LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) Software

A properly designed and installed refrigerant piping system is critical to the optimal performance of LG air-conditioning systems. To assist

engineers, LG offers, free of charge, LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) software—a total design solution for LG air conditioning

systems.

To reduce the risk of designing an improper applied system or one that will not operate correctly, LG requires that LATS software be used on all projects.

Formats

LATS is available to LG customers in three user interfaces: LATS HVAC, LATS CAD2, and LATS REVIT. All three LATS formats are available

through www.myLGHVAC.com, or contact an LG Sales Representative.

LATS HVAC

is a Windows

-based application that aids engineers in designing LG Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), Multi F / Multi F MAX,

Single-Zone, and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems.

*Windows

is a registered mark of Microsoft

Corporation.

LATS CAD2

combines the LG LATS program with AutoCAD

software**. It permits engineers to layout and validate LG Multi V Variable

Refrigerant Flow (VRF), Multi F / Multi F MAX, Single-Zone, and En-

ergy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems directly into CAD drawings.

LATS Revit

integrates the LG LATS program with Revit

software**.

It permits engineers to layout and validate Multi V VRF systems

directly into Revit drawings.

**AutoCAD

and Revit

are both registered marks of Autodesk, Inc.

Features

All LG product design criteria have been loaded into the program,

making LATS simple to use: double click or drag and drop the com-

ponent choices. Build systems in Tree Mode where the refrigerant

system can be viewed. Switch to a Schematic diagram to see the

electrical and communications wiring.

LATS software permits the user to input region data, indoor and

outdoor design temperatures, modify humidity default values, zoning, specify type and size of outdoor units and indoor units, and input air

flow and external static pressure (ESP) for ducted indoor units.

The program can also:

• Import building loads from a separate Excel file.

• Present options for outdoor unit auto selection.

• Automatically calculate component capacity based on design

conditions for the chosen region.

• Verify if the height differences between the various system

components are within system limits.

• Provide the correct size of each refrigerant piping segment and LG

Y-Branches and Headers.

• Adjust overall piping system length when elbows are added.

• Check for component piping limitations and flag if any parameters

are broken.

• Factor operation and capacity for defrost operation.

• Calculate refrigerant charge, noting any additional trim charge.

• Suggest accessories for indoor units and outdoor units.

• Run system simulation.

Features depend on which LATS program is being used, and the type of system being designed.
