEN COOL Inverter V,
LG Electronics has once more indicated its commitment to continually develop
efficient, effective and highly durable air conditioning solutions tailored to
the needs of consumers in Nigeria.
