Latest LG DualCool employs enhanced AI technology

SOUTH KOREA: LG Electronics is unveiling its newly upgraded DualCool residential air conditioner, which employs the company’s enhanced AI Core-Tech technology.

The DualCool AI Air is said to offer an optimised air conditioning environment customised to each user’s preferences. Powered by LG’s AI Dual Inverter, the system detects the ambient temperature of the space and intelligently adjusts temperature, airflow direction and speed accordingly. 

The AI Air mode features a human detecting sensor, which precisely tracks the user’s location and learns usage patterns through spatial analysis by the ThinQ app to create the most efficient airflow pathway. The function also automatically adjusts the settings to create a comfortable indoor environment, delivering direct airflow for fast cooling or heating and transitioning to a soft air mode with indirect airflow when the room reaches the required temperature.

In addition, the new model features Sleep Timer+, which analyses user preferences and sleep patterns to provide a relaxing sleep environment. Sleep Timer+ sets the ideal temperature and operates quietly during sleep hours. The Dual Vane system and Soft Air function are said to further improve airflow control.

The DualCool AI Air also employs an array of energy-saving features, reducing energy consumption with unparalleled convenience. Its AI kW Manager enables users to control electricity use by setting and monitoring usage limits. 

The Human Detecting Sensor and Window Open Detection allows the air conditioner to swiftly sense changes in the room, activating energy-saving mode when the space is unoccupied or if the temperature suddenly fluctuates.

The DualCool AI Air is also said to simplify clean air management with its All Cleaning mode. Activated with a single tap in the ThinQ app, this mode performs a full maintenance cycle. This includes condensed water generation and Freeze Cleaning to remove contaminants from the evaporator, as well as Auto Clean+ which automatically dries the interior of the air conditioner. This cycle is backed by a multi-step filtration process. Users can also activate the Plasmaster Ionizer++, which is said to be capable of eliminating up to 99.9% of adhering bacteria, and capturing dust and debris.
