SEOUL, Nov. 6 (Yonhap) — LG Electronics Co., South Korea’s second-largest home appliance manufacturer, announced Monday that it has teamed up with universities in Alaska to develop high-performance heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) products that can work well in extremely cold weather.
The firm said it has set up a consortium with the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Alaska Fairbanks to form a joint research and development center for HVAC products.
The centers will be located on the campuses of both universities. LG plans to put heat pump heating and cooling systems in the spaces to conduct various tests.
LG said it aims to improve the overall quality and dependability of HVAC products by replicating extreme cold conditions.
