LG AIR CONDITIONER
TECHNICAL SOLUTION (LATS)
LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) Software
A properly designed and installed refrigerant piping system is critical to the optimal performance of LG air-conditioning systems. To assist engineers, LG offers, free of charge, LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) software—a total design solution for LG air conditioning systems. Contact your LG Rep for the best software program for your application.
To reduce the risk of designing an improper applied system or one that will not operate correctly, LG requires that LATS software be used on all projects.
Formats
LATS is available to LG customers in three user interfaces: LATS HVAC, LATS CAD2, and LATS Revit. All three LATS formats are available through www.myLGHVAC.com, or contact an LG Sales Representative.
LATS HVAC is a Windows®-based application that aids engineers in designing LG Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), Multi F / Multi F MAX, Single-Zone, and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems.
*Windows® is a registered mark of Microsoft® Corporation.
LATS CAD2 combines the LG LATS program with AutoCAD® software**. It permits engineers to layout and validate LG Multi V Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), Multi F / Multi F MAX, Single-Zone, and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) systems directly into CAD drawings.
LATS Revit integrates the LG LATS program with Revit® software**. It permits engineers to layout and validate Multi V VRF systems directly into Revit drawings.
**AutoCAD® and Revit® are both registered marks of Autodesk, Inc.
Figure 1:Example of LATS CAD2.
Features
All LG product design criteria have been loaded into the program, making LATS simple to use: double click or drag and drop the com­ponent choices. Build systems in Tree Mode where the refrigerant system can be viewed. Switch to a Schematic diagram to see the electrical and communications wiring.
LATS software permits the user to input region data, indoor and outdoor design temperatures, modify humidity default values, zoning, specify type and size of outdoor units and indoor units, and input air flow and external static pressure (ESP) for ducted indoor units.
The program can also:
• Import building loads from a separate Excel file.
• Present options for outdoor unit auto selection.
• Automatically calculate component capacity based on design
conditions for the chosen region.
• Verify if the height differences between the various system
components are within system limits.
• Provide the correct size of each refrigerant piping segment and LG
Y-Branches and Headers.
• Adjust overall piping system length when elbows are added.
• Check for component piping limitations and flag if any parameters are broken.
• Factor operation and capacity for defrost operation.
• Calculate refrigerant charge, noting any additional trim charge.
• Suggest accessories for indoor units and outdoor units.
• Run system simulation.
Introduction
Features depend on which LATS program is being used, and the type of system being designed.
Due to our policy of continuous product innovation, some specications may change without notication.

LG AIR CONDITIONER TECHNICAL SOLUTION (LATS)
LATS Generates a Complete Project Report
LATS software also generates a report containing project design parameters, cooling and heating design data, system component perfor­mance, and capacity data. The report includes system combination ratio and refrigerant charge calculations; and provides detailed bill of material, including outdoor units, indoor units, control devices, accessories, refrigerant pipe sizes segregated by building, by system, by pipe size, and by pipe segments. LATS can generate an Excel GERP report that can imported into the LG SOPS pricing and ordering system.
Proper Design to Install Procedure
LG encourages a two report design-to-install-procedure. After the design engineer determines building / zone loads and other details, the engineer opens the LATS program and inputs the project’s infor­mation. When the design is complete, the “Auto Piping” and “System Check” functions must be used to verify piping sizes, limitations, and if any design errors are present. If errors are found, engineers must adjust the design, and run Auto Piping and System Check again. When the design passes the checks, then the engineer prints out a project “Shop Drawing” (LATS Tree Diagram) and provides it to the installing contractor. The contractor must follow the LATS Tree Diagram when building the piping system, but oftentimes the design changes on the building site:
Figure 2:Example of a LATS Tree Diagram.
• Architect has changed location and/or purpose of room(s).
• Outdoor unit cannot be placed where originally intended.
• Structural elements prevent routing the piping as planned.
• Air conditioning system conflicts with other building systems (plumbing, gas lines, etc.).
The contractor must mark any deviation from the design on the Shop Drawing, including as-built straight lines and elbows. This “Mark Up” drawing must be returned to the design engineer or Rep, who must input contractor changes into the LATS file. (Copy the original LATS soft­ware file, save and rename as a separate file, and modify all piping lengths by double-clicking on each length and editing information.) Like the shop drawing, the Auto Piping and System Check must also be run on this new “As Built” drawing. The design engineer or Rep must then provide the final As Built file to the contractor. The Mark Up version must be compared to the As Built version for the following:
• Differences in pipe diameter(s). If incorrect diameters have been installed, the piping must be changed out. If pipe diameters have changed, check to see if Y-Branches will also need to be changed.
• Changes to outdoor unit and indoor unit capacities. Capacities changes may impact line length changes.
• Additional refrigerant charge quantity (“Trim Charge”). Trim charge will change if piping lengths and diameters change. The As Built version must reflect installed piping lengths to ensure correct trim charge.
All documents submitted by the contractor, as well as the Shop Drawing and the As Built Drawing files must be provided for commissioning purposes. Model and serial numbers for all system components must also be submitted. If the steps previously detailed are not followed, and
Single Zone Vertical Air Handling Unit Engineering Manual
all documents are not provided to the LG Commissioner, the project runs the risk of not being commissioned and voiding any limited warranty LG offers on the equipment.

