LG launches Titan Air Conditioner Specifically Designed to Enhance Customers’ Lives
Amman, Jordan (April 2010) - LG Electronics Air Conditioning Company (LG AC), a global leader and technology innovator in the air conditioning industry, has released a powerful new air conditioner designed to combat the Middle East’s relentlessly hot, humid conditions and address the needs of the region’s households by providing optimum hygiene in the home. The dual-unit appliance ‘Titan’ includes a range of consumer-friendly features including high-grade health and safety measures; a more comfortable airflow and an inbuilt high degree of reliability even in the most extreme conditions.
Thanks to its cutting-edge technology, the Titan is as safe and hygienic as any air conditioner on the market. Its advanced proprietary “virus and allergy-safe” filters help eliminate dust mite allergens and viruses such as Influenza A, a major worldwide health concern in recent months. LG’s virus-safe filter, according to tests conducted by the Kitasato Research Center of Environmental Science in Japan, eradicated about 99.9 percent of Influenza A viruses in 24 hours; while the allergy-safe filter has been certified by the British Allergy Foundation (BAF) for its anti-allergenic properties. In addition, the Titan’s cyclotron plasma filter, a feature common to LG air conditioners, collects up to 30 percent more dust than conventional plasma filters.
“Lifestyles in the Levant have changed dramatically over recent years, influencing the way people live, their diets and habits, what products are available in the shops and the environmental conditions that affect health at work and at home,” said the Managing Director at LG Electronics Levant, Mr. Kevin Cha “We also see a firm belief amongst the population that home appliance technology can have a positive role in combating these issues that result from this progress. LG strives to remain a pioneer of technology, especially when it comes to issues that really matter to our customers. Health is at the very root of all of our concerns, and so forms the basis for innovation in LG’s home appliance product development.”
As well as providing an unparalleled range of health-conscious features, the Titan gives consumers the utmost comfort in their homes. Boasting an airflow of up to 10 meters, enough to cover practically any large room in the house, its dynamic double vanes have six horizontal and five vertical swing modes, ensuring that the air conditioner can target pretty much any spot in the room, at almost any power. Better still, the Titan does all this while operating at very low noise levels: at 34dB, the Titan is only slightly noisier than an empty studio (20dB) and quieter than the average public library (40dB).
With its “tropical operation” standard designed specifically to counter the Middle East’s harsh weather conditions, the Titan can operate around the clock and is equally effective at temperatures ranging from 15℃ to 60℃. The Titan’s basic 54℃ operating temperature, the standard for all LG air conditioners, is guaranteed at 187 V to 253V, while 60℃ is guaranteed at 220V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz.
The world’s first air conditioner to boast dual units, the Titan’s unparalleled cooling system works by placing the main unit on one wall, and the second, called the air cruiser, on the opposite wall. This set up cools the room up to 40 percent faster than with regular air conditioners, and disperses cool air 70 percent more equally around the room. Also equipped with a humidifier to counter the bone-dry air, the air cruiser uses completely sanitized water, meaning humidity with up to 99.9 percent less germs and bacteria.
“Tailored to the Middle East region’s weather conditions, the Titan has health-conscious features, a powerful but comfortable cooling capacity, and is very reliable even in extreme conditions. It is truly a masterpiece among LG’s residential air conditioners,” added Mr. Cha. “Through our advanced technologies, we look forward to seeing our products improve the lives of people throughout the region.”
For even greater ease of use, the LG Titan is fitted with a functional and stylish LED display panel on its front. A twin-rotary compressor helps reduce noise levels by up to 3dB, while reducing vibration by up to 70 percent as compared with conventional models.
