LG Electronics Unveils New AI System Air Conditioner... AI Boosts Performance and Stability

LG MULTI V 7 Debuts at HARFKO 2026
Enhanced Features with Dual AI and New Compressor
Expands Cooling Portfolio for AI Data Centers

LG Electronics unveiled a next-generation commercial system air conditioner that uses on-device AI (artificial intelligence) and a new compressor to improve cooling and heating performance and energy efficiency.

LG Electronics said it had unveiled its new commercial system air conditioner, the LG MULTI V 7, at HARFKO 2026, the Korea International HVAC&R Exhibition, which opened on October 21 at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. The company is also showcasing integrated heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions designed for a range of spaces, from homes to commercial and industrial facilities and data centers.

Unveiled for the first time, the LG MULTI V 7 features dual AI combining on-device AI and cloud AI, improved performance and efficiency through a new compressor, and a design that harmonizes with its surroundings. It is a next-generation system air conditioner that uses a large-capacity variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system.

The on-device AI in the product learns and analyzes the installation environment and customers' usage patterns in real time to optimize operation. Cloud AI improves the product's performance and stability through intelligent analysis and optimized operating strategies.

These capabilities enable AI autonomous operation that responds proactively to changes in the environment. AI Smart Care analyzes a range of virtual operating scenarios and recommends operating cycles that take both comfort and energy efficiency into account. The system also features functions that adjust noise levels to suit the surrounding environment, as well as AI-based fault prediction and diagnosis.

The system also uses LG Electronics' SPIN X compressor, which incorporates the company's new technology. A compressor is a key component that compresses refrigerant in air conditioners and refrigerators. LG Electronics said it improved cooling and heating performance, energy efficiency, and operational stability by refining the compressor's structure and introducing new technologies, including a two-way oil supply structure and real-time oil-condition monitoring.

LG Electronics is also exhibiting HVAC solutions tailored to residential spaces. The exhibition area is designed to resemble an actual home, with spaces ranging from an outdoor-unit room and utility room to a living room and bathroom. The company is presenting a future-ready residential solution centered on a heat pump that integrates cooling, heating, and hot water, as well as heat pump-based cooling, heating, and hot water solutions optimized for South Korea's apartment housing environment.

The company is also showcasing a smart, integrated air solution that connects air conditioners, air purifiers, and ventilation products to manage indoor air quality and energy efficiency together.

In its AI data center exhibition area, LG Electronics is showcasing cooling equipment spanning air cooling and liquid cooling. For air cooling, the company is exhibiting chillers that produce large volumes of chilled water and Fan Wall Units (FWUs) that supply cold air inside data centers and expel heat. Chilled water produced by the chillers can be used not only for air cooling in data centers but also for liquid cooling.

For liquid cooling, the company is presenting coolant distribution units (CDUs), which distribute coolant to individual pieces of equipment, and cold plates, which directly absorb heat generated by semiconductor chips. It is also exhibiting an immersion-cooling solution, considered a next-generation data center cooling technology, and an immersion tank currently under development.

LG Electronics plans to expand the applications of its HVAC business by leveraging its competitive strength in core components. "We will continue to expand advanced solutions based on Core Tech, our differentiated strength in components, across every area that requires cooling solutions, from homes to commercial and industrial facilities and AI data centers," said Lee Jaeseong, president of LG Electronics' ES (Eco Solution) Business Division.
