New LG MULTI V5 commercial air conditioner offers more options for less energy

LG Electronics (LG) has launched its flagship MULTI V5 commercial air conditioner in Kenya, designed to offer exceptional performance.

The latest in the company’s successful MULTI V line, one MULTI V5 unit can equip up to 10 floors of a building and is a favorable fit for Kenya’s bustling hotel industry. Kenya will be the first market on the continent to experience the new AC.

It is arguably the best commercial grade AC in the market with a higher capacity and 20% reduced power consumption, a significant jump from the MULTI V 4, which was launched in 2013

Equipped with LG’s Ultimate Inverter Compressor and boasting a large capacity for outdoor units, the MULTI V 5 is a powerful climate control solution that excels in even the most strenuous climates.

Dual Sensing Control

One of the most impressive features of LG’s MULTI V 5 is its Dual Sensing Control, which helps the air conditioning unit evaluate climate conditions down to the smallest detail.

“Unlike conventional air conditioners which only sense temperature, the MULTI V 5 measures both temperature and humidity levels for outdoor and indoor environments. This comprehensive understanding of multiple climate conditions helps the solution determine its parameters in order to achieve optimal energy efficiency and maximum indoor comfort levels,” said Mr. Hochul Han, Product Manager Air Conditioning East Africa.

Ultimate Inverter Compressor

The LG MULTI V 5’s new Ultimate Inverter Compressor offers unrivaled efficiency, reliability and durability. Improving on the 15Hz to 150 Hz operational range of its predecessor, it operates from 10 Hz to 165 Hz. This widened range increases part load efficiency and enhances the MULTI V 5’s ability to quickly reach the desired temperature.

In addition, the MULTI V 5’s Smart Oil Management uses sensors to check the compressor’s oil balance in real time, minimizing unnecessary oil recovery operation.

Ocean Black Fin

Equipped with LG’s exclusive Ocean Black Fin, the MULTI V 5 is protected from corrosive substances such as salt, sand and other elements brought in by sea winds as well as industrial pollution.

The black coating of the Ocean Black Fin heat exchanger keeps water from accumulating in order to minimize moisture buildup. This durability enhancement prolongs the product’s lifespan and lowers maintenance costs, paving the way for improved performance.

Auto Dust Removal

Unlike previous models that required manual cleaning, the Auto Dust Removal feature allows the LG MULTI V 5 to provide fully automated, convenient cleaning. The feature removes dust on the outdoor unit’s heat exchanger by reversing fan rotation to eliminate accumulated sand and dust.

This makes it possible for users to operate their air conditioners comfortably without worrying about the malfunctions that can occur due to dust accumulation, a particularly welcome addition in desert climates.

LG’s new flagship system air conditioning solution, the MULTI V 5, will be available in Kenya and entire East Africa.
