LG Electronics, the world’s leading innovator of air conditioners, and its sole distributor in Saudi Arabia HG Ibrahim Shaker Co, have announced the launch of a new line of chillers in the regional market targeting central air-conditioning facilities of large spaces.

The all-new energy efficient air-cooled screw chillers from LG with applications in industrial processes as well as ice/thermal storage facilities are designed to operate under high ambient conditions and also have anticorrosive features keeping in mind their usage in conditions where chances of corrosion are high.
The LG RCAW series – coming in two models, the high efficiency 50- to 400-tonne and the compact 40- to 540-tonne – offers high performance and reliability for industrial and commercial markets. The new range of chillers further builds on LG’s world-famous air-conditioning manufacturing expertise.
“We have decades of experience in providing expert cooling solutions for our customers and we owe it to our customers to provide energy-efficient cooling. The launch of the energy-efficient air-cooled screw chillers is a major step in this direction. We remain committed to maximising energy savings for our customers,” said SH Lee, applied product sales and marketing manager.
The screw-chillers come with low noise and low vibration features, with advanced microcomputer controls. The full dot LCD offers rich human-machine interface and semi-hermetic twin-rotor screw compressor results in high reliability. While the high efficiency screw chiller offers world-class efficiency with ARI standards coupled with optimised compressor design, the compact design is a smaller and lighter model compared to those of other major chiller manufacturers catering to restriction of space.

World-class technology
“The new chillers will be used in central air-conditioning systems across commercial, industrial and institutional users in the region. We have world-class technology from LG coupled with a huge market potential in the Middle East. We are confident that the air-cooled screw chillers from LG will revolutionise the regional industrial cooling sector,” said engineer Hassan Mouthaseb, national applied sales manger of HG Ibrahim Shaker.
Simon Lee, general manager of LG Electronics in Saudi Arabia, said: “Through our air-cooled screw chillers, we are promising our clientele in the region the latest innovations in the field of cooling systems and help them with an energy-efficient option. Dominating customer service indices, raising brand awareness to new heights and bringing the right products to market at the right price and at the right time remain our core objective at LG Electronics Saudi Arabia.”
Screw chillers are considered reliable in view of the lower number of moving parts. LG’s new range will go a long way in energy efficiency and boost cycle optimisations, especially for customers with varying load applications such as multiplexes, malls, offices, hospitals and hotels, LG said.
Present at a press conference to launch the new chillers were SH Lee, Mouthaseb, Kim Hung Yul, research and development manager, LG, and Munzer Khamash, central AC manager, HG Ibrahim Shaker.
