LG UNVEILS CUTTING-EDGE WATER SOLUTIONS ENABLED BY ADVANCED HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY

Expanded Water Solutions Portfolio at AHR Expo 2024 Underscores LG's Commitment to Providing Solutions that Maximize Efficiency and Promote Decarbonization

CHICAGO, Jan. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA is expanding its line of cutting-edge heat-pump-enabled HVAC water products at AHR Expo 2024. LG's growing assortment of water solutions highlights the company's dedication to delivering products that redefine comfort, prioritize energy efficiency and champion sustainability for residential and commercial applications.

Featured at AHR Expo 2024 (booth #S8345), the LG R32 Air-to-Water Heat Pump Monobloc system is the latest addition to the company's water heating product lineup. This all-in-one unit provides ease of installation by seamlessly integrating indoor and hydronic components, using water pipes to eliminate the need for refrigerant piping. Powered by LG's advanced heat pump technology, the R32 Air-to-Water Heat Pump Monobloc efficiently produces hot water for various applications, including space heating (baseboard heating, radiator, radiant floor) and domestic hot water. Incorporated noise reduction technology, such as an encapsulated compressor and vibration decoupling, operates at audio levels as low as 49B at a 1m distance.

LG's R32 Air-to-Water Heat Pump Monobloc is engineered for year-round comfort, operating within versatile leaving water temperature ranges, covering cooling (41 to 80.6°F), heating (59 to 149°F), and domestic hot water (59-176°F) with a third-party booster heater. The unit maintains 100 percent heating capacity, even at 5°F outdoor temperature, with leaving temperature at 131°F, providing optimal performance in colder conditions. The product sets a new standard in HVAC innovation with reduced defrost cycles, extended operation time and intervals, providing a transformative experience in climate control for residential and light commercial spaces.

In addition to the LG R32 Air-to-Water Heat Pump Monobloc, LG maintains a robust lineup of advanced water solutions that exceed expectations in eco-conscious practices and technology. Developed to meet the evolving demand for electric alternatives, LG's water products specifically prioritize efficiency, offering cost savings through reduced energy consumption, streamlined performance, and enhanced comfort by optimizing heat and cooling retention and distribution.

"As the landscape of commercial and residential spaces undergoes a dynamic shift, LG's HVAC solutions keep pace with the industry's demand for quieter, more intuitive, and more eco-conscious options," said Steve Scarbrough, senior vice president and general manager, LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA. "Embracing electrification, LG remains committed to delivering a vibrant array of products, ensuring cleaner and more efficient heating and cooling experiences.
