LG Electronics (LG) is to expand its Therma V R290 Monobloc range air-to-water heat pumps (AWHP).
Two smaller models (7 and 9 kW) – using R290 refrigerant – will be added to range, designed for the European market, following the launch of the large capacity models (12, 14, 16kW) last year. The new Therma V models come with an advanced compressor that is said to unlock greater efficiency.
The lower positioning of the compression process helps ensure a more stable operation and smaller energy bills, while the system enables a water output of up to 75 degrees Celsius, even when it is minus 15 degrees outside.
Courtesy of the all-new compressor, both AWHP models operate at a quiet 49 dB(A) at 7kW and 50 dB(A) at 9kW. The structure enhances stability and reduces friction, thereby minimising noise and vibration, particularly during low-load operation.
Therma V R290 Monobloc features a sleek one-fan design. The outer casing of LG’s latest AWHP solution uses a sophisticated black tone that complements any colour, while the unit’s grille features a distinctive wave pattern and understated dark grey finish. Its compact design allows it to fit under most windows without obstructing the view, making it a practical, aesthetically pleasing addition to any property.
LG’s new AWHPs are designed to seamlessly integrate with various indoor units through simplified installations, enhanced flexibility and customised options – control, hydro and combi units – that cater to different installation environments. The streamlined design guarantees a more efficient, hassle-free set up, while the company’s Building Energy Control (BECON) cloud lets the installer or service partner update its firmware remotely, saving time and effort. Additionally, the new models offer easy and convenient control and energy monitoring through LG’s ThinQ, creating an integrated home energy platform with energy storage system (ESS).
“LG’s latest Therma V R290 Monobloc offers Europeans a broader range of capacity options while delivering enhanced performance and user comfort,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “LG will continue leveraging its differentiated competitiveness in high-efficiency energy technologies and key component solutions to offer a product lineup tailored to regional needs.”
