LG's Inverter Direct Drive motor reaches milestone with 100 million units produced

Tweet

A Key Component of Premium LG Washing Machines for More than Two Decades, Company’s Innovative Motor Technology Continues to Evolve for Excellence

LG Electronics (LG) announces that production of its Inverter Direct Drive™ (DD™) motor has exceeded 100 million units. The company’s differentiated motor technology is a major factor in the strong, reliable performance and continuing global popularity of LG’s industry-leading laundry solutions.

From 1998 to the end of 2022, the company produced, on average, over 12,000 Inverter DD motors per day. LG’s Inverter DD motor connects directly to the washing drum, an innovation that helps make LG washing machines more durable and dramatically reduces noise and energy consumption during operation.

LG has refined the Inverter DD motor over four generations, continuously improving the technology and its performance capabilities to deliver greater customer value. The company holds over 240 Inverter DD motor related technology patents in Korea and internationally. In 2019, the company applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the Inverter DD motor to further enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. Used in LG’s premium washing machines and dryers, the AI DD motor leverages deep learning technology to detect the weight of each load and the types of fabrics being washed. It then selects the optimal combination of drum movements from the company’s proprietary 6 Motion tech – which enables six discrete drum movements – to care and clean for users’ laundry.

Last year, LG brought its advanced Inverter DD motor to its dryers for the first time. Like the company’s washers, LG dryers also offer 6 Motion (Tumble, Swing, Rolling, Stepping, Scrubbing, and Filtration) technology to boost drying performance and minimize fabric damage. LG’s inverter motor technology – specifically, the AI DD – became the first home appliance technology to earn Deep Learning AI Verification from global safety science company, (UL) Underwriters Laboratories.

“The number of Inverter DD motors produced points to the excellence of the motor technology LG has developed for its premium laundry solutions,” said Kim Yang-sun, head of the Component Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to create highly efficient core components that boost the performance and reliability of our products while also reducing carbon emissions during operation.”

Save Space Without Compromise with LG's Newest Line of Window Type Air Conditioners

Tweet

When it comes to home appliances, space is the name of the game. Space, or lack thereof, is one of the most important factors to consider when moving or fitting out a home, whether for form or function. It’s crucial that with whatever appliance you bring, it’s able to maximize every square inch it occupies.

Recognizing the premium for space, LG introduces a new line of window type air conditioners that’s more compact than ever but without sacrificing an ounce of cooling technology. The new line comes in three levels of cooling capacity - 0.8 HP, 1.0 HP, and 1.3 HP. All three versions share the same compact size with all of LG’s innovative technology.

The new line of air conditioners boast of LG’s storied inverter technology. With the LG DUAL Inverter Compressor, the air conditioners provide up to 70% more energy savings. Even with its small size, it still provides maximum cooling. These inverter window air conditioners provide exceptional cooling power that will keep you and your family cool, comfortable, and in control any day of the week.

With small spaces, noise is also magnified. This new line of air conditioners operate at sound levels as low as 44dB (when in low mode), eliminating unnecessary noise for smooth operation that you'll barely notice. It also offers Sleep Mode, which keeps operating noise to a minimum and turns the air conditioner off after a set time. The timer can be set from 1 to 12 hours. For the timer, you can set it up to 24 hours of operation, so that your air conditioner turns off when you plan it. Another game changing feature this line offers is the Clean Filter Indicator, which automatically notifies you whenever the filter needs cleaning. Say goodbye to guesswork!

The design and interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Operate it with the LED display and simple selection control panel, up/down temperature adjustments, and fan speed selection, using the full-featured remote without leaving your bed, workspace, or couch.

The air conditioners also offer versatile options and features for control. With the ThinQ™ app, you can start or stop your LG air conditioner, change the mode, or set the temperature, no matter where you are.

It also offers an Auto Clean Function. If the power cuts off, your unit resumes its previous operation shortly after the power is restored. It also has an Auto Evaporating System, where after turning off the air conditioner, the drying function automatically runs for 10 minutes. Say goodbye to smelly humidity.

Take command of your space today with LG’s space saving window type air conditioners. For more information, visit https://www.lg.com/ph/air-conditioners.

LG Showcases Seamless Smart Home Experience With Home Connectivity Alliance at CES 2023

Tweet

LG Electronics (LG), a board member of the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), will showcase a seamless smart home experience at CES 2023. 

Along with other HCA member companies, LG will demonstrate the interoperability enabled under the new HCA Specification 1.0, whereby smart home solutions from different brands work together seamlessly to deliver true connected convenience in the home.

Inside HCA’s booth at CES, LG will be exhibiting its latest smart home appliances – including the refrigerator with MoodUP, WashTower laundry solution, ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner and PuriCare AeroTower – together with those from other alliance members. Visitors will be able to see the realization of HCA’s “Any app to any device” vision, which presents users with the ability to manage each brand’s products via each brand’s smart control app, such as LG’s intuitive ThinQ app. This new level of interoperability is currently supported by HCA member companies including LG.

