LG Expands Availability of Next-Gen Air-Cooled Inverter Scroll Chiller With R32 Refrigerant
LG Electronics is expanding the global availability of its latest air-cooled Inverter Scroll Chiller, a next-generation HVAC solution that supports the worldwide shift toward low-Global Warming Potential refrigerants and sustainable technologies. The new model adopts R32 refrigerant, which has a GWP approximately 70% lower than R410A.
Designed as an inverter-driven heat pump system, the chiller delivers both chilled and hot water, making it suitable for mid-sized commercial buildings requiring reliable thermal management throughout the year. The new Inverter Scroll Chiller is designed to provide exceptional energy efficiency under a variety of operating conditions. Powered by LG’s All-Inverter compressor, which operates across a wide frequency range (30Hz to 120Hz), it offers high performance and reduced energy consumption even under partial load.
LG’s High Pressure Oil Return system enhances compressor efficiency by returning oil directly into the compression chamber, significantly reducing energy loss. Select models also feature heat exchangers optimized for a broad water outlet temperature range, from 14 F to 140 F, offering flexibility for diverse applications.
To support uninterrupted operation under demanding conditions, the system includes features such as compressor backup, intelligent control logic and sequential defrost. It also supports hot water output up to 140 F, helping suppress Legionella bacteria growth and contributing to hygienic operation in facilities such as spas, hotels and hospitals. For added durability in coastal or humid regions, the heat exchanger is treated with LG’s corrosion-resistant Black Fin coating.
