SCROLL FOR WINNERS

THE 2020 DEALER DESIGN AWARDS

For the past 17 years, The ACHR NEWS has honored HVAC design excellence. The contest was established to honor exemplary manufacturing, design, and implementation. It has consistently delivered on that promise, displaying some of the most innovative and conveniently installed, maintained, and serviced products ever created. Our panel of independent contractor judges, many of whom are ACCA members, had a tough task narrowing down the abundance of product applications that were received. Scroll down to see the gold, silver, and bronze winners across 13 product categories.

ABOUT THE AWARDS

LG Electronics is focused on developing new innovations across multiple platforms. They are committed to providing commercial electronic products that help businesses perform better. To support this, the company has developed unique and state-of-the-art business products. They offer a wide range of products, including information displays, digital signage for advertising, commercial system air conditioners, VRF systems, and tailored solutions for different vertical markets.

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of HVACR compressors, LG Component Solutions’ Two-Stage Modulating Scroll Compressor brings enhanced performance to OEMs — enough to earn the manufacturer a Bronze award for components and accessories. Stress-tested to LG’s reliability standards, the two-stage compressor features improvements and benefits made for technicians and manufacturers alike. Designed for multi-family, mixed-use, and other spaces requiring multiple HVAC units, the LG unit compressor operates in two stages to improve efficiency by reducing capacity, particularly in moderate and unpredictable environments. The compressor features a weather-resistant solenoid that is accessible and makes service easier. It is engineered to exceed the typical life cycle of a standard, internal valve. Its 24V AC connection simplifies electrical troubleshooting and eliminates the need for special plugs. “As a high-efficiency alternative to the previous single-stage model, this compressor technology lowers energy consumption in air conditioning systems by operating at 66 percent capacity on cooler days when demand is low, and operating at full capacity on warmer days when demand is high,” said Mike Roberston, senior account manager at LG. “By reducing short cycling during cooler days, the unit lowers indoor humidity by increasing the time spent circulating air across the evaporator coil.” LG’s compressor is designed for both residential and commercial usage. The product line-up was expanded to target commercial applications as of 2019. LG invested R&D resources for four years to design/develop this base technology.
