(ISHPC), ACHH017H(V)BAB, ACHH020H(V)BAB, ACHH033H(V)BAB, ACHH040H(V)BAB, ACHH050H(V)BAB, ACHH060H(V)BAB: (H-460V and V-208-230V)

Serviceability features: With an independent modular system design that reduces the size of each independent refrigerant circuit, the ISHPC is internally redundant, reducing the impact of compressor downtime. Compared to staged systems, the ISHPC matches the required capacity as the load changes, while optimizing electrical consumption, thanks to the system's variable-speed design.

Noise-reduction features: Chiller performance is certified per AHRI Standard 550/590 and sound levels per AHRI Standard 370, demonstrating class leadership for integrated part-load value (IPLV), sound level, and low ambient heating performance.

IAQ equipment supported: The ISHPC gives engineers the opportunity to specify chilled and hot water for independent dedicated outdoor air systems. The heat pump chiller was designed to be used in a four-pipe application with external valves and controls. The variable-capacity performance of the ISHPC will promote its use in this type of application.

Thermostat compatibility: Manufacturer did not specify.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: The category-leading innovation of the ISHPC resides in four critical areas: 1) the use of inverter technology for precise and efficient response to load demand; 2) low ambient/high performance heating; 3) modularity of design; and 4) inventory-ready availability. Performing in both comfort and process cooling applications, LG VRF systems allow the ISHPC to operate in low ambient cooling (to 5°F) applications without the need for costly options or system additions to the basic configuration.

Warranty information: One-year all parts and three-year compressor limited parts only warranty. Available to purchase are extended limited parts only warranties that can extend the parts only coverage to 5,6,7,8,9 and 10 additional years. There is not a labor coverage warranty available from the LG at this time.

Special installation requirements: The modularity of design allows chiller plants to be assembled per individual project requirements. Engineers are afforded a cost-effective, properly sized solution compared to the challenges associated with fixed-capacity, fixed-frame chillers.

For retrofit applications and new construction

Serviceability features: Breathe new life into existing air handlers with FANWALL retrofit. Each fan can pass through most single-width doors, and each cube can be knocked-down for tight installations. Reduce maintenance costs with no belts or sheaves to change or bearings to grease. Save space with FANWALL arrays that can be applied in both vertical and horizontal airflow arrangements and save up to 50% in space and cabinetry.

Noise-reduction features: The acoustical benefit of FANWALL arrays is the low-frequency sound reduction of its smaller more efficient fans. Each backward inclined airfoil fan is custom designed and manufactured to the job's design criteria. The optimum use of smaller, more energy-efficient direct-drive fans improves energy efficiency. The patented Coplanar Silencer® that attenuates sound within each cube often eliminates the need for sound attenuators and their associated static pressure penalty and costly concrete inertia pads.

IAQ equipment supported: Building owners who upgrade to a FANWALL array can increase airflow to applications where sufficient airflow was previously a challenge. An array can easily replace (within the same footprint) a single or dual fan system with an array of smaller more efficient fans. The FANWALL array produces a uniform piston of air that better utilizes the face area of filters and coils for increased life and capacity.

Thermostat compatibility: Building automation controls or motor control center.

Replacement parts compatibility: Shares replacement parts with other models.

Additional features: In many cases, access limitations are a barrier to a fan or air handler replacement because replacement cannot be accomplished without the time and expense of a major tear-out and reconstruction project. A FANWALL system can minimize this and other barriers. Individual cubes can be navigated into tight spaces to avoid major demolition and reconstruction and provide flexibility in staging projects with significant access barriers.

Warranty information: Twelve-month warranty from startup or 18 months from shipment. Extended warranties are also available.

Special installation requirements: The modular design allows individual cubes to be navigated through a standard 3-foot door and assembled inside the existing air handler cabinet. This eliminates the need and associated cost of having a crane on-site.

CAS Series packaged water-source heat pump

Serviceability features: Compact cabinet design with quick access for ease of service. Horizontal units can be serviced through the unit bottom to virtually eliminate removing ceiling-mounted units for service.

Noise-reduction features: Provided as standard, the unit has a dual-level vibration isolation system. A heavy-gauge mounting plate is isolated from the cabinet via a dense neoprene pad to minimize vibration transfer. The compressor is then isolated from the mounting plate with standard rubber in shear isolators to enhance the dual-level vibration isolation. The compressor is located in a well-insulated compartment, separated from the airstream to minimize sound transmission.

IAQ equipment supported: Manufacturer did not specify.

Thermostat compatibility: Compatible with most thermostats.

Replacement parts compatibility: Shares replacement parts with other models.

Additional features: Hot gas reheat is used for humidity control and for occupant comfort. By redirecting exhaust heat from the compressor to the reheat coil, the system can operate to remove unwanted moisture. The integrated reheat coil is used to add sensible heat to the airstream to maintain the temperature setpoint. Efficient hot gas reheat system eliminates the need for a separate unit to dehumidify the air, thereby reducing overall energy usage.

Warranty information: Standard one-year warranty on compressor and parts. Extended five-year warranty is optional.

Special installation requirements: Installation must meet local codes. See product documentation for recommended clearances.
