Kyung Dong Navien showcases HVAC expansion at Korea heating and cooling expo

Kyung Dong Navien is participating in the Korea International HVAC&R Expo (HARFKO 2026) to demonstrate its expansion beyond boilers and water heaters into the broader heating, ventilation and air conditioning business. The company will unveil products targeting the North American market — including a condensing hydro furnace and heat pump — alongside domestic air-source boilers, commercial equipment and lifestyle air products.

The expo runs from Wednesday through Friday at Kintex in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Organized by the Korea Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association, this year's event centers on the future of the HVAC industry through AI and Internet of Things technology.

Kyung Dong Navien has divided its exhibition space into three zones: an HVAC zone, a Commercial zone and a Life Air zone, covering energy-efficient heating and cooling technology, commercial equipment, and residential air quality management products, respectively.

The HVAC zone features the Navien HVAC System, which the company is positioning for the North American market. Built around a condensing hydro furnace, the system can be paired with a heat pump air conditioner or a condensing hydro air conditioner. It selectively switches between an electric-based heat pump and a gas-based furnace depending on outdoor temperature and operating conditions, improving overall energy efficiency.

The Commercial zone introduces the NFB700-C, a commercial condensing gas boiler. It incorporates condensing technology that recycles exhaust heat and a stainless steel heat exchanger certified to American Society of Mechanical Engineers standards, boosting thermal efficiency and durability.

The Life Air zone showcases a dehumidifying ventilation air purifier that integrates dehumidification, ventilation and air purification functions, along with kitchen and bathroom products. The Magic Plus dehumidifying ventilation air purifier links automatically with the Navien Magic 3D air hood to manage cooking fumes and odors. Also on display are the Navien BathCare — which offers dehumidification, warm air, drying and exhaust functions — and a kitchen appliance whose hood airflow adjusts automatically to match induction cooktop output.

Kyung Dong Navien has been leveraging its expertise in the North American condensing water heater market to expand into furnaces, air conditioners and heat pumps. At this expo, the company is presenting its HVAC, commercial and lifestyle air product lines together, signaling its strategic direction toward becoming a comprehensive HVAC solutions provider.
