LG Electronics introduces Evercool Smart Inverter Refrigerator into Nigerian market
Power supply in Nigeria is unstable with an average blackout time of 8
hours per day; these outages have been of major concern to many
households as it is apparent that most foods will not remain safe in the
refrigerator without power for long as they go bad within 4 hours of
power outage.
In a bid to salvage the situation, LG Electronics, Nigeria’s leading
brand in Home Appliances and Consumer Electronics has launched into the
Nigerian market, 5-star rated frost-free Evercool Smart Inverter
Refrigerator which can be powered with inverter, solar panels or
generator ensuring that cooling is not in any way interrupted during
power cuts.
The event which held at LG Brand store in Ogba- Lagos was aimed at
meeting the needs of Nigerian consumers distressed by constant power cuts who
feel the need to have fresher foods
as well as innovative technologies and products.
The LG Evercool Smart Inverter
Refrigerator comes with the
Inverter-ON mode feature which is automatically activated during power cut. The
working
Mechanism of “Inverter-On” is based on MICOM
(mini-computer) which automatically detects the change of input voltage from
Power-Cut and converts Normal Mode to “Inverter-On” Mode. Inverter-On mode automatically adjusts the temperature
for both fridge & freezer compartment slightly higher to use the battery
longer by consuming less energy.
Speaking at the event, Managing Director, LG
Electronics West Africa operations, Mr. Seonghak Kim said: for us at LG
Electronics We are excited to be unveiling the much awaited LG Evercool Inverter Smart 2.0 Refrigerator
specifically designed for the Nigerian market with its inverter compatibility
technology to keep food fresh even during power outages. The new Smart inverter
compressor refrigerator fully meets international standards and is indeed one
of the most advanced and energy efficient compressors you can find anywhere in
the world”.
More than 1 billion tons of food is wasted annually in
Africa due to poor storage facilities and
limited cold storage. Owing to the fact that Evercool smart inverter
refrigerator can optimize and keep the temperature lower during a power cut, LG
Evercool refrigerator is capable of saving users money as it reduces unwanted
food wastage as it can work during power cut. Although there are misconceptions about the use of Inverter with
refrigerator as many believe it will consume more electricity as well as
dramatically shorten the battery life, with the Inverter-ON mode in the
Evercool Smart Inverter Refrigerator. It guarantees longer battery running time and optimum energy saving.
In his address General Manager, Home
Appliances Division, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr Hyunwoo Jung
disclosed: “Power supply in Nigeria is unstable. With an
average blackout time of 8 hours, most people own inverter, solar panels or
generators to ensure uninterrupted power during power cuts.
When
power goes out the LG Evercool Smart Inverter Refrigerator activates
“Inverter-On” mode; this ensures that cooling is
not interrupted in anyways. This
consumer-oriented mindset has been at the heart of our success from inception. LG Evercool Smart Inverter Refrigerator has
come to solve the problem faced by households as a result of the constant power
outage that is the reality in Nigeria
today. It sets a new standard in the industry and help make lives smarter and

with a feature known as Low Voltage Start-ability (LVS) and High voltage safe
(HVS); LG LVS prevents the compressor from
excessively low voltage or high voltage supply; Owing to this, the refrigerator
performs efficiently even in very low or very high voltage conditions even as low as 90V and as high as 300V.
The LVS and HVS feature ensures that food stays frozen without an additional
cost of purchasing a stabilizer. Strengthened by the New Smart Inverter
Compressor; LG Evercool Smart Inverter Refrigerator offers up to 36% more
energy efficient than 3 star rated Refrigerators.
Taking a revolutionary leap in compressor technology, the
new smart inverter compressor is one of the most advanced and energy efficient
compressor. The compressor automatically adjusts its compressor speed in
response to cooling demand as per the quantity of food kept inside the
refrigerator. Another benefit of the inverter compressor is that it keeps noise to a minimum level
which leads to lesser power consumption. There is reduction in wear and tear on
the compressor for greater durability of 10 year.
