AHR Expo 2024: Cold Temps Outside, Hot Components Inside

With a theme of “Tomorrow, Together” the LG Compressors and Motors booth was redesigned for the expo this year and positioned next to the CAC booth for maximum exposure and complimentary discussions of interested parties. The new booth design focused on showcasing all of the relevant compressors and motors available to the North American market.

Our Sales and Quality engineers were in attendance along with staff from LG headquarters in Seoul to greet visitors and have substantive conversations about the products. Also of interest was LG’s new manufacturing plant being built in Mexico to better serve North American customers.

The biggest product highlight for the expo was the introduction of the tandem compressor for commercial applications. In addition to its big capacity of 12-24 tons, this newest offer has impressed the attendees.

Designed to easily integrate into a manufacturer’s assembly line, the tandem compressor comes as two separate units that can then be connected together through tubing by the OEM depending on their layout of components. This approach allows for a variety of flexible configurations by the manufacturer as needed.

In addition to the new tandem compressor for the commercial segment, there were plenty of displays featuring LG’s compressors for residential as well. Our current lineup of the Gen 3 single stage scroll compressor, 2-stage scroll compressor and R1 variable compressors were all featured for attendees and prospective partners to get up close and personal with them.

LG’s history of innovation continues to find new ways of improving efficiency and power in its compressor products while still maintaining OEM compatibility in a variety of applications.

LG’s EC and BLDC motors were on display again at the event this year. The LG ECM is the reliable and high-performing choice for condensing units, air handlers, furnaces, and many more applications.

LG has developed the Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) concentrating on the magnetic flux which is designed to maximize output power with the same size shell as compared to the conventional motors. It can also deliver constant airflow for units in the residential HVAC market, providing a more comfortable environment for customers in their homes.
