"LG continues to develop HVAC solutions to meet the unique requirements of hospitality settings and multi-room properties, especially as demand for more effective, targeted temperature control increases and operators seek smarter, more energy efficient solutions to satisfy guest needs," said Kevin McNamara, vice president, Commercial Air Conditioning, LG Electronics USA. "Our broad new PTAC lineup responds to market demand for a higher efficiency solution, which was previously generally available through expensive energy management systems, while further enhancing performance, quality and reliability with core components designed and built by LG." 

Industry differentiators for the new product line include an updated compressor – designed and manufactured by LG – for higher efficiency levels, combined with Dual Brushless Digitally Controlled (BLDC) motors on interior and exterior of unit and an innovative cross flow fan to further increase performance levels with decreased noise levels.

With sound pressure ratings as low as 45 dBA (IDU) and 61 dBA (ODU), PTAC models from LG greatly reduce both in-room and exterior noise levels compared with traditional multi-room HVAC systems. 

LG's PTAC portfolio incorporates a range of additional benefits for hotel operators, facility managers and service technicians, including: 

• Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Ceramic heaters for safer and more effective heat distribution, without emitting common odors associated with heaters manufactured using alternate materials (available on 208V-230V models)
