2 STAGES. 1 EFFICIENT COMPRESSOR. LG's 2-stage scroll compressor operates at 2 capacities, allowing it to function in savings mode in moderate environments and in power mode in high demand situations. By modulating between 2 stages, it runs longer and more effi ciently than its single stage counterpart. Flexible Capacity * Prevents short cycling by running at a lower capacity when demands are moderate. Savings Mode * Compressor runs at 67% capacity * Bypass ports are kept open to reduce the capacity and stress on the compressor * Used in low demand situations Power Mode * Compressor runs at 100% capacity for faster cool times * Bypass ports are kept closed to keep the air at full pressure * Used in high demand situations (including extreme environments) PRODUCT FEATURES External Solenoid Valve Designed for easy troubleshooting and solenoid coil replacement Optimized Motor Motor starting torque offers optimized motor starts in both first stage and second stage Optimized Ratios The 2-stage scroll compressor's wrap design optimizes volume ratio, and its bypass ports optimize compression ratios by opening and closing depending on stage lg.com/global/business/compressor-scroll-two-stagehttp://www.lg.com/global/business/compressor-scroll-two-stage