Utilizing existing industry standards to define Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) interoperability guidelines, the new HCA Specification 1.0 has been established to ensure that home appliances, TVs and HVAC systems can interoperate seamlessly with one another, irrespective of brand. In addition to newly-launched models, consumers can continue using the smart home appliances and HVAC solutions that they already own and are covered by HCA Specification 1.0, without having to install any major firmware updates.

Furthermore, HCA Specification 1.0 will help member companies to make the smart home more sustainable in the future, leveraging data collected from across alliance members’ appliances to gain usage insight and improve energy management.

“As a member of HCA, LG is contributing to the realization of a safe, secure and interoperable connected home ecosystem,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Through collaboration and open innovation, we will continue to provide consumers with solutions for a smarter, more convenient way of living.”

Visitors to HCA’s booth (#52739, Smart Home Hall, The Venetian Expo) at CES 2023 from January 5-8 in Las Vegas can experience the interoperability of HCA member companies’ latest smart home solutions.

LG Announces the Winners of the LG Ambassador Challenge

Tweet

Over the past few months, LG Philippines has been collecting entries for the first-ever local iteration of the LG Ambassador Challenge. The initiative, which was started with Korea Friends of Hope International, is a first in the Philippines and affirms LG’s commitment to help deliver sustainable growth to local communities in the country. After reviewing all the entries, LG selected ‘Ride for Hope’ by Bahay Aruga and ‘Roof for Siargao’ by Red Charity Gala.

Secretary of Bahay Aruga, Sungjae Kim - LGEPH Managing Director, Kerry Tinga, Kaye Tinga - Co-founder of Red Charity Gala, Mr. Young Park - LGEHPH Product Director for Air Solutions

Bahay Aruga, which was founded in 2014, is a free halfway house for Pediatric Cancer patients of Philippine General Hospital (PGH). Most of the children need to be in PGH every week because of their long-term treatment, but the predicament they are facing is that they don't have a place to stay here in Manila. Hence, the halfway house was born. There are many cases that patients and parents slept on the sidewalk of the hospital to wait for the patients' next check-up and treatment. Sadly, many of them abandoned their treatment because of financial hardship. This is how the Bahay Aruga came into life. As endorsed by the Oncology department of PGH, patients with their parents or carer are fully accommodated at Bahay Aruga for free. These patients are given utmost consideration to make their stay comfortable, as cancer treatments can often be difficult and at times mind-boggling in terms of mentally, emotionally, financially, and otherwise. Recently, the matriarch of Bahay Aruga and who conceptualized the halfway house, Marietta Bonilla, passed away due to COVID-19. During these uncertainties, a family member made an assurance to its residents that Bahay Aruga will remain operating. The distance to PGH however, is still quite far and with Manila traffic and medical emergencies, every minute counts. The Ride for Hope project’s aim is to procure a new ambulance for the kids who need immediate medical response. Receiving the grant is Mr. Josefino B. Bonilla, Board of Director of Bahay Aruga ‘The daily battle of patients and carers are endless, but choosing Ride For Hope project, and with the new ambulance that we will be able to use, life will be more convenient and better for the pediatric cancer patients. Thank you, LG and KFHI for this program’.

Red Charity Gala (RCG) was started in 2009 by chairpersons Tessa Valdes and Kaye Tinga whose objectives have been to raise funds for numerous beneficiaries thru the celebration of Philippine fashion. In the last 11 years, they were able to raise over 30 million that have been distributed to Philippine Red Cross, Gifts & Graces, and Assumption HS 81 Foundation, among others. These funds have been used for relief efforts and community building in several provinces across the country. With the onset of the covid pandemic in 2020, thier mission was put on hold as we wait for better days to come. Jordan Valdes has been very much present in the RCG events and witnessed the generosity of its organizers, guests, and donors; making RCG the most awaited fashion charity event over the last decade. She was living in Siargao for six months when Typhoon Odette hit the province in December 2021. Having seen the destruction that was made to her second home, it became apparent that her kind-heartedness, generosity, and her exposure with RCG made her equipped to launch her own fundraising for those whose lives were in shambles after the typhoon. She initially asked for donations from her family and friends from Manila and all over to world to provide food & supplies for the typhoon victims. She was able to see firsthand how the houses were all destroyed. There was so little help coming in to help rebuild these people’s houses and lives. Two months after the storm, Jordan saw that there is still a lot to do for Siargao. In February, she went back to Manila in the hopes that she can raise more funds to help the communities in Siargao. Thus, the RCG Roof for Siargao project was born. As RCG evolves, they go back to the core of bringing people together: it is about giving hope, sharing our blessings, and empowering people to rebuild their lives. Ms. Kaye Tinga, co-founder of RCG was grateful to LG when she attended the awarding "The opportunity for Jordan Valdes to be chosen as an LG Ambassador can inspire young people to take the initiative to help improve other people’s lives. We thank LG for giving us Red Charity Gala, a unique opportunity to make a difference".

