Showcasing HVAC Ingenuity at the Pro Partner Conference

At the expo, we were able to showcase a wide variety of motors and compressors, with a special focus on four of our most innovative components.

The recently launched high-efficiency R1 compressor is part of that inventive wave pushing the industry forward, with new vapor compression technology that acts as a fusion between rotary and scroll technology. The R1 compressor is rethinking compression as a whole, focusing on mid-range to reduce vibration and increase efficiency overall. With increased stability, lighter weight and having been tested in harsh environments, the R1 compressor is ready for residential and commercial applications.

By operating at 2 capacities, the LG 2-stage scroll compressor can function in savings mode in moderate environments and in power mode in high demand situations, running longer and more efficiently than its single stage counterpart. The wrap design optimizes volume ratio while its bypass ports maximize compression ratios by opening and closing depending on stage. We’ve also placed a weather-resistant solenoid valve on the exterior of the unit to make repairs and service easier for technicians.

With a focus on reliability and performance, we designed Gen 3 scroll compressors with significant improvements to truly bring the future to the present. Improvements include upgrades to scroll geometry, motor performance and bearings designed to reduce friction which allow for the highest efficiency in LG’s fixed speed scroll line-up for cooling and heating applications. Compared to previous scroll compressors, Gen 3 has attained superior dependability and durability through upgraded start-up and bushing performance.

LG's ECM is a powerful, high-performing motor created with the reliability of a company that’s been building electric motors since 1962. With an improved magnetic flux concentration and powerful motor platform that boasts a capacity of 1/3 to 1HP, LG’s ECM is the reliable and high-performing choice for condensing units, air handlers, furnaces, and many more applications.
