The new products use propane refrigerant and have a seasonal coefficient of performance greater than 5. According to the manufacturer, it can reach a flow temperature of 75 ºC, even at -15 ºC outside.
South Korean electronics manufacturer LG has launched two new versions of its Therma V R290 Monobloc residential heat pump.
The new air-to-water heat pumps have a power of 7 kW and 9 kW respectively. “Following the successful launch of the high-capacity models (12, 14 and 16 kW) at last year’s IFA, the new Therma V models incorporate an advanced compressor that unlocks greater efficiency and a more sophisticated design that blends seamlessly into the environment,” the manufacturer said in a statement.
The new product uses propane (R290) as a refrigerant and, according to the manufacturer, can reach a flow temperature of 75°C and a heating output of 100% even at extremely low outdoor temperatures of -15°C, with an operating range reaching down to -28°C. Its seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) is greater than 5.
“Thanks to the new compressor, both AWHP models operate at a quiet 49 dB(A) at 7 kW and 50 dB(A) at 9 kW,” the company says. “LG’s Shaft Through structure improves stability and reduces friction, thereby minimizing noise and vibration, especially during low-load operation. Additionally, enhanced biomimetic innovations contribute to the fan’s quiet operation.”
The manufacturer said the heat pump can also be integrated with energy storage systems (ESS) to maximise the use of residential photovoltaic systems. “The new models offer easy and convenient control and energy monitoring through LG ThinQ, creating an integrated Home Energy Platform with Energy Storage System (ESS),” it added. |
