LG Electronics unveiled heating and cooling solutions ranging from residential to industrial systems at North America's biggest HVAC exhibition. The company said on Feb. 2 it took part in AHR EXPO 2026 being held in Las Vegas.
AHR EXPO is North America's biggest HVAC exhibition, and LG Electronics positioned unitary systems and AI data center cooling solutions among its core exhibits. It set up residential, commercial and industrial zones and showcased heating and cooling solutions tailored to North American market characteristics for each area.
In the residential area, it unveiled its lineup of outdoor units for a unitary inverter heat pump. Unitary systems are the most commonly used residential heating and cooling system in North America, where single-family homes are prevalent. LG Electronics strengthened safety by applying a refrigerant leak detection sensor.
It also expanded the scope of its HVAC solutions into the hot water segment. The inverter heat pump water heater is a product certified by ENERGY STAR. The tankless gas water heater supplies hot water without separate storage and applies a dual stainless steel heat exchanger.
In the industrial area, it introduced a liquid cooling solution for AI data centers, the CDU, a cooling distribution unit. The CDU attaches a metal cooling plate directly to chips such as CPUs and GPUs and sends cooling water through it. Compared with conventional air cooling, it requires less installation space and has higher energy efficiency. It can be used reliably in environments such as AI data centers, where server rack density is high and heat generation is large.
In the commercial area, it unveiled for the first time a rooftop unit manufactured locally at its Huntsville production facility in the United States. The rooftop unit maintains heating performance down to minus 5 degrees Celsius without an auxiliary backup heater. It also displayed the VRF product LG MULTI V i, which applies the eco-friendly refrigerant R32. Its global warming potential is about 30 percent of that of the existing R410A refrigerant.
Lee Jae-sung (이재성), head of LG Electronics' ES Business Division and president, said the company will accelerate its push into the global HVAC market, including North America, by expanding advanced HVAC solutions based on core technologies such as differentiated unitary systems and AI data center cooling solutions across residential, commercial and industrial applications.
