About LG Electronics, Inc.
LG Electronics, Inc. is a global leader and technology innovator
in consumer electronics, mobile communications, and home
appliances, employing more than 213,000 people in more than 60
countries worldwide. LG Electronics, Inc. comprises five
business units—Home Entertainment, Mobile Communications, Air
Conditioning, Business Solutions, and Home Appliance. LG is one
of the world’s leading producers of flat panel televisions, audio and
video products, mobile handsets, air conditioners, and washing
machines. LG’s commercial air conditioning business unit was estab-
lished in 1968 and has built its lineup of residential and commercial
products to include VRF, Multi F, duct-free split systems, packaged
terminal air conditioners (PTACs), and room air conditioners. In
2011, the air conditioning and energy solutions business unit grew to
include LED lighting and solar products. For more information, visit

Multi-Zone Systems
LG HVAC systems offer a range of solutions that are cost efficient,
quiet and attractive. Multi-zone systems are “split” into indoor and
outdoor units, and provide a smart alternative to both central HVAC
and window-mounted air conditioners. These inverter heat pump
systems are available in a variety of configurations to suit differ-
ent cooling and heating situations. Installation by a qualified HVAC
contractor is safe and easy – little to no duct work or sheet metal is
required.
Multi F Systems
LG’s inverter heat pumps can support two, three, or four indoor
units that are typically installed in separate rooms. Each indoor unit
includes its own remote control, allowing the customer to set the
temperature individually. Indoor units are available in several differ-
ent congurations: Art Cool™ Mirror wall-mounted, Art Cool Gallery
wall-mounted, standard wall-mounted, four-way ceiling cassettes,
ceiling-concealed duct (high and low static), and vertical-horizontal air
handling models. Multi F MAX systems, released in 2012, can oper-
ate up to eight indoor units through two-, three-, or four-port branch
distribution units.
Adaptable and Flexible
Multi F outdoor units can be adapted to a wide range of building ap-
plications and sizes such as schools, hotels, hospitals, ofces, and
residences. The system components are lightweight and compact so
they can be placed in buildings without expensive cranes, they easily
fit into most service elevators, and they can be set in place with
minimal structural reinforcements requirements.
Multi F technology allows you to pipe farther by reaching areas of the
building that would require the installation of a second system when
using traditional direct-expansion cooling and heating equipment. Multi
F provides the designer with uncompromised pipe system engineering
exibility—long pipe runs and large elevation differences. Whether your
building is a condominium, a hotel, a school, or an ofce complex, Multi
F is best suited to reach the farthest corners and elevations.
Smaller Chases and Plenums
LG Multi F systems use refrigerant piping to move heat, resulting in
smaller space requirements for piping as compared to chilled water
or roof top systems. This helps reduce the overall construction and
material cost of the building, and gives back leasable space. Flexible
and logical placement of system components, reduced back-and-
forth pipe lengths, and fewer joints lowers installation costs and
minimizes potential leaking.
Quality Commitment
LG is committed to the success of
DFS projects. We provide techni-
cal support during installation and
commissioning. LG offers a variety
of classes designed for installers
and servicers on Multi F installa-
tion. Classes are conducted at LG’s
training centers and in field loca-
tions at various times throughout
the year and upon special request.
