50 Years of Technology Concentration by Gidulami

An indoor tennis court that encompasses 50 years of Kiturami’s heating, cooling, and air conditioning technology is officially opening. On the 10th, Kiturami Group announced the opening of ‘Kiturami Clean Tennis 13’ in Gocheok-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, featuring state-of-the-art ventilation, combined heat and power generation, and heating and cooling systems.

Kiturami has newly established eight international standard, multi-level indoor courts with a total floor area of 10,000㎡ (about 3,000 pyeong), and plans to operate ‘Kiturami Clean Tennis 13’ year-round with a total of 13 courts by adding the existing three indoor and two outdoor courts opened in 2017.

Kiturami Clean Tennis 13 is equipped with Kiturami Group’s cutting-edge ventilation, power generation, and heating and cooling systems, including ▲floor ventilation system ▲micro combined heat and power generation ▲reverse ECO condensing medium cascade ▲Century oil-free turbo refrigeration unit, allowing players to enjoy exercise in a comfortable environment throughout all four seasons.

The floor ventilation system handles dust falling from tennis balls through suction ports installed under the net and on the wall floors. The ventilation system installed at the top of the tennis courts continuously supplies fresh air from outside to maintain a pleasant indoor environment. Additionally, the combined heat and power generation system produces electricity at the tennis courts to supply lighting and ventilation facilities, while utilizing waste heat generated during power production for heating and cooling. The reverse ECO condensing medium cascade system connects multiple eco-friendly, high-efficiency boilers to supply large-capacity hot water and heating within the facility.

Kiturami Clean Tennis 13 features spectator seats that can accommodate over 1,000 people, along with rest areas and convenience facilities. To systematically nurture promising tennis players and promote recreational sports, Kiturami plans to operate various lesson programs such as the ‘Youth Tennis Academy’ by recruiting six professional instructors led by Coach Kim Young-hwan, a former national team coach.

A Kiturami Group official stated, “Although the number of tennis players in Korea is estimated to be about 600,000 and the popularity of tennis as a recreational sport is rapidly increasing, the related infrastructure is still insufficient. In particular, to expand the base of tennis, it is essential to supply indoor tennis courts where people can play regardless of the weather throughout the year. Therefore, we have significantly expanded the existing Clean Tennis courts and newly launched Kiturami Clean Tennis 13.”