LG optional electric heat modules are de­signed for field installation in the reheat position. The electric heat module is provided with heating elements, contactors, relays, high temperature safety switch, and interconnecting control wiring harness with a quick connect plug for easy connection to the air handling unit control board. Auxiliary heat modules are available in nominal capacities of 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, and 20 kW. Heating elements are powered from a field provided separate power source. 3kW through 10 kW modules are powered from a single power wire. The 15kW and 20 kW modules are powered from two power wires. Heating module breakers, fuses, and / or disconnects are to be field provided.
Fan Assembly and Control
The indoor unit has an integral fan assembly consisting of a galvanized steel housing and a forward-curved fan wheel. The direct drive fan/motor assembly is mounted on rubber grommets isolat­ing the rotating assembly from the fan housing. The fan motor is a Brushless Digitally-Controlled design (BLDC), having permanently lubricated and sealed ball bearings. The fan motor includes thermal, overcurrent and low RPM protection. The fan/motor assembly is mounted on vibration attenuating rubber grommets. The fan impel­ler is statically and dynamically balanced. Fan speed is controlled using a microprocessor-based direct digital control algorithm that provides a minimum of a high fan speed in cooling thermal ON and
Single Zone Vertical Air Handling Unit Engineering Manual
low fan speed in cooling thermal OFF, high fan speed in heating thermal ON and fan off in heating thermal OFF. The fan speeds can be field adjusted between low, medium, and high speeds and DIP switch settings will allow the fan to run constantly during defrost or oil return modes. Each setting can be field adjusted from the factory setting (RPM/ESP). The setting provides delivery of the high speed
air volume against an external static pressure of up to 0.70″ in-wg (NJ frame - 18k and 24k), and 1.00″ in-wg (NK frame - 36k, 42k, and
48k).
The optional electric heater when used with the provided simple controller or a 3rd party thermostat (via dry contact connection), will have automatic heating operation based on the internal logic. If manual heater operation is intended, an LG Programmable controller is required.
Microprocessor Control
The indoor unit is provided with an integrated control panel with built-in dry contact to communicate with the outdoor unit. All unit op­eration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory resident on the unit microprocessor. The microprocessor controls space temperature through using the value provided by temperature sensors within the indoor unit. A field-supplied communication cable must be installed to connect the indoor unit(s) to the outdoor unit.

General Power Wiring / Communications Cable Guidelines
• Follow manufacturer’s circuit diagrams displayed on the inside of the control box cover.
• Have a separate power supply for the indoor units.
• Provide a circuit breaker switch between the power source and the indoor unit.
• Confirm power source specifications.
• Properly ground the outdoor unit and the indoor unit per NEC and local codes.
• Connect the wiring firmly so that the wires cannot be easily pulled out.
• Confirm that the electrical capacity is sufficient.
• Power supply to the outdoor unit must be selected based on NEC and local codes. Maximum allowable voltage fluctuation ±10% or name­plate rated value.
• It is recommended that a circuit breaker is installed, especially if conditions could become wet or moist.
• Include a disconnect in the power wiring system. Add an air gap contact separation of at least 1/8 inch in each active (phase) conductor.
• Any openings where the field wiring enters the cabinet must be completely sealed.
Do not install power wiring to the outdoor unit and the communication / connection (power) cable to the indoor unit in the same conduit.
Use separate conduits.
Power Wiring / Communications Cable Specifications
• Power wiring to the outdoor unit must be solid or stranded, and must comply with the applicable local and national electric codes.
• Communication cable from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit must be a minimum of 18 AWG, four (4) conductor, shielded or unshielded (if shielded, must be grounded to chassis at ODU only) and must comply with applicable local and national codes.
• Communication cable from indoor unit to remote controller(s) is to be 22 AWG, 3-conductor, twisted, stranded, unshielded. Wiring must comply with all applicable local and national codes.
Terminal screws may become loose during transport. Properly tighten the terminal connections during installation or risk electric shock, physical injury, or death.
Loose wiring may cause unit to malfunction, overheat, and catch fire, resulting in severe injury or death.

