Global and regional digital leader LG Electronics has launched the Tropical Multi V series, its latest innovation in the air-conditioning systems, underlining its leadership position in the global air-conditioning market and highlighting its commitment to safeguard the environment. 

A technology exclusive to LG, Tropical Multi V is a heating & cooling system which makes it possible to operate cooling and heating as per the customer requirements from the same outdoor unit, serving both cost and energy efficiency needs. Unlike conventional, first and second generation air conditioners, this third generation air-conditioner is especially suitable for hotels, hospitals, and buildings where space-specific heating/cooling control is essential. 

Mr. Chris Ahn, GM-AC Division of LG Electronics, mentions: “While building our leadership position in the global air conditioner manufacturing industry, LG would like to highlight its endeavour to create products that make perfect environmental and economical sense.   

“The highly efficient Tropical Multi V technology is part of this commitment. By combining our new energy solution business with our industry-leading air conditioners, we are responding to the greatest challenge of our generation – creating alternative sources of energy that are sustainable by using eco-friendly refrigerant,” Mr. Dough Hahn, GM-AC Academy of LG Electronics added. 

The Tropical Multi V series has proved to cut down electricity consumption by 70 per cent. This type of air-conditioners is suitable for high rise apartment buildings, private villas, offices, high rises and hotels. It can also work in high temperatures, unlike regular units, and is perfectly suitable forMiddle East climatic conditions.  

Tropical Multi V boasts a comprehensive range of models and designs to suit all requirements including the picture frame-style ARTCOOL series. Unlike other air-conditioners, where the maximum piping is 50 metres, Multi V boasts total piping facilities which reaches up to 1000 metres with elevation of 100 mts. The system features a central control system and an easy billing control where one can check individual and accumulated power consumption. The system also gives freedom of monitoring and controlling from remote area through web enabled services. 

Furthermore, a highly advanced black box records operation data history for three minutes before system failure. It also conducts precise analysis and decisions as well as fast trouble-shooting.  

The development comes close on the heels of LG’s announcement last month that it would be expanding into the energy solution business to actively respond to energy and environmental issues by launching energy efficient solutions. Through this move, the company expects to achieve global sales of USD 7 billion by 2010.  

LG has showed enormous growth in the air conditioner market, especially in overseas markets, and has been the world’s largest air conditioner manufacturer for seven consecutive years. LG has also expanded its market share in commercial air conditioner markets, thanks to its high energy-efficiency technology.  

In Oman LG Electronics is represented by Oman Gulf Enterprises LLC part of the OTE Group with wide network of Sales and Service operations throughout Sultanate of Oman.
