System Controls
Refrigerant Distribution Balancing
Buildings with hydronic heating systems can
experience low delta-T syndrome—a condition
that occurs when the water distribution system is
not properly balanced. Units located at the ends
of the hot water piping system need boiler water
while units located closer to the boiler use too
much water. Low delta-T syndrome also occurs
in VRF systems. To prevent this condition in Multi
V installations, LG provides control algorithms
that automatically monitor and balance the dis-
tribution of refrigerant to indoor units during high
demand periods. This allows each unit to receive
an appropriate amount of refrigerant.
Low Noise Levels
LG customers often ask if the outdoor unit is
running after commissioning is complete. When
Multi V outdoor units operate fully loaded, they
have one of the quietest noise levels in the
industry. Noise is almost undetectable during off-
peak operation. To promote a quiet, comfortable
environment, the LG Multi V indoor units operate
at sound levels as low as 23dB(A) and outdoor
units as low as 50dB(A) at full load.
All rotating components are soft-started by the
controller using digitally-controlled inverters,
which reduces undesirable noise caused by fans
and compressors cycling.
Comfort Control at Its Best
Tight temperature control through precise load
matching maximizes the time that the indoor units
remove moisture. This ensures maximum comfort
and delivers the industry’s best indoor humidity
levels.
Precision Load Matching
Unlike traditional air conditioning control systems,
which use thermostatic controls to maintain room
temperatures, LG Multi V controls continuously
vary the indoor unit fan speed and refrigerant flow
indirectly providing lower and more consistent hu-
midity 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 humidity level will vary
little compared to technologies that cycle fans
and compressors multiple times per hour.
The outdoor unit responds by varying the com-
pressor speed and outdoor fan motors as needed
to maintain system operating pressure. As a
result, the Multi V system delivers precise space
temperature control.
Heat Transfer Effi ciency
Fin Design
All Multi V outdoor units are provided with large
surface coils made of copper tubes with aluminum
fins designed to maximize unit operating ef-
ficiency over a wide range of ambient conditions.
GoldFin™ Coating
Standard from the factory, every LG Multi V
outdoor coil fin surface is coated with LG’s exclu-
sive GoldFin™ anti-corrosive protective coating
designed to prevent natural surface corrosion of
the aluminum fins. This maintains 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 development of heavier
water droplets gathering on the fin surface. As a
result, the droplets roll off the fin surfaces delay-
ing the point when frost forms on the coil surface
during heating operations. This coating also
makes it possible to easily clean the outdoor unit
coil using mild soap.
Simplifi ed Installation
Cooling and heating systems that use the LG
Multi V 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 distribu-
tion duct systems, matching and selecting chill-
ers, towers, pumps, coils, fans, air handlers, or
variable air volume (VAV) boxes.
System integration with existing building manage-
ment systems has never been easier. Since all
of the Multi V system components are engineered
and provided by LG, the system components
and controls come pre-engineered and do not
need any custom programming from third-party
contractors.
Advanced Compressor
Technology
Oil Management
Oil migration is no longer a concern when choos-
ing Multi V. A three-stage oil management system
ensures a safe level of oil in the compressor
sump. An oil injection mechanism provides a
consistent film of oil on moving parts, even at low
speeds, which enables LG’s inverter compressor
operation down to 25 Hz.
1.
The compressor discharge is specially de-
signed to minimize the amount of oil leaving
the compressor.
2.
An oil separator located on the discharge side
of the compressor(s) separates the majority
of oil mixed with the refrigerant gas stream
during compression. Oil is returned to the
compressor through a gravity drain.
3.
Oil return algorithms flush the oil from the
distribution system back to the compressor.
Inverter Driven
The R410A rotary compressor is optimized to
maximize compressor efficiency, which reduces
power consumption and monthly utility bills. The
latest inverter technology allows the LG Multi
V to vary the compressor motor shaft speed
to deliver an appropriate amount of cooling to
all indoor units. Precise refrigerant volume
delivery translates into long periods of time with
coil surface temperatures below dew point and
minimizes compressor and fan component run
time. Occupants remain comfortable while utility
costs are reduced.