1. To access the terminal block, first unscrew the top front panel,
and then unscrew the cover from the control box.
2. Knockout the access holes for the wiring. Insert the power wiring/
communications cable from the outdoor unit through the conduits, pass the conduits through the designated access holes, and then insert the conduits into the control box. To prevent electro­magnetic interference and product malfunction, leave a space between the power wiring and communications cable outside of the indoor unit.
3. Connect the power wiring and communications cables to the
appropriate terminals on the indoor unit control board. Verify that the color and terminal numbers from the outdoor unit wiring match the color and terminal numbers on the indoor unit.
4. Fill in any gaps around the conduit access holes with sealant to
prevent foreign particles from entering the indoor unit.

Wired Controller Placement
Wired controllers include a sensor to detect room temperature. To maintain comfort levels in the conditioned space, the wired controller must be installed in a location away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and where it could be directly exposed to cold air. Controller must be installed four (4) to five (5) feet above the floor where its LED display can be read easily, in an area with good air circula­tion, and where it can detect an average room temperature.
Do not install the wired controller near or in:
• Drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners
• Hot or cold air from ducts
• Radiant heat from the sun or appliances
• Concealed pipes and chimneys
• An area where temperatures are uncontrolled, such as an outside wall
Hanging the Wired Controller
1. The controller wiring / cable can be installed in one of three directions: top, back, or on the right side. If top or right side installation is desired, remove cable guide grooves on the controller, and then position wiring / cable on applicable side.
2. Choose and mark the area of installation, and then screw the wall plate into place (using the provided parts). Install the controller wall plate to fit the elec­trical box if one is present. Ensure that no gaps exist between the wall plate and the wall itself.
3. Arrange wiring / cables so as not to interfere with the controller circuitry. Position the wired controller on the wall plate. Snap into place by pressing the bottom part of the wired controller onto the wall plate. Make sure that no gaps exist between the wired controller and the wall plate on all sides.

Single Zone Vertical Air Handling Unit Engineering Manual
Assigning the Thermistor for Temperature Detection
Each indoor unit includes a return air thermistor assigned to sense the temperature. If a wired controller is installed, there is a choice of sensing temperature with either the indoor unit return air thermistor or the thermistor in the wired controller. It is also an option to set both thermistors to sense temperature so that indoor unit bases its operation on the first thermistor to reach the designated temperature differen­tial. For applicable indoor units, an optional Remote Temperature Sensor can be used in lieu of the return air thermistor—either alone or in conjunction with a wired controller thermistor as previously described.

Correction Factors
Cooling / Heating Correction Factors
For Single Zone Vertical Air Handling Unit systems, calculate the equivalent length of the liquid line from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. Also, determine the elevation difference of the indoor unit above or below the outdoor unit. Find corresponding cooling or heating capacity correction factors as shown below. Multiply the correction factors by the cooling or heating capacity obtained from the capacity table using design conditions. The result is the NET cooling or heating capacity.
Refrigerant Line Length Derates
For air-cooled systems, a capacity correction factor may have to be applied to account for the length of the system’s refrigerant pipe. Rate of change in capacity due to increased piping lengths is shown below.

Altitude Correction Factor
The impact of air density must be considered on systems installed at a significant altitude above sea level, therefore, locally accepted altitude correction factors must be applied.
Defrost Correction Factor for Heating Operation
The outdoor unit heating capacity may need to be adjusted for frost accumulation on air-cooled systems. If design day conditions are below the dewpoint of the surrounding air, frost may not be a problem and no correction factor is needed. In certain weather conditions, however, frost may form and accumulate on the air-cooled outdoor unit coil and impact the coils ability to transfer heat. If significant frost accumulates on the outdoor unit coil, a defrost algorithm will start automatically. The timing between defrost periods is determined by the system’s ability to achieve a target head pressure value.
Capacity and AHRI ratings tables do not factor in capacity reduction when frost has accumulated on the condenser coil, nor during defrost operation. Integrated heating capacity values can be obtained using the formula:
A = B x C
Where: A = Integrated Heating Capacity.
B = Value found in the Capacity Table. C = Correction Factor for Frost Accumulation Factor (from table at right).

There will be a temporary reduction in capacity when frost / ice accumulates on the outside surface of the outdoor unit heat exchanger. The level of capacity reduction depends on a number of factors, for example, outdoor temperature (°F DB), relative humidity (RH), and the amount of frost present.

