Duct-Free Split Systems
LG HVAC systems offer a range of solutions that are cost efficient,
quiet and attractive. Duct-Free Split 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 different cooling and heating situations. Installation by a qualified HVAC
contractor is safe and easy – little to no duct work or sheet metal is
required.
Inverter Systems
LG Single Zone Ducted air-source systems offer zoning without
the need for zone damper systems. The advanced controls of the
ceiling-concealed ducted system provide exceptional building dehumidification and temperature control, and can rapidly adapt system
operating parameters to the ever changing building load. Single-zone
DFS systems are easy to design, install, and maintain. The modular
design allows occupants to control their environmental condition,
providing individualized control of the set-point temperature and allowing occupants to condition only the occupied zones.
Inverter variable-speed compressors are also measurably quieter
and consume less energy than those in conventional air conditioners. The Inverter compressor ramps up or down to match the
required room capacity and maintain the comfort level. When the
selected temperature is reached, the inverter compressor operates at low speed to maintain that comfort level, thereby using less
energy.
Quality Commitment
LG is committed to the success of DFS projects. We provide industry
leading technical support during installation and commissioning. LG
offers a variety of classes designed for installers and servicers to
ensure that every system installation is completed successfully.
Classes are conducted at LG’s training centers and in field locations
at various times throughout the year and upon special request.

Convergence of Technological Innovation with Flexibility and Style
Single-Zone Ceiling-Concealed
Ducted Systems
A ceiling-concealed ducted system provides a system designer an
edge to engineer a system with individual control, and design flexibility with advanced controls. Ceiling-concealed ducted systems are
208-230V/60Hz/1PH systems available in nominal capacities of 3/4,
1, 2, and 3 tons, and are best suited for applications with zones that
require heating or cooling, such as residential, and small business
office buildings.

Inverter Technology
Inverter variable-speed compressors are measurably quieter and
consume less energy than those in conventional air conditioners.
The Inverter compressor ramps up or down to match the required
room capacity and maintain the comfort level. When the
selected temperature is reached, the inverter compressor operates at low speed to maintain that comfort level, thereby using less
energy.
Adaptable and Flexible

6 | INTRODUCTION
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specications may change without notication.
Single zone ceiling-concealed ducted systems are equipped with inverter components that offer superior load matching and long piping
installation. The product works for optimizing power consumption in
residential and small office buildings. Using a ducted indoor unit with
custom temperature controls allow for precise temperature settings
in each zone of the building. Ceiling-concealed ducted indoor units
allow flexibility in interior design.
Lower Sound Levels
When outdoor units operate fully loaded, they have one of the quietest sound levels in the industry, operating as low as 47 dB(A). To
promote a quiet, comfortable environment, ceiling-concealed ducted
indoor units operate as low as 23 dB(A). LG customers often ask if
the outdoor unit is running after commissioning is complete.
All rotating components are soft-started by the controller using digitally controlled inverters, which reduce undesirable noise caused by
fans and compressors cycling on and off.
Comfort Control at its Best
Tight temperature control through precise load matching. Unlike
traditional air conditioning control systems, which use thermostatic
controls to maintain room temperatures, LG inverters continuously
vary the indoor unit fan speed and refrigerant flow, indirectly providing lower and more consistent humidity levels in the conditioned
space. The longer the indoor coil temperature is below the dewpoint
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 on and off multiple times per hour. The
outdoor unit responds by varying the compressor speed and fan motors as needed to maintain system operating pressure. As a result,
ceiling-concealed ducted systems deliver precise space temperature
control.
Inverter Driven
The compressor is optimized to maximize compressor efficiency,
which reduces power consumption and monthly utility bills. This
Ceiling-Concealed Ducted System Engineering Manual
inverter technology allows the LG ceiling-concealed ducted outdoor unit to vary the compressor motor shaft speed and deliver an
appropriate amount of cooling to the indoor unit. Occupants remain
comfortable while utility costs are reduced.
Operating Range
Ceiling-concealed ducted systems are available in 9,000 and 12,000
Btu/h capacities (low static), and in 24,000 and 36,000 Btu/h capacities (high static).
9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h Low Static Operating Ranges
• Operating ranges for outdoor units of 0°F to +118°F (DB) for
cooling (Cooling range can be extended from 0°F down to -4°F
using the Low Ambient Wind Baffle Kit [sold separately]); -4°F to
+64°F (WB) for heating.
• Operating ranges for indoor units of 57°F to 77°F (WB) for cooling;
59°F to 81°F (DB) for heating.
• Indoor unit temperature setting range of 65°F to 86°F (DB) for
cooling; 61°F to 86°F (WB) for heating.
24,000 and 36,000 High Static Operating Ranges
• Operating ranges for outdoor units of 5°F to +118°F (DB) for
cooling; 0°F to +64°F (WB) for heating.
• Operating ranges for indoor units of 57°F to 77°F (WB) for cooling;
59°F to 81°F (DB) for heating.
• Indoor unit temperature setting range of 65°F to 86°F (DB) for
cooling; 61°F to 86°F (WB) for heating
Heat Transfer Efficiency
Fin Design with GoldFin™ Coating
All ceiling-concealed ducted outdoor units are provided with large
surface coils made of copper tubes with louvered aluminum fins
designed to maximize unit operating efficiency over a wide range
of ambient conditions. Standard from the factory, the LG ceilingconcealed ducted outdoor coil fin surface is coated with LG’s exclusive GoldFin™ anti-corrosive 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, delaying the point when frost forms on the coil surface during heating operation. This coating also makes it possible to easily
clean the outdoor unit coil using a mild soap.
Other Features
Simplified Installation
The LG ceiling-concealed ducted system simplies and reduces
mechanical and control system design time. The designer no longer
has to be concerned with interconnecting chilled and condenser water
piping, complicated air distribution duct systems, matching and selecting
chillers, towers, pumps, coils, fans, air handlers, or Variable Air Volume
(VAV) boxes.