LG Philippines Managing Director Sungjae Kim shares his excitement about the two winners of the pioneer program “The LG Ambassador Program is the first in the Philippines and a part of LG’s commitment to help Filipinos through social contribution activities that deliver sustainable growth to local communities. We, together with Korea Friends of Hope International, would want to become arbiters of change and to help communities blossom. These two programs, Ride for Hope and Roof Siargao, are both in line with our brand values under an overarching vision that sees to achieve a better life for all. We stand behind their vision and we want to see more of what they can accomplish with this win”.

LG Philippines has finally launched one of their most eagerly awaited Air Solutions products in the country. In a recent installment of the South Korean technology giant’s popular Livestream event, long-time LG Brand Ambassador James Deakin hosted the launch that was simulcast through Lazada and Facebook.

The self-purifying mask, which was introduced and went viral a year ago, is one of the most coveted techwear pieces worldwide. The PuriCare™ Wearable Air Purifier, together with its case, is offered alongside LG’s line of air conditioners which also feature UVnano technology.

UVnano is LG’s newest innovation that revolutionizes personal protection. This technology uses ultraviolet light to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria. The PuriCare™ Wearable Air Purifier’s charging case uses UVnano to clean the mask while it's charging, while the new air conditioners use ultraviolet light to sterilize the fan to prevent 99.99% of germs from adhering to its surface. This process makes the air blown through the unit that much purer, safer, and fresher.

The LG PuriCare™ Wearable Air Purifier is your personal all-in solution for clean air. It provides thorough air protection with HEPA filters that filter out 99% of harmful particles for clean, fresh air. It has a Safety Certificate from the Korean Institute of Public Safety (KIPS), while virus removal, bacteria filtration, and pollen allergen removal performance was verified through an internal test conducted under the observation of TUV Rheinland Korea.

The wearable air purifier has also been certified by the Korean Asthma Allergy Foundation (KAF) for the effective removal of allergens, and the National Radio Research Agency (EMF) for electromagnetic compatibility. The Respiratory Sensor detects the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breathing, whereas DUAL Inverter Fans adjust the dual three-speed fans accordingly. Its seamless, organic design fits and seals to your face to minimize air leakage around the nose and chin, comfortable for everyday wear while minimizing air leakage. The material is made of medical-grade silicone. The design also makes it possible to wear the unit comfortably for hours on end.

A separate charging case is also available. It can remove up to 99.99% of bacteria in 30 minutes using UVnano technology, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus. It also supports the use of the LG ThinQ app. With your smartphone, you can check usage history and the status of UVnano mode, Drying mode, and filter life with LG ThinQ. The LG PuriCare™ Wearable Air Purifier, together with its charging case, is the best way to be assured of clean air while on the go.

When you’re just staying at home, however, your best option for clean, pure air is LG’s new air conditioners that utilize the new Aircare Complete system, which is a multi-step filtration process with UVnano to reduce allergens and harmful bacteria to ensure the cleanliness of the air you breathe together with your family and loved ones. The first step of the process is the Safe Plus Pre-Filter, which traps big dust particles and removes 99.9% bacteria from the start.

Next is the Ultra-Fine Dust (HAF) filter that collects Particulate Matter (PM) 1.0 ultra-fine dust that is combined with (-) ion from Ion diffuser. After that is the Allergy Filter that reduces allergens with a filter for healthier air followed by the UVnano technology to keep your fan 99.99% bacteria-free for a cleaner breeze. The end result is clean, pure air in your home all day every day.

Another upcoming product to look out for is the LG PuriCare™ 360. A lot of air purifiers are available in the market right now but what makes LG’s special is because it is tested and certified by the British Allergy Foundation (BAF), Korea Air Cleaning Association (CA), and Korea Asthma & Allergy Association (KAF). PuriCare™ air purifiers remove over 90% of airborne allergens. It has a unique purification method that promotes 360 degrees of clean air delivery, including areas low to the ground where infants and toddlers can reap the rewards. It has an exceptional multi-filter system that captures six different types of particles to deliver purer, cleaner air. True HEPA Filter traps 99.7% of particles as small as 0.3 microns while a deodorization filter removes living odor, smog, and airborne chemicals. It has a unique PM 1.0 sensor that detects contaminants in the air one micron or smaller in diameter. More importantly, for families with newborns, the LG PuriCare™ 360° Air Purifier operates at whisper-quiet sound levels as low as 25dB.

LG’s new air conditioners utilize the new Aircare Complete system; the first step of this multi-step filtration process is the Safe Plus Pre-Filter, which traps big dust particles and remove 99.9% bacteria from the start.
