With a Stylish Design, Personalized Content and LG’s Renowned DUAL Inverter, New Residential Air Conditioner Creates a Chic and Comfortable Living Environment

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is ready to unveil its latest ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner at CES 2023. Boasting a 27-inch LCD screen and LG’s upgradable options, the new model can display personalized content to match any season or to instantly refresh the room using LG ThinQ app. It also delivers energy-efficient cooling and heating with LG’s DUAL Inverter Compressor™ and 3-way indirect airflow, provides a more hygienic performance with AI Dry™, and offers a variety of user-friendly features including an intuitive mobile app.

Presenting exclusive content on a bright LCD screen bordered by a simple, yet sophisticated frame, the ARTCOOL Gallery gives one the impression they are looking at a framed work of art rather than an advanced LG air conditioner. Using ThinQ app, users can select from a growing range of gorgeous, static and animated images – or choose from favorite family photos – and display something new whenever they feel like a change. The new model can be easily managed using the included smart remote or via a mobile app1 that lets users choose settings and functions, and monitor the appliance’s status in real-time, from any location.

Equipped with the company’s DUAL Inverter Compressor, the new ARTCOOL Gallery delivers energy-efficient cooling, using up to 70 percent less power than a conventional residential air conditioner.2 The new model’s 3-way airflow provides indirect airflows suitable for the space. LG’s latest ARTCOOL Gallery also helps create an indoor environment that is as peaceful as it is comfortable, operating at noise levels as low as 20 decibels, and closing its ‘hidden’ bottom vane in sleep mode so as not to disturb or disrupt users’ rest.3

What’s more, the stunning ARTCOOL Gallery provides pleasantly fresh airflow thanks to LG’s AI Dry feature. Automatically setting the optimal drying time based on operation time and mode selection, AI Dry effectively removes any moisture that has formed inside the air conditioner. Additionally, the new model has a bottom grill that can be easily detached and cleaned 4 and a cover that helps make installation easier.

“Offering outstanding performance and artistic themes fit for all tastes and seasons, our latest ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner delivers year-around comfort and elegance,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “With the unique combination of personalized content and cutting-edge technologies, LG’s innovative, new air solution is designed to help provide consumers with a better life at home.”

Visitors to LG’s booth (#15501, Las Vegas Convention Center) at CES 2023 from January 5-8 can see all of the company’s latest innovations, including the new ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner.

1 Currently only compatible with Android OS-based devices.

2 Based on TÜV Rheinland tests conducted according to LG internal test methods comparing cooling time and power consumption. Test conducted in a chamber of 69 meters3 (4.3 x 7.0 x 2.3m) at a temperature of 33o C with a relative humidity of 60 percent using LG air conditioner with DUAL Inverter Compressor (model US-Q242Kxy0, US-Q122Jxy0) and LG air conditioner with constant speed compressor (model TS-H2465DA0, TS-H122TDA) at a set temperature of 26o C. Energy savings is measured by comparing the power consumption of the two models during 8 hours of operation.

3 Tested LG’s internal lab measuring the average noise level of the product in the ‘Sleep Mode’ (19.6 decibels). Results may vary depending on the actual usage environment. 

4 Users can access and clean the ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner’s fan after removing the bottom grill.

Water-Based Vaping Breakthrough Unveiled At UKVIA Forum

Leave a comment

Water-based vaping technology developed by Aquios Labs and Innokin continues to impress the vaping industry

LONDON, Nov. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Vaping Industry Forum and Awards Dinner, organised by the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA), is a significant date in the vaping industry’s calendar. On Friday 18th November 2022, some 300 delegates, including policymakers, tobacco harm reduction experts and representatives from vaping industry met to discuss the event’s theme, “Vaping for a Better Future”.

The vaping industry seeks to disrupt the combustible tobacco industry with less harmful products. Leading brands are developing new technologies to make next generation nicotine a more effective platform for adult smokers.

Vaping industry veterans Innokin have a long history of Innovation. Recent awards include “Best Overall Vape Brand” at the Ecigclick Awards 2021, “best sustainable initiative” at the Vapouround Awards 2022, and “Biggest Breakthrough Innovation” at the Golden Leaf Awards 2022, the latter of which were earned for the introduction of water-based vaping technology, developed in partnership with Aquios Labs.

Innokin says water-based vaping was developed to deliver smoother vapour, faster satisfaction and more accurate flavours, while enhancing the potential for harm reduction. These benefits are achieved using a proprietary e-liquid formulation with 30% water content and new vaping hardware tailored to thinner liquids. Independent testing by TCT Lab has demonstrated that water-based vaping reduces acetaldehyde and formaldehyde emissions by 91% and 81% respectively compared to traditional vapes.

Now, Innokin and Aquios Labs have added another water-based vape to their portfolio with the INNOBAR C1, unveiled to harm reduction and industry experts at the UKVIA Forum.

The INNOBAR C1 is the world’s first pre-filled pod system to take advantage of water-based vaping technology. Innokin says this allows the device to “deliver next-generation performance, at a more affordable price and with less waste compared to disposable vaping devices”. Unlike disposable devices, The INNOBAR C1 uses a rechargeable battery, combined with pre-filled “pods” to allow for enhanced performance and greatly reduced waste.

Water-based vaping technology is now set to gain momentum in the global vaping industry, as major brands and harm reduction experts seek to find new ways to improve the efficacy of vaping products.

Speaking at the UKVIA Forum “Innovating in the vaping sector” panel, Innokin UK Branding Manager, Benedict Jones said: “The process of listening to customers and trying to understand their challenges is central to our product strategy. Our goal is always to reduce the number of barriers between a transitioning smoker and a less harmful alternative.

Innokin UK Branding Manager, Benedict Jones
Innokin UK Branding Manager, Benedict Jones

By integrating water-based vaping technology, INNOBAR C1 delivers smoother vapour, greater nicotine satisfaction and reduced dehydration, at a lower vaping temperature with improved chemical stability. We are excited to continue development of this technology with our partner Aquios Labs.”

Innokin and Aquios Labs have already launched several disposable vaping devices with water-based vaping technology, alongside their latest pre-filled pod device, the INNOBAR C1. Innokin are now developing refillable vaping devices which can make use of water-based e-liquids, such as pods and tanks. 

In the run up to the Ecigclick Awards 2022 and the next Vaper Expo UK in May 2023, Innokin and Aquios Labs plan to expand their unique water-based vaping portfolio to reach all segments of the growing vaping market.

A report from Transparency reveals that the global footwear market is expected to achieve sales of more than US$278 billion by 2025, with product category expansion and emerging markets penetration the key to growth. The Sustainable Shoe Manufacturing Technology Seminar is a part of Taiwan’s “Smart Machinery Overseas Promotion Program”, which is designed to enhance the international image of Taiwan and assist manufacturers in taking advantage of overseas business opportunities. Mr. Tran Ngoc Liem, Vice President of VCCI (Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry), noted that Taiwan and Vietnam have been engaging in frequent and meaningful exchanges, especially as it concerns the post-pandemic digital transformation experience. We are looking forward to a closer cooperation between the two markets.
