Single Zone Systems

Single zone wall mounted extended piping 

systems are equipped with inverter com-

ponents that offer superior load matching 

and long piping installation. The product 

works for optimizing power consumption in 

residential and small office buildings. Utiliz-

ing multiple indoor wall mount units each 

with custom temperature controls allow for 

precise temperature settings in each zone 

of the building. Single zone systems allow 

flexibility in interior design and complement 

any decor.

Low Sound Levels

When outdoor units operate fully loaded,they 

have one of the quietest sound levels in 

the industry. Sound is almost undetectable 

during off-peak operation. To promote a 

quiet, comfortable environment, the single 

zone system indoor units operate at sound 

levels as low as 37 dB(A) and outdoor units 

as low as 55 dB(A) at full load. LG custom-

ers often ask if the outdoor unit is running 

after commissioning is complete. All rotating 

components are soft-started by the control-

ler using digitally controlled inverters, which 

reduce undesirable noise caused by fans 

and compressors cycling on and off.

Comfort Control at Its 

Best

Tight temperature control through precise 

load matching maximizes the time that 

the indoor units remove moisture. Unlike 

traditional air conditioning control systems, 

which use thermostatic controls to maintain 

room temperatures, LG single zone Inverter 

controls continuously adjust the indoor unit 

fan speed and refrigerant flow, indirectly pro-

viding lower and more consistent humidity 

levels in the conditioned space. The longer 

the indoor coil temperature is below the 

dew-point of the room in conjunction with air 

movement across the coil, the space humid-

ity level will vary little, compared to technolo-

gies that cycle fans and compressors on and 

off multiple times per hour. The outdoor unit 

responds by varying the compressor speed 

and outdoor fan motors as needed to main-

tain system operating pressure. As a result, 

the single zone systems deliver precise 

space temperature control.

Inverter Driven

The twin rotary compressors are optimized 

to maximize compressor efficiency, which 

reduces power consumption and monthly 

utility bills. This latest inverter technology 

allows single zone system outdoor units to 

vary the compressor motor shaft speed to 

deliver an appropriate amount of cooling to 

the indoor unit. Precise refrigerant volume 

delivery translates into long periods with coil 

surface temperatures below dew point and  

minimizes compressor and fan component 

run time. Occupants remain comfortable 

while utility costs are reduced.

Simplified Installation

Cooling and heating applications that use 

single zone systems simplify and reduce 

the mechanical and control system design 

time. The designer no longer has to be 

concerned with interconnecting chilled and 

condenser water piping, air-distribution duct 

systems,matching and selecting chillers, 

towers,pumps, coils, fans, air handlers, or 

Variable Air Volume (VAV) boxes.

Operating Range

Single zone systems have a nominal capac-

ity range of 2 to 2-3/4 tons (depending on 

outdoor/indoor units). 

Operating ranges for single zone systems:

Cooling: 14°F DB to 118°F DB

Heating: -4°F WB to 65°F WB

Installing an optional Low Ambient Wind 

Baffle Kit will allow operation down to 0°F in 

cooling mode for all single zone systems.

Compact Size

Single zone outdoor units have the following 

footprints:

LSU243HLV, LSU303HLV, LSU363HLV

(WxHxD (in)) 34-1/4 x 31-1/2 x 12-5/8.

Fin Design with Gold-

Fin™ Coating

All single zone outdoor units are provided 

with large surface coils made of copper 

tubes with louvered aluminum fins designed 

to maximize unit operating efficiency over a 

wide range of ambient conditions.

Standard from the factory, every single zone 

outdoor unit coil fin surface is coated with 

LG’s exclusive GoldFin™ anti-corrosive 

coating designed to prevent natural surface 

corrosion of the aluminum fins. This main-

tains heat transfer properties of the coil for 

an extended time.

A hydrophilic coating is applied to the 

outdoor unit coil fin surface over the GoldFin 

coating. This coating enhances the develop-

ment of heavier water droplets gathering 

on the fin surface. As a result, the droplets 

roll off the fin surfaces, delaying the point 

when frost forms on the coil surface during 

heating operation. This coating also makes it 

possible to easily clean the outdoor unit coil 

using a mild soap.
