Air Conditioning Units that Prevent Malaria

Two weeks ago we spoke about air conditioning in Nigerian market. Well now there has been another unit produce with Nigeria in mind. Again the company who has designed it is LG.

The air conditioning unit was specifically designed to fight against malaria. Ok so I can already hear you saying how is this possible? Well it turns out, it is. It is called Anti Mosquito and it works by using ultrasonic wave technology. This acts as a mosquito repellent; this will then in turn prevent any causes of malaria in the building it is operating in.

The unit has been tested and LG has said that in 24 hours it will repel 64 per cent of Anopheles mosquito’s that are carrying the deadly disease. Overall they say it will have a success rate of 82 per cent.

This is not just an air conditioning that can cool down spaces and repel mosquitos. Oh no! It has been designed to function even with the ever changing power supplies in countries where it isn’t as stable as it is here. LG have done this by including the units with a super automatic voltage switcher which means if there is a blackout or a surge no damage will occur to any of the components.

LG Air Conditioning Launch Product in Nigeria

In Nigeria the hottest part tends to be in the North. However even though there has been the introduction of basic air conditioning units, they have always had to consider the implications of high rise buildings. As a result they started introducing commercial air conditioning units, albeit slowly.

This is because there needs to be power to operate them and in Nigeria there is an unstable supply of it. The growth for the air conditioning business has definitely been restricted by this. Another reason is technical skills. Within the area there is a lack of knowledge about commercial air conditioning.

Even though there are these setbacks major air conditioning brands have not been put off by putting its products into the Nigerian market. LG Electronics in the past have launched their Multi V III commercial air conditioning. By doing this they have proven that there are three areas that the consumers in this market like, higher energy efficiency, bigger capacity and longer piping design.

Mr Junhwa Jeong is the general manager for air conditioning and energy solution division at LG Electronics West Africa operations has said, “As a company with a great focus on producing energy-saving and efficient products, we are happy to introduce the Multi V III Solo into the Nigerian market. With this product in the market, we are in a better position to work with our dealers and business partners to keep LG in the lead as the NO.1 provider of smart and efficient HVAC solutions.”
