LG Electronics (LG) will this year roll out new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ( HVAC) solutions to meet increased consumer needs amidst the ongoing climate change conditions.
Showcased earlier this year at the AHR Expo 2023, the U.S.’s largest HVAC event, taking place in Atlanta, the new high-efficiency solutions will be customized for commercial and residential applications.
The solutions included Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, higher energy-efficient heat pumps, indoor air quality solutions, and flexible building automation and connectivity products.
Speaking while making the announcement, head of the Air Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company James Lee said, “As LG, we will continue to introduce advanced HVAC solutions designed to maximize customer value and expand our presence to the global air conditioning market. Besides, these new solutions allow us to move the world away from fossil fuels and towards cleaner heating and cooling solutions, such as those from the extensive line of efficient, high-performance”.
As the year unfolds, one of the key solutions to be rolled out is the LG Multi V™ i, an all-electric VRF cooling and heating solution equipped with the company’s AI Engine. The latest Multi V also boasts Edge computing architecture, intelligent operation based on real-time weather conditions, and remote software and firmware upgradability.
A next-generation VRF system, the Multi V i has a single refrigerant circuit that makes it possible to connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit. Additionally, it provides options that help maximize energy efficiency and minimize operational costs, and is suitable for a wide range of commercial applications. Offering engineers and building owners outstanding flexibility in terms of performance and design, the Multi V i is available in capacities from 6 to 44 tons and can be used in single or dual-frame modular configurations.
Another solution is LG’s Inverter Scroll Heat Pump Chiller which raises the standard for solutions in the air-cooled chiller category. The LG Inverter Scroll Heat Pump Chiller is designed for cooling and heating.
With an impressive integrated part load value (IPLV)1 of 19.46, LG’s chiller can be used in many sectors for many types of use scenarios, providing a reliable mechanical solution for both large- and small-capacity applications.
The Inverter Scroll Heat Pump Chiller’s performance and versatility can be attributed to several key components, including LG’s inverter technology, which enables a precise and efficient response to load demand and industry-leading low-ambient, high-efficiency heating. What’s more, a modular design allows system engineers to install the chiller using a two- or four-pipe configuration to provide simultaneous cooling and heating functionality without sacrificing efficiency or performance.
An AHR 2022 Innovation Award winner in the ventilation category, the LG Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) is a commercial ventilation system that also delivers effective dehumidification, cooling and heating. Able to control the temperature and humidity of the air inside a building or facility, DOAS comes equipped with a dual heat recovery system that minimizes energy loss. Meanwhile, the LG Therma V™ Air to Water Heat Pump (AWHP) solution provides efficient, dependable heating, cooling, and hot water supply, and is an excellent replacement for a domestic-use gas boiler.
Using the company’s smart home platform, the LG ThinQ™ app, customers can remotely control and monitor their LG HVAC residential solutions and LG home appliances. And through LG ThinQ Smart Diagnosis, they can maintain the performance of their LG products and make direct inquiries to LG system experts should the need arise.
