LG Electronics (LG) showcased its new compressors in the Component Solutions booth at AHR Expo 2023 this month.
The Gen 3 Scroll Compressors have been designed to meet the latest efficiency standardsand offer improvement in terms of motor efficiency and friction reduction. LG's most efficient single-speed products to date, the new compressors are made with residential and commercial use in mind, and are perfect for both air conditioners and heat pumps.
The new compressors utilize eco-responsible low-GWP refrigerants, R454B and R32. Unlike the more commonly used R410A, which has a GWP of around 2,088, the refrigerants employed by the company's latest models have a GWP lower than 750.
LG is launching its compressors with low-GWP refrigerants to pre-emptively respond to refrigerant regulations that will come into force in 2025.
LG also showcased its large-capacity scroll compressors for commercial HVAC applications. Among these are 6- to 12-tonne capacity models from the new, fixed-stage single line-up that can be used in tandem to provide a capacity of up to 24 tonnes, and LG's two-stage compressor products, which offer efficient operation and larger capacities.
