After coming up with air conditioners that fight air pollution and humidity, LG now has a new air conditioner that fights dengue, a tropical disease that has become one of the leading killers of Filipinos.
Recently launched in the Philippines is LG’s revolutionary Mosquito Away Residential Air Conditioner with technology that repels mosquitoes, including dengue-causing ones, for a healthy, comfortable, and mosquito-free haven in homes, schools, and establishments.
The Mosquito Away RAC utilizes a speaker generating ultrasonic wave that makes inaudible u-wave at a specific frequency of over 30kHz that is completely harmless to humans. The ultrasonic wave technology is very convenient and probably the easiest way to keep mosquitoes away.
The anti-dengue air conditioner has been tested by Dr. Pio A. Javier, research professor of the Crop Protection Cluster of University of the Philippines Los Baños. Test results showed that the LG RAC is capable of repelling indigenous mosquitoes, the dengue-causing Aedes aegypti, at a very high success rate of 82.71 percent.
Aside from its Mosquito Away feature, the new LG RAC boasts of a low voltage starter that allows the unit to operate at lower voltage in lower temperatures. Its jet cooling feature, meanwhile allows for quick cooling.
