INNOVATION, FLEXIBILITY, & STYLE
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 established 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
www.lg-dfs.com.
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 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.
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 congurations: 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 operate 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, ofces, 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 ofce complex, Multi
F is best suited to reach the farthest corners and elevations.
Smaller Chases and Plenums
Benefits of Multi F Systems
• Individual zone control
• Long refrigerant piping lengths
• High refrigerant piping elevation differences
• Maximum flexibility
• Operating ranges of 14°F to 118°F (DB) in cooling and -4°F to
64°F (WB) in heating
• Quiet and comfortable environment
• Reduced ductwork
Multi F and Multi F MAX Indoor Unit Engineering Manual
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-andforth 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
technical support during installation and commissioning. LG
offers a variety of classes
designed for installers and on
Multi F installation. Classes
are conducted at LG’s training
centers and in field locations
at various times throughout the
year and upon special request.

Mechanical Specications
Multi F Heat Pump Condensing Units
General
A Multi F multi-zone system is comprised of one heat pump outdoor
unit connected to two, three, or four indoor units using a shared
refrigerant piping circuit between the outdoor unit and each indoor
unit, and includes integrated controls supplied by LG. The outdoor
unit is internally assembled, wired, and piped from the factory; all LG
components are manufactured in a facility registered to ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001, set by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO). The LG Multi F multi zone heat pump system components
comply with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1995 Heating and Cooling Equipment Standard for Safety, and bear the Electrical Testing
Laboratories (ETL) mark. The units are certied to AHRI 210 / 240.
Temperature Ranges
The heat pump outdoor units are capable of operating in cooling
mode from 14°F to +118°F ambient dry bulb (installing an optional
Low Ambient Wind Baffle Kit will allow operation down to -4°F in
cooling mode for all Multi F systems). The heat pump outdoor units
are capable of operating in heating mode from -4°F to +64°F ambient wet bulb without additional low ambient controls.
Frame
The Multi F condensing unit case is constructed from pre-coated
metal that has been tested in accordance with ASTM B-117 salt
spray procedure for a minimum of 1,000 hours. Case has a removable front panel to allow access to major components and control
devices, and legs to secure the unit during installation.
Refrigerant System
Multi F systems have a shared refrigerant circuit field piped to
multiple (ducted, non-ducted or mixed) indoor units to effectively and
efficiently control the heating or cooling operation of the multi zone
system. All refrigerant lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor units
are field-installed and must be insulated separately.
All Multi F systems use R410A refrigerant. The outdoor units are
equipped with a refrigerant strainer, check valves, oil separator,
accumulator, four-way reversing valve, electronic expansion valve(s)
(EEV), high side and low side refrigerant charging ports, and a
service port. Each outdoor unit also includes sensors for suction
temperature, discharge temperature, high-pressure, low-pressure,
heat exchanger temperature, and outdoor temperature conditions.
Figure 4: Multi F LMU18CHV and
LMU24CHV Outdoor Units.
includes Teflon™ coated bearings. The inverter motor is capable
of providing a modulation range of 20Hz to 100Hz with control in
1Hz increments. The compressor is protected with phase-reversal
protection, uses a factory-charge of Polyvinyl Ether (PVE) oil, and is
mounted to avoid the transmission of vibration.
Figure 5: Multi F LMU36CHV
Outdoor Unit.
Fan and Motors
Each outdoor unit includes one direct drive variable speed propeller
fan with Brushless Digitally Controlled (BLDC) motor with a horizontal air discharge. Fan blades are statically and dynamically balanced
propeller fans made of durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
plastic, and include a raised fan guard to limit contact with moving
parts. The motors have inherent overload protection, permanently
lubricated bearings, and a maximum speed up to 950 rpm. All Multi F
outdoor units have a horizontal discharge airflow.
Outdoor Unit Coil
The outdoor unit coils are factory-built of aluminum fins mechanically bonded on copper tubing. Coils have a minimum of two rows, a

the refrigerant gas during compression and return oil to the compressor. The outdoor units also have an oil injection mechanism to
ensure a consistent film of oil on all moving compressor parts at low
speed.
Compressor
Multi F condensing units are equipped with one hermetically sealed,
digitally controlled, inverter driven twin-rotary compressor that
Controls
Factory installed microprocessor controls in the outdoor unit and
indoor units shall perform functions to efficiently operate the multizone system. System wiring must be installed in a tree configuration from outdoor unit to indoor units through four conductor power/
transmission cable. The system is capable of performing continuous
operation, even when power is turned off to an individual indoor unit.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specications may change without notication.
