Throughout the exhibition, we introduced several of our key solutions designed to improve indoor comfort, operational efficiency, and indoor air quality.

Products Showcased at the Exhibition

During the event, we presented a range of HVAC solutions that reflect our ongoing commitment to product development and customer needs.

CU/CHU Series Heat Pump

We proudly showcase our CU/CHU Series heat pump. These standard heat pump systems are available in both single-zone and multi-zone configurations, providing flexible solutions to meet diverse residential needs.

Equipped with Coanda Airflow technology, the system delivers airflow of up to 50 feet (15 meters), ensuring consistent comfort throughout the space. The CU/CHU Series is engineered to provide reliable heating and cooling performance, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of residential applications.

Airest — Heat Pump with Advanced Filtration Technology

One of the key highlights of our booth was Airest, a heat pump equipped with MERV 14 certified filters designed to improve indoor air quality by capturing fine dust and airborne particles.

We were grateful to receive recognition for this product, as Airest was awarded the AHR Innovation Award in the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) category during the exhibition.

This recognition reflects our continued efforts to develop solutions that support healthier indoor environments.

Filtersweep — Heat Pump with Automatic Filter Sweeping System

We also introduced Filtersweep, a heat pump equipped with an automatic filter sweeping mechanism. This feature helps maintain airflow performance and reduce maintenance frequency by automatically removing dust accumulated on the filter surface.

AHA! — Air History Analyzer Application

In addition to our HVAC equipment lineup, we presented AHA! (Air History Analyzer), an Android application developed to support service technicians by improving maintenance efficiency and reducing troubleshooting time.

The application analyzes operational history data from HVAC systems, enabling service personnel to quickly identify potential issues and better understand system performance. This functionality helps streamline maintenance work and supports more efficient service operations in the field.

Demonstrating Airest Performance Through a Smoke Removal Test

To help visitors better understand the effectiveness of our filtration technology, we conducted a live smoke removal demonstration at our booth.

In this demonstration, two glass boxes were filled with smoke. One box contained our Airest unit, while the other contained a conventional heat pump. Both systems were operated simultaneously to compare their smoke removal performance.

As a result, Airest was able to remove the smoke more quickly than the conventional unit, clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of its high-performance filtration system.

This demonstration helped visitors visually understand the benefits of improved indoor air quality technology in a simple and practical way.

Demonstrating Airest Performance Through a Smoke Removal Test

At the trade show, we had the opportunity to connect directly with our customers and partners. Through these interactions, we were able to learn from our customers about our products, including areas where we can further improve quality and performance.

We also listened to valuable suggestions and identified customer needs that will support our future product development efforts. These insights will help us continue to enhance our products and deliver solutions that better meet market expectations.

We would like to sincerely thank all customers and partners who visited our booth at the AHR Expo 2026 and took the time to communicate with us. Your feedback, interest, and continued support are greatly appreciated and play an important role in helping us improve our products and services.

Looking Ahead

Participating in the AHR Expo 2026 was a valuable learning experience for our team. It allowed us to showcase our technologies, receive meaningful feedback, and better understand the needs of customers and partners in the HVAC industry.

We will continue to develop solutions that improve indoor air quality, enhance system performance, and deliver reliable comfort to customers around the world.

We look forward to continuing this valuable experience at upcoming events, including the AHR Expo 2027 in Chicago.
