 [INQ. NO. 2406E03] SHINIL, which started as a small motor manufacturer in 1959, is a company that has taken the lead in popularizing electric fans in Korea by producing electric fans based on its excellent motor technology.
SHINIL’s recently released its air circulator S10, which is evaluated as a product that accurately understands consumer needs.
Air circulator S10 is equipped with a state-of-the-art BLDC motor that produces high efficiency with low power, producing powerful yet quiet wind. In particular, the ultra-saving power consumption of about 1.6W based on lowest wind strength mode can lower the burden of electricity bills. Eco mode, which detects external temperature with a temperature sensor and automatically adjusts wind speed, prevents unnecessary power waste.

S10 comes in two types ― regular and cube ― so one can choose according to one’s own preference. The cube type has a differentiated cube-shaped design, giving it a clean and modern appearance, and thus making it an excellent interior product. In addition, it can be operated with various voice commands such as ‘Turn on the fan,’ ‘Raise the wind speed,’ and ‘Find the remote control’ ― making it easier to use without the need to operate the remote control separately.
A spokesperson for the company explained “We are very happy that our circulators, along with the new product launched this time, are receiving a great response from consumers,” adding, “We will continue to introduce more practical cooling home appliances through continuous technological innovation.”
SHINIL, with 60 years of history, produces and sells a wide range of products such as fans, heating appliances, and household kitchen appliances.

Air Ventilation System

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2406E12] HIMPEL Co. Ltd., as an indoor air quality (IAQ) specialist company, manufactures excellent ventilation products to enable healthy indoor life by supplying healthy and comfortable air, with the mission of ‘contributing to human health through air and energy technology.’
HIMPEL, selected by a government agency as a company with excellent quality competitiveness, is a leading ventilation company and is expanding its market, building a wide range of delivery performance and the best professional networks — not only with consumers but also with excellent domestic construction companies.

Customized air solutions
Huven C is a customized air solution that provides comfortable and clean air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. It removes bad indoor air and fills the space with fresh air, creating a comfortable and healthy living space where one can always breathe comfortably.

Purifying the outside air & bringing it in
While air purifiers continuously circulate and recycle indoor air, HIMPEL’s Huven C ventilation system exhausts polluted indoor air to the outside, and cleanly purifies the air from outside and draws it in.
Purifying indoor air has the disadvantage of not being able to improve carbon dioxide levels, so that is why fresh air from outside must be introduced.
To lower carbon dioxide levels, one needs to open windows and ventilate, but there are disadvantages to doing this, such as allowing in fine dust, pollen, and causing energy loss. If natural ventilation is difficult, one can use Huven C to mechanically ventilate and filter out impurities in the air, while conserving indoor energy through a waste heat recovery device.

Hybrid Dehumidifying Air Conditioner

June 25, 2024 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2406E07] Paseco has released a new-concept ‘hybrid dehumidifying air conditioner’ that can be used both indoors and outdoors. Its outstanding feature is that you can enjoy cooling and dehumidifying functions anywhere as long as you have power.
Paseco, which brought about innovation in the summer home appliance market by introducing the first vertical window-type air conditioner in Korea in 2019, is expecting that this product will create another breath of fresh air.
The newly introduced hybrid dehumidifying air conditioner is a product that simultaneously dehumidifies and strongly blows cool air of 10 degrees C. It solves the shortcomings of existing dehumidifiers that blow hot air, by instead allowing one to feel cool even while dehumidifying. It is equipped with a 5-liter sliding water tank that is as large as a large-capacity dehumidifier, and has a dehumidifying capacity of up to 24 liters that is not inferior to general dehumidifiers.
The method of use is also simple. It is recommended that users just attach the air conditioner body to the ‘dehumidifying air conditioner kit’ that functions as a water tank of the dehumidifier. It has wheels for easy movement, and the installed water-level sensor automatically stops operation when the water-level is full.
While other existing portable air conditioners required installation and can only be used in limited spaces, the hybrid dehumidifying air conditioner can be easily moved anywhere in the house without installation.
The built-in dual inverter air conditioner has a powerful cooling capacity of 1800W, and the AI system recognizes the internal temperature and humidity, and automatically controls the drying time. If you purchase a window-type kit, it can also be used as a window-type air conditioner.
The advantage is that it can be used outside the house when using the camping kit. After attaching the cooling air duct, which is a basic component of the camping kit, to the wind-direction control unit, you can activate the camping mode created with the company’s own unique technology. It operates at a low power of 500W in camping mode, so it can be used without installation or power problems in campsites, outdoor work sites, event sites, guard posts, logistics warehouses, etc.
Unlike existing camping air conditioners that remove hot air inside, this product blows cold air inside from the outside. Because the operating heat of the device is not reflected in the internal air, and it does not take up any space. With the IPX 4 waterproof function, you don’t have to worry about raining, and it comes with a foldable cart, making it convenient to carry when moving outdoors.
A spokesperson for the company explained, “We have introduced a new-concept product with our know-how in producing cooling appliances and camping equipment,” adding, “We are confident that consumers will respond enthusiastically to this product as it can be expected to perform both as an air conditioner and a dehumidifier, which are essential summer appliances for both indoors and outdoors.”

Air Fryer

June 25, 2024 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2406E06] CUCHEN Co., Ltd., a kitchen appliance company, recently announced that it has launched the 5L electronic air fryer that allows one to easily cook unique dishes every day with 10 automatic recipe functions.
This new product, which comes with a touch-type control panel, features improved cooking functions and convenience with an ‘automatic recipe mode,’ and a ‘user memory system’ that improves cooking quality.
First, it provides a total of 10 automatic recipes, including convenience foods such as French fries, wings, chicken legs, croissants, sweet potatoes, pork belly, muffins, shrimp, steak, ribs, etc. Cooking begins once the user selects the desired menu using the touch control panel located at the top of the product and presses the start button.

The tight, high-speed air-circulation system cooks the food evenly in a short period of time, while retaining moisture. Additionally, it has a function that automatically lowers the temperature after a certain period of time, making the dish crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
In addition to the saved settings, the automatic recipe menu can additionally adjust time and temperature to suit the user’s preference. If you execute an operation after additional operation, the recipe is carried out at the previously set time and temperature using the user memory system built into the product for future cooking, making it convenient to use.
The cooking temperature range can be set widely from 40˚C to 200˚C, making it possible to not only lightly heat food, but also to cook at low temperatures. The temperature is controlled in units of 10 degrees, and it also has a separate defrosting function, making it useful for defrosting or cooking various frozen foods such as convenience foods. Cooking time can be set in 1-minute increments up to 60 minutes.
The air fryer released by Cuchen is equipped with a square basket that allows efficient use of space. It can make a generous amount, enough to feed a family of four or more, and the transparent window on the basket allows one to check the cooking process from outside, making it convenient to use. Another advantage is that the integrated basket is easy to clean and maintain.

The exterior design that enhances the kitchen atmosphere and the product design with safety in mind also attract attention. The new product has a simple and minimalist design and an ivory color that blends in naturally wherever it is placed. The air fryer’s handle with an ergonomic design not only provides excellent grip, but is also made of heat-resistant material to prevent the risk of burns. An air outlet was included on the back of the product to allow hot air to escape, taking into consideration the safety of customers who use kitchen appliances close to a wall.
A spokesperson for the company explained, “This new product features an automatic recipe mode, a user memory system, and a top touch control panel that enhances cooking functions and ease of use, allowing people of all ages and genders to enjoy unique and customized dishes,” adding, “We will be introducing a lineup of small home appliances with enhanced details for convenient use.”