EQUIPMENT SELECTION PROCEDURE
Check the Indoor and Outdoor Unit Selection(s)
Compare the corrected cooling and heating capacities to the load calculations. Is each capacity sufficient for the zone it serves? For each indoor unit, the corrected capacity must be at least equal to the total of the cooling design load (plus ventilation load, if applicable)
for the space served by the indoor unit. For each indoor unit, the corrected capacity also must be at least equal to the total of the heating design load (plus ventilation load, if applicable) for the space(s) and / or thermal zones served by the indoor unit.
The outdoor unit selected must be large enough to offset the total cooling load for all spaces it serves (account for ventilation air cooling load if the ventilation air has not been pretreated to room neutral conditions). The outdoor unit must also be large enough to offset the total heating load for all spaces it serves.
If the corrected heating capacity ratio exceeds 100%, reselect the equipment, or change the system design by moving some of the load to another system.

Application Guidelines
The unit must not be installed where sulfuric acid and ammable or corrosive gases are generated, vented into, or stored. There is risk of re, explosion, and physical injury or death.
The unit may be damaged, may malfunction, and / or will not operate as designed if installed in any of the conditions listed.
Indoor units (IDUs) must not be placed in an environment where the IDUs may be exposed to harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or in environments where there is improper air make up or supply or inadequate ventilation. If there are concerns about VOCs in the environment where the IDUs are installed, proper air make up or supply and/ or adequate ventilation must be provided. Additionally, in buildings where IDUs will be exposed to VOCs, consider a factory-applied epoxy coating to the fan coils for each IDU.
If the unit is installed near a body of water, the installation parts are at risk of corroding. Appropriate anti-corrosion methods must be taken for the unit and all installation parts.
Installing in an Area Exposed to Unconditioned Air
Figure 42: Installing Near a Heat or Steam Source.
In some installation applications, areas (floors, walls) in some rooms may be exposed to unconditioned air (room may be above or next to an unheated garage
Indoor Unit
or storeroom). To countermeasure:
• Verify that carpet is or will be installed (carpet may increase the temperature by
three [3] degrees).
• Add insulation between the floor joists.
• Install radiant heat or another type of heating system to the floor.

PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Outdoor Unit
Planning for Snow and Ice
To ensure the outdoor unit operates properly, certain measures are required in locations where there is a possibility of heavy snowfall or severe windchill or cold:
1. Prepare for severe winter wind chills and heavy snowfall, even in areas of the country where these are unusual phenomena.
2. Position the outdoor unit so that its airflow fans are not buried by direct, heavy snowfall. If snow piles up and blocks the airflow, the system may malfunction.
3. Remove any snow that has accumulated four (4) inches or more on the top of the outdoor unit.
4. In climates that may experience significant snow buildup, mount the outdoor unit on a raised, field-provided platform or stand. The raised support platform must be high enough to allow the unit to remain above possible snow drifts, and must be higher than the maximum antici­pated snowfall for the location.
5. Design the mounting base to prevent snow accumulation on the platform in front or back of the unit frame.
6. Provide a field fabricated snow protection hood to keep snow and ice and/or drifting snow from accumulating on the coil surfaces.
7. Install a hail guard kit and air guide accessories (sold separately) to prevent snow or rain from accumulating on the fan inlet / outlet guards.
8. Consider tie-down requirements in case of high winds or where required by local codes.
When deciding on a location to place the outdoor unit, be sure to choose an area where run-off from defrost will not accumulate and freeze on side­walks or driveways, which may create unsafe conditions.
Choose an area where run-off from defrost mode will not accumulate and freeze on sidewalks or driveways. Properly install and insulate any drain hoses to prevent the hose from freezing, cracking, leaking, and damaging the outdoor unit.

Minimum Clearance Requirements for Vertical Air Handling Unit ODUs
Proper clearance for the outdoor unit coil is critical for proper unit operation. When installing the outdoor unit, consider service, inlet and outlet and minimum allowable space requirements as illustrated in the diagrams below and on the next few pages.
Minimum Clearance Requirements for LUU188HV, LUU248HV Outdoor Units
Specific clearance requirements in the diagram below are for 18,0000 Btu/h (LUU188HV),and 24,000 Btu/h (LUU248HV) systems. The fol­lowing figure shows the overall minimum clearances that must be observed for safe operation and adequate airflow around the outdoor unit.
When placing the outdoor unit under an overhang, awning, sunroof or other “roof-like structure”, observe the clearance requirements (as shown in Cases 1 and 2 for height in relation to the unit. This clearance ensures that heat radiation from the condenser is not restricted around the unit.
Adhere to all clearance requirements if installing the unit on a roof. Be sure to level the unit and ensure that the unit is adequately anchored. Consult local codes for rooftop mounting requirements.
To have successful service access to the outdoor unit, see the following figure for minimum spacing. When installing multiple outdoor units, see Cases 4 and 5 for correct spacing requirements.
If the outdoor unit is installed between standard and minimum clearances, capacity decreases approximately 10%.

