The trade-off between speed and accuracy is something we see on the daily, so when we find something that works faster but with greater accuracy, it grabs attention.

Our world is advancing at record speed, just look at the technological change between 1900 and 1920 compared to the last 20 years, one barely changes while the other produces the internet, electric cars and artificial intelligence.

But this fast-paced world isn’t for everyone, the pressure to keep up is immense and the need for high-tech is ever-increasing. The display, semiconductor and data management sectors are especially susceptible with both speed and accuracy pivotal to success, which is why R&D centers have become invaluable for the precise control of an inconceivable amount of data.

It’s no surprise leading manufacturers and R&D centers must operate around the clock, incurring massive maintenance costs to control operations and ensure malfunctioning equipment is dealt with immediately to maintain an optimal environment and temperature.

Most responsibility lies on either the plant manager’s or building consultant’s shoulders, who must always be at the top of their game to run the business as smoothly as possible.

There are three key elements always on their mind – optimal efficiency, convenient maintenance and unparalleled reliability, so when they hear about the LG Oil-Free VSD Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller and its ability to do all three things at once, these hard-to-please managers will feel overwhelmed by the possibilities of this completely new concept.

Thanks to its magnetic bearing with innovative Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressor technology, the new LG Oil-Free VSD Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller achieves world-class energy efficiency with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 7.0, while also registering an impressive Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) of 12.0.

The use of LG’s versatile VSD compressor technology also lowers annual operation costs by 36% compared to conventional chillers by eliminating the oil management system. Moreover, unlike typical chillers that disturb nearby building occupants and neighbors with uncomfortable levels of noise, the LG Oil-Free VSD   Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller adopts a high-speed direct connection that works at just 73dB.

Alongside LG’s highly efficient compressor technology, the remarkably easy maintenance of the Oil-Free VSD Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller takes users to the next level of convenience. The solution’s black box identifies and records performance issues instantaneously and facilitates service tune-ups by pinpointing the exact cause of the problem with supreme ease.

What’s more, as it doesn’t require an oil management system, the chiller has a more reasonable compact form and significantly reduces the area’s ecological footprint by 22%.

With this reduced footprint, the Oil-Free VSD Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller offers capacities ranging from 200RT to 2,200RT – 200RT to 1,100RT with a single compressor, and 400RT to 2,200RT with dual compressors – that can be installed in a number of different applications from ice storage to large-scale district cooling.

Guaranteeing a reliable operational system during its whole lifespan is crucial, because achieving high efficiency as well as easy maintenance is simply not enough to impress data management center employees or large-scale facilities, where machinery must be up and running 24/7.

Taking this into account, high reliability dramatically raises competitiveness among competitors for micro-management and precise control. Not to let users down, the online UPS supplies constant power to the magnetic bearings and controller regardless of input fluctuations or power shortages, providing all-important protection against damage during power failures or blackouts.

This not only gives the user peace of mind, it also eliminates the long days of waiting around for something bad to happen. Central control, in conjunction with the building’s management system, is also available via LG’s dependable Building Energy Control (BECON) option.

By integrating all equipment within a building into one single platform, BECON allows flexible consolidated control that communicates with different systems to give users access to numerous useful functions online, including energy cycle monitoring and temperature control that’s fully functional no matter how far one component may be from another.

It’s no secret that competition is fiercer than ever, and companies must make every effort to stay on top. Modern factories now need a solution that is reliable, efficient and can solve multiple problems at once.

This is where the LG Oil-Free VSD Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller comes in with its new concept that paves a new, reliable and more efficient way of running a 24/7 factory or data management facility. LG’s chiller boasts an incredibly compact form and the ability to thrive in all kinds of environments, under numerous applications for a long period of time.

It’s a fantastic, long-lasting upgrade to any factory that will keep employees happy with its unwavering performance and minimal upkeep. There’s little indication of advancements slowing down, which is why the Oil-Free VSD Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller is the most-trusted solution in helping businesses excel in the modern world.
