The Federation of Korean Mechanical Engineering Societies (KSME) has announced that it will recognize the “Top 10 Mechanical Technologies of 2018”, honoring domestic innovations in machinery and promoting them to the public. A total of 28 technologies have been nominated, and an online vote will be conducted from September 12 to October 3 (link). The final results will be announced in October, with an official award ceremony to be held on November 14 at the Sheraton Seoul Palace Gangnam Hotel during the 2018 Mechanical Engineering Day celebration.
Among the 28 nominees, four technologies were selected in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sector:
LG Electronics’ System Air Conditioner with Humidity Sensors
LG Electronics’ High-Efficiency System Air Conditioner with Compact Axial Fan
LG Electronics’ Ceiling-Type Air Conditioner with Human Body Temperature Detection
Humicon (Humidity Conditioner), developed by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Humaster
The Humicon stands out as a next-generation air conditioning system that controls humidity instead of relying solely on cooling. Built on desiccant-based dehumidification with heat recovery ventilation, it delivers twice the efficiency of top-rated electric dehumidifiers, offering the world’s highest energy performance in its class. By precisely regulating humidity, Humicon enhances indoor comfort while reducing excessive cooling needs, lowering energy consumption, and helping to prevent “air-conditioner syndrome.”
Same temperature, no humidity. Humicon features desiccant technology that helps maintain optimal humidity at 40%. It also includes air purification and ventilation functions, ensuring fresh and clean indoor air.
Huzero is an industrial dehumidifier designed for low-temperature and extremely low-humidity environments to improve factory productivity, offering energy efficiency 60% higher than existing market products.
Husheet is an innovative and patented technology, ultra-slim dehumidifier that can control humidity as well as deodorizing. It also has dehumidifying, deodorizing, antibacterial, and anti-fungal functions.
Protect your valuable clothes and belongings from humidity with Huspot, a desiccant dehumidifier designed specifically for dressing rooms in your home.
Huspot effectively removes moisture from bathrooms and other areas using advanced desiccant technology, and safely release the humidity outside. Therefore, it is not neccessary to empty a water tank, install pipes, or worry about water leaks.
Huspot can be installed on the ceiling, allowing you to maximize the use of your dressing room space while maintaining an optimal humidity level for your clothes and accessories. Keep your dressing room fresh and humidity-free with Huspot.