INSTALLING OUTDOOR UNITS INDOORS
Installing Outdoor Units Indoors
LG outdoor units are engineered to be mounted outdoors and include technology designed to minimize the negative effects of winter weath­er’s freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Some building projects, however, necessitate placing the HVAC outdoor units indoors:
• Lack of ground space.
• Lack of an appropriate outdoor location that meets system design requirements.
• When mounting on the roof is not an option due to a lack of roof space.
• Roof warranty will be voided if mechanical equipment is placed on the membrane.
• On retrofit projects, a former chiller / boiler / air handler equipment room, mechanical area, or penthouse already exists.
• Where a project has vertical, self-contained VAV air handlers on each floor (in lieu of a centralized mechanical room).
• To curtail the potential need for redundant zone heating devices such as wall-fin radiators or duct heaters.
• In extremely cold environments where there is a significant amount of run-time at temperatures well below freezing outside the outdoor unit ambient air temperature range published in this engineering manual.
Benefits of Installing Outdoor Units Indoors
• Shelters the outdoor unit from direct exposure to prevailing winds that decrease the heating capability of the outdoor unit.
• Protects equipment from freezing precipitation and / or potential ice build-up that could hinder unit operation.
• Maintains coil heat transfer efficiency by reducing the number of and shortening the cycle time for defrost operation.
• Easier maintenance and servicing during inclement weather.
• When mounted in a fully enclosed space, limiting the ambient air temperature may allow the system designer to eliminate oversizing the outdoor unit to compensate for loss of capacity at low ambient temperatures.
• May also curtail the need to provide inefficient redundant zone heating devices such as wall-fin radiators and second-stage ancillary heating devices.
Design Considerations Include:
• Enclosure types and elements such as louvers, rain hoods, dampers and controls, heating methods and sizing of heating devices
• Heating strategies
• Duct design
• Condensate handling
General Guidelines
• Follow ASHRAE 62.1 design guidelines.
• Depending on the project / application, a roof over the outdoor units in combination with a wind break may be all that is necessary.
• Consider the potential for snow accumulation near louvers / roof openings. Outside air intakes and discharge ducts/louvers must be engi­neered to clear anticipated snow accumulation levels by at least one (1) foot.
• In situations where operation is anticipated at temperatures of -13°F and lower, ancillary heat must be provided to heat the outdoor unit coils to assure continuous compressor operation and heating.
Single Zone Vertical Air Handling Unit Engineering Manual
It may be necessary to use an air guide accessory to prevent discharge air from short-cycling back to the coil inlet.
• Another option is to field manufacture ductwork and mount on top of the unit to encompass the outdoor unit fan discharge and connect to the exterior discharge grille on the building.
• Avoid using a single duct on multi-fan units to prevent short cycling. Provide a dedicated duct for each outdoor unit fan discharge.
• Consider the direction of prevailing winds and opening placement. If possible, locate inlet openings upwind of discharge openings and other exhaust outlets.
• When inlet and outlet openings are placed on the same wall, minimum distance between the two openings must be approximately three (3) feet (minimum distance varies significantly with variations in outlet opening face velocity).
• If roof-mounted ventilation openings are used, strategically locate the inlet ventilation opening(s) upwind of the outlet opening(s).
• Discharge and supply ductwork must be designed to avoid weather related long periods of water entrainment and the potential for microbial growth.

INSTALLING OUTDOOR UNITS INDOORS
Provide a means to drain the condensate generated during heating mode and defrost cycle in addition to rainwater that infiltrates the inlet louver enclosed area.
• Install a field-provided drain pan under the outdoor units and provide a path to a nearby floor drain.
• If the ambient air temperature is expected to drop below 32°F in the enclosure, heat the bottom surface of the pan, drain line, and floor
drain so that the condensate does not freeze before reaching the drain.
Allow for ventilation intake and exhaust air based on maximum outdoor unit fan capacity.
• Select the size, type and orientation of architectural louvers with adequate "net free area" face velocity to ensure the total external static
pressure from the outdoor unit fan does not exceed design limitations (see specification data tables).
No obstructions must be placed in front of the louver that could hamper the free flow (throw) of air.
• Roof top openings and / or discharge and supply louvers must be equipped with screens to prevent bird and insect infiltration.
As always, the best solution for each project balances acceptable heating performance (considering local weather conditions), capital costs, life cycle energy consumption, and limitations set forth by local building codes.
