LG Electronics Launches GEN Cool Inverter V Air Conditioner

…Made for Nigeria, Efficient and Highly Durable Air
Conditioner Keeps Running Even When Powered by Small Capacity Generator

LG Electronics (LG) today 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.
