Smarter cooling, cleaner air: How AI is changing home comfort

LG's DualCool AI air-conditioner and PuriCare AeroBooster air purifier leverage artificial intelligence to automatically adjust to changing conditions within a home, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments. These devices consider factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, which significantly influence the comfort experienced in a living space.

For those undertaking renovations or moving into a new home, these AI-driven features can enhance the overall ambiance and livability of the property. The DualCool AI air-conditioner and AeroBooster air purifier employ advanced sensors and algorithms to optimally manage the room's microclimate, ensuring a cool, fresh, and comfortable environment, regardless of daily variations in occupancy or activities.

The air-conditioner's AI system detects movement and occupancy, then dynamically adjusts cooling strength, fan speed, and airflow direction. Radar sensors pinpoint occupant locations, enabling the system to cool a room without directing air directly at individuals. When additional heat requires cooling, the Dual Vane function disperses cooler air more widely.

The system can also adapt to common household routines, such as opening a window to ventilate the kitchen after cooking. Window Open Detection detects temperature changes and switches to energy-saving mode. For households with long-term air-conditioning use, the AI kW Manager on 9K and 12K single-split models allows users to set a target power consumption via the LG ThinQ app.

The app monitors electricity usage and activates energy-saving mode as required. Humidity can make a room feel damp, particularly during rainy periods or when drying laundry indoors. Selected 9K and 12K single-split models feature Comfort Humidity Control, which employs a humidity sensor to adjust cooling based on humidity levels and set temperatures.

Between service intervals, Auto Clean+ dries the heat exchanger after cooling ends, reducing moisture that could foster mold, bacteria, and odors. Users can run the fan for up to 20 minutes via the LG ThinQ app, with adjustable airflow and drying times. For enhanced air cleanliness, especially in regions with high dust or pollution levels, the PuriCare AeroBooster air purifier features the Photocatalytic Pet Filter, which employs a light-powered filter to neutralize pet odors.

Pet Mode boosts airflow by 76.9 percent* compared to Standard Mode to effectively capture pet hair. The AeroBooster's 360-degree air purification system draws air from all directions, capturing particles as small as 0.01 micrometres using its Aero V Filtration system. The HEPA filter removes up to 99.999 percent* of particles, while the PM1.0 sensor monitors fine and coarse dust.

UVnano technology further reduces over 99.99 percent* of harmful bacteria on the fan blades. LG’s AI+ function continuously assesses indoor air quality, adjusting fan speed accordingly. In low-purification scenarios, it can cut energy consumption by over 49 percent* compared to auto mode. As indoor conditions fluctuate with daily activities like cooking or family gatherings, LG’s DualCool AI air-conditioner and PuriCare AeroBooster air purifier operate seamlessly in the background, maintaining a comfortable, clean, and energy-efficient home with minimal manual intervention.
