Aspen Pumps
When Aspen Pumps Group was developing the product name for its latest condensate removal mini pump, it didn’t take long. It’s called the Silent+
Mini White
because you just can’t hear it. At a level of only 16dB, it’s the quietest mini pump on the market. To give this statistic context, silence has a decibel level of 0 and a whisper a decibel level of 30, so this pump will be a boon to the residential market where the reduction of ambient noise is a crucial factor; it will also be a signifi cant addition to an HVAC/R engineer’s tool kit. As USPs go ‘silence’ is major, but Aspen has built in many more features to the Silent+
LG Electronics Mini White that make it
the very best in its class. It delivers a fl ow rate of 45 l/h at 0m to 23 l/h at 10m head; it only uses 2w whereas the equivalent competitor’s piston pump uses 17 -20w, and its intelligent technology enables it to self-adapt to the incoming rate of condensate fl ow through variable speed technology, in conjunction with a unique active capacitance sensor, a fi rst in the HVAC/R industry. This not only saves energy, but also makes this mini pump suitable for use with the most powerful mini splits on the market, even considering summer temperatures and increased relative humidity, which generates signifi cantly higher rates of condensate fl ow. When it comes to installation and aftercare, nothing could be simpler: it’s fast and simple to fi t, straight out of the box with no on-site set up needed; it has a unique contamination-resistant sensor and a double-insulated reservoir which eliminates condensation; it’s simple to unclip for cleaning and maintenance and has a three-stage fi ltration system which reduces maintenance visits. The Silent+
Mini White also has a
thermally protected maintenance-free motor and NO/NC relay high level safety to prevent water damage in the event of a system failure. Aesthetically, this mini pump solves a lot of problems: its low-
profi le design means it can be positioned within high wall unit shadow line; it’s reversible so can be fi tted either side of the unit and it blends in perfectly, complementing leading manufacturers’ high wall equipment.

LG Electronics (LG) has launched the new Multi V i, a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) solution equipped with the company’s highly evolved AI engine, in key global markets starting in Europe. Suitable for mid- to high-rise buildings, such as offi ces, schools, shopping malls, apartment buildings and hotels, the energy effi cient Multi V i comes with a range of diff erentiated, smart features that help reduce energy consumption and deliver a more comfortable indoor environment – and a quieter outdoor environment – all-year-round. The new units are available in the UK now and are available in a single unit up to 26 HP – the current Multi V 5 is only available up to 20 HP. The Multi V i’s AI engine enables AI Smart Care, which leverages spatial and situational learning to optimise operation; adjusting cooling or heating power according to several variables, including the number of people in the room, humidity levels, and indoor and outside ambient temperature. This enables the product to improve energy savings by up to 24.7%. Meanwhile, AI Indoor Space Care helps maintain a steady temperature and reduce energy consumption by automatically turning on indoor units in occupied areas, and turning them off in unoccupied areas. Another effi ciency-focused feature, AI Energy Management
allows users to set energy consumption targets, which can help to lower the overall power usage of the Multi V i. The Multi V i also helps to enhance the comfort of those living in neighbouring buildings or houses. Users can set an operational noise limit (from 50 to 70 decibels) in advance to ensure that the sound produced by the outdoor unit does not exceed the level of volume they’ve specifi ed. Providing smart performance and convenience, the Weather Information Interlocking Control feature of LG’s VRF solution automatically selects custom operation modes – including Automatic Pre-heating and Automatic Snow Removal – based on the weather conditions. Automatic Pre-heating allows users to enjoy a warm indoor environment, even on the coldest days of the year, by automatically heating the room in advance, while Automatic Snow Removal prevents snow from accumulating and freezing on the outdoor unit.
