LG Round Cassette
As a market leader in HVAC solutions, LG Electronics (LG) continues to evolve its portfolio of advanced technologies with the launch of its new Round Cassette air conditioner for businesses in the Gulf region.
LG’s research has indicated that when an HVAC solution is typically designed, performance can often be sacrificed to meet aesthetic demands, or vice versa. With a mission to ensure unrivalled comfort, reliability and design, LG has ushered in its latest innovation, designed to complement spaces with high or exposed ceilings. The Round Cassette design is particularly well-suited for cafes, restaurants, museums, high-end department stores and hotels, which pride themselves on style, but also wish to offer their customers greater comfort.
According to an analysis of the most frequently used design terms in 2018 by Airbnb Plus hosts, (the company’s high-end tier), ‘high-ceilings’ was the most popular term used to describe a luxurious interior design. With ceiling displays playing a crucial role in interior design, businessowners pay great attention to choosing the right type of air conditioning system, which will match, rather than clash with the environment. A ceiling-mounted cassette AC, if designed well, can form an integral part of interior decoration. LG’s new Round Cassette air conditioner seeks to meet this objective and has been recognized with a Red Dot Design Award for its uniqueness.
The LG Round Cassette outclasses competing products, not only in terms of design, but also performance. Conventional round cassette type indoor units implement 3 separate air outlets which disperse air in 3 directions and create blind spots. The LG Round Cassette on the other hand, minimizes the junctions in the circular vent for a thoroughly distributed airflow, free of blind spots.
With a structure consisting of Crystal Vanes, users can implement 6-step precision control to distribute cool or warm air wherever it is needed, more effectively. This configuration is twice as precise as the 3-stage airflow control offered by other round cassettes. LG conducted extensive air chamber tests to ensure that the circular and precise airflow control allows for 30% faster cooling over conventional models. Even with this exceptional performance, the operating noise emission level of the LG Round Cassette is only 39dB(A), which is lower than that of a typical library at 40dB(A)[1].
The Round Cassette’s height is 330cm, approximately 15% less than that of conventional models. By reducing the height of the product, LG’s Round Cassette maximizes environment openness. Additionally, the AC’s drain and refrigerant pipes are conveniently located in one place on the unit’s body, minimizing the exposure of pipes and components. Hanger covers also provide a more refined aesthetic to installations.
LG’s new Round Cassette is also designed to provide installers with greater convenience. In addition to the shared location of pipes for quicker installation times, installers no longer need to tilt their heads back when installing the cassette, as the control box enables allows for the power supply cable to be connected more easily, from the side of the unit.
“When selecting a cassette AC unit for a business, performance and design must go hand-in-hand. Whether building owner, designer, or installer, we believe that the LG Round Cassette will appeal to all, with its revolutionary form factor. Backed by LG’s reliability and market expertise, the new AC provides more unique aesthetic possibilities for organizations of all backgrounds. We believe that the Round Cassette will not only fulfil the aesthetic needs of businesses in the region, but also provide their employees and customers with the comfort they deserve,” said Mr. Hongju Jeon, President, LG Electronics Gulf.
