- Periodic oil recovery operation(every 8hr) is required

as compressor oil level sensing is not possible
- During oil recovery operation, heating operation
must be paused and total performance is reduced.

- Precise sensor monitors oil levels in real time

performing recovery only when necessary
- An oil balancing and return algorithm works

Fast Heating and Cooling via Advanced Inverter

Cooling Operation Range Down to 10C (14F)

In conventional models, inverter compressor and on/off compressor operate one by one, which taking far longer to reach
maximum capacity. Thanks to LGs all inverter compressor system and high performance cycle design, MULTI V IV delivers
fast cooling or heating by operating two compressors simultaneously.

LG has expanded the temperature range for continuous cooling from -5C (23F) to -10C (14F) to provide a better
solution for zones that require four seasons cooling such as server rooms.
