LG Electronics Launches the Brand-New Line Up for Single Commercial Air Conditioners
As the
leader in the HVAC industry, LG Electronics (LG) recently held a press
conference at Solaire to formally introduce the brand-new 2020 line up for single
commercial air conditioners (CAC).
Air-conditioning is integral to everyday life in the Philippines, owing to
the tropical climate that can get blazing hot at times. However, according to
the Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), electricity
in the Philippines ranks a lowly 92nd globally, meaning the price of
electricity is very high. This makes air-conditioning not feasible for some
households due to the costs involved. Recognizing this issue, LG, by applying
innovative technology, has achieved a high-efficiency and cost-effective
solution in the brand-new line up for single CAC.
LG’s brand-new line up for single CAC, which are perfect for restaurants, small and medium-sized stores, and small and medium-sized
offices, include the Floor Standing, the Ceiling Mounted Cassette, the 1 Way
Ceiling Cassette, the Ceiling Suspended, and the Ceiling Concealed Duct. To
attain high-efficiency and cost-effectiveness, the products are rigged with
LG’s revolutionary R1 CompressorTM and Smart
Inverter.
The compressor used in the new line up is an LG-exclusive R1 Compressor
with a shaft-through bottom compression structure. With its innovative
technology, the R1 Compressor has resolved the endemic problem of a relatively
low efficiency in the widely used rotary compressor and improves the tiling
motion of scroll. By virtue of the compressor, it lowers the noise to 4dB and
reduces its weight by 20%.
In comparison to other companies’ line up for single CAC, which is operated
with a non-inverter compressor, all of LG’s CAC is operated with the inverters.
With the LG Smart Inverter, the annual price of electricity is expected to
decline by 25% compared to an on/off model. Likewise, users can receive quick
return on investment within 20 months by virtue of energy savings. Moreover, it
enables air flow to cool in a long distance. Since the Floor Standing unit can
reach up to 20 meters, it makes it possible to cool a room even though it is
far from the unit. Furthermore, a five-step air cleaning feature reduces
maintenance costs and makes upkeep simple and fuss-free. In terms of
performance, it has a wide operation range as low as -15°C and as
high as 48°C outdoor temperature.
After announcing the brand-new line up for single CAC, LG also introduced the
Dual Vane Cassette, an upgraded version of the 4 Way Ceiling Cassette, and the Round
Cassette which raised expectations and set the bar high. These products will be
launched in the second quarter of 2020 after launching single CAC.
The conventional 4 Way Ceiling Cassette is equipped with four vanes, so it
used to offer air flow in four ways. However, LG also introduced the Dual Vane
Cassette which is equipped with innovative dual vane technology. Since the Dual
Vane Cassette has eight vanes, it manages air flow more precisely and provides
optimized air flow for users. Also, the Dual Vane Cassette allows users to
choose six different modes, including three patented ones. Thus, it offers the
best air flow over various spaces.
With a premium round design, the Round Cassette provides perfect circular
air flow without any blind spot by minimizing junctions whereas a conventional
round cassette has three outlets to provide three-way air flow with blind
spots. In addition to that, unlike other brands’ round cassettes which controls
wind direction in three steps, LG’s Round Cassette is equipped with crystal
vanes, enabling the user to control the direction in six steps. Moreover, the 3D
fan increases air flow rate by 5% while lowering noise. With a larger air flow
rate, cooling rate becomes 30% faster.
“Last year, sales of LG Electronics in the Philippines have grown
significantly and HVAC business was an important part of it,” said Inkwun Heo,
Managing Director of LG Electronics in the Philippines. “LG’s HVAC Division
will continue to develop the world’s best HVAC for contributing to conserve the
environment as well as creating better living conditions for everyone.”
