A cool way to keep mozzies away
RECENT findings by the Health Ministry indicated that dengue cases have significantly increased over the years.
In line with that, LG hopes to mitigate the occurrence of dengue cases with the introduction of LG Mosquito Away Air Conditioner.
Mosquitoes are dangerous pests bringing diseases, namely dengue and malaria.
The Health Ministry reported 38,517 dengue cases and 120 deaths as of April 25 this year, compared to 28,814 cases and 66 deaths for the same period last year, an increase of 9,703 cases ( 33.7%) and 54 deaths ( 81.8%).
Selangor records the highest dengue cases and the numbers increase daily.
Dengue is transmitted when a female Aedes Aegypti mosquito bites an infected person and then bites someone else. Symptoms appear within three to 14 days.
With the advent of modern day technology, ultrasonic pest repellents are allegedly a healthier option as opposed to traditional mosquito coils and liquids that emit toxic fumes.
LG’s Mosquito Away Air Conditioner apparently repels mosquitoes with ultrasonic technology, without the use of harmful chemicals.
The air conditioner has a speaker that generates inaudible ultrasonic waves at a frequency between 30kHz and 100kHz when the Mosquito Away function is switched on.
The LG ultrasonic waves repel mosquito within a 33m radius ( under 27° C room temperature).
The ultrasonic waves, together with inverter air cooling innovation, helps reduce the temperature and moisture in the environment and ensures mosquitoes are efficiently dispersed, giving consumers better sleep.
According to scientific information and experimental evidence, animals and insects respond to various ultrasonic sound frequencies. Small mammals such as dogs and cats respond to 22kHz to 25kHz ultrasonic sound waves and avoid them.
Insects like mosquitoes, houseflies and cockroaches respond to 30kHz to 44kHz ultrasonic sound waves.
The waves are harmless to human ears, which are insensitive to such high frequencies.
> Safe repellent:
> Certified safe for use and reliable:
LG’s Mosquito Away Air Conditioner is certified “safe for use” by Germany’s TUV NORD and recommended for use by consumers.
Its clever system represents a clean and safe alternative to dangerous chemical- based insecticides and repellents.
The efficacy of LG’s technology has been certified by Intertek, the International Product Testing and Inspection Company headquartered in London, the United Kingdom, and the International Institute of Bio- Technology and Toxicology ( IIBAT), based in India.
European Commission has conferred its CE product conformity mark on the Mosquito Away System in recognition of its electrically safe design.
Conveniently, this mosquito- repelling function can be turned on independently of cooling with its inverter compressor, helping prevent unnecessary energy usage.
The Mosquito Away Air Conditioner not just keeps mosquitoes away, but also keeps the home cool and clean.
LG’s Inverter V air conditioner is equipped with BLDC compressor that boosts the performance of the air conditioner while saving energy.
The air conditioner is powered by LG active Energy Control function whereby consumers can now choose their own preferred energy consumption mode.
Furthermore, the micro- dust filter powered by 3M technology cleans the air by employing a strong electrostatic charge to trap harmful microscopic substance resulting in a cleaner home.
