LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing their latest products at ISH 2023, which is the world's leading trade fair for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). Among the new products are the Therma V™ R290 Monobloc and Therma V R32 Split 4 & 6 kilowatt (kW) air source heat pumps (ASHP).
The Therma V R290 Monobloc features R290 refrigerant, which has an exceptionally low Global Warming Potential (GWP). The Therma V R32 Split 4 & 6kW models are energy- and space-efficient, making them ideal for smaller spaces and newly constructed homes.
LG's Therma V R290 Monobloc utilizes R290 refrigerant, which has a GWP of only three, to comply with future refrigerant regulations set to take effect in Europe in 2025. In addition to its impressive environmental credentials, the Monobloc boasts a sleek design that blends seamlessly with any home or building exterior. The inner workings of the system are hidden behind an elegant black grill that resembles undulating waves. The unit's top, bottom, and sides are finished in a sophisticated grey tone that complements most colors.
The Therma V R290 Monobloc is also convenient to manage, thanks to its remote service feature. Customers can easily receive software updates and installer settings via remote support, providing a hassle-free user experience. LG's Building Energy Control (BECON) cloud offers remote system diagnosis.
LG's newest addition to its Therma V R32 Split lineup, the Therma V R32 Split 4 & 6kW series, is also being showcased at ISH 2023. These models are more compact and lighter in weight than their predecessors, making them an excellent choice for smaller spaces. Since they have smaller capacities, they require less refrigerant to operate, which exempts them from minimum floor area requirements. This translates to greater design flexibility and easier installation.
Customers can choose between the Hydro Box or Integrated Water Tank (IWT) models, depending on their preferences. The Hydro Box model has an extra-small footprint, while the all-in-one IWT model removes the need for a separate water tank.
“Utilizing low-GWP refrigerants, LG’s new Therma V R290 Monobloc and Therma V R32 Split 4 & 6kW series help our customers to be better prepared for the future,” said James Lee, head of the Air Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to apply low-GWP refrigerants to our heating solutions while improving performance and convenience as well as offering a wider range of products for commercial and residential applications.”
Visitors to LG's ISH 2023 exhibition booth (E69, 12.1 Hall, Messe Frankfurt) can experience the new Therma V R290 Monobloc and Therma V R32 Split 4 & 6kW series.
