Groundbreaking
Design

With the motor positioned at the top of the unit and the scroll located in the center, the R1 Compressor^TM represents a combination of technologies found in conventional scroll and rotary compressors.

*The efficiency comparison data is based on the conventional model (APG) and R1 (RJA) @ DOE A and DOE B condition, and the sound level data is based on between (ABA) and R1 (RJA). The test result may vary depending on the test condition.

Shaft-through
Structure

With increased stability the R1 Compressor^TM features a shaft that runs through the compressor, controlling the orbit with less impact and unleveling. Compared to conventional scroll designs with cantilevered mechanicals, better stability contributes to quieter operation and increased efficiency.

*The efficiency and sound level comparison is based on the conventional model (ABA/APG) and R1 (RJA) @ DOE A and DOE B condition. The test result may vary depending on the test condition.

Hybrid Wrap Design

LG's patented scroll wrap design performs with the improved efficiency.

Reduced Oil Loss

The compressor mechanical is located much closer to the oil supply, loss of oil in the bearing surfaces is less likely in the R1 Compressor^TM.

Simplified Structure

The R1 Compressor^TM boasts a simplified structure, The compression section is located lower in the unit and the bottom frame is removed. These design enhancements lead to a 20% weight reduction compared to our conventional rotary compressors.

*The product weight comparison is between conventional rotary (DPT) and R1 (RJB) at a similar heating capacity level.
