LG Dual Inverter 14,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner: Startup and temp check

- THIS VIDEO IS NOT A REVIEW!
I got curious about how quickly the temperature drops on my LG dual inverter, given the fact that it gradually ramps up the compressor, so I decided to just quickly shoot this raw video.
nothing special here, just a quick thing that I made because I was curious.

Sorry, I have to call out the inaccuracies. The temp gun you have is for spot-checking temperature. I have not found a good explanation for it, but when cold air is blowing at an infrared temp sensor like you have, it will get colder and colder and colder, and give a very erroneous reading. The longer you hold it there, the colder it will read. The best explanation I can come up with is the cold air goes in the cavity where the sensor is and stays there, skewing further results.
It's nowhere near as cold as you show. Use a temperature probe and see the actual temperature.
I'll see if I've got one laying around. Otherwise, I'll pin this as a disclaimer of sorts.
I always use a meat thermometer when doing a temp check
@@Smurdle450 Thanks.
UPDATE: I just discovered this unit has an internal temperature sensor to measure the temp at the coils. This temperature will obviously be quite a bit cooler than the air output temp but most likely should give a better idea than the infrared readings.
At 61hz (max capacity), the unit reports 46°F. Weirdly, at 40 Hz, a lower speed, it reports 43°F. The only thing I can think of was that the fan wasn't going as fast, maybe allowing the air to be cooler.
@@Smurdle450 See, those temperatures are a lot more reasonable. And yes, a lower fan speed will definitely make the coils colder. The coils are basically a "reverse heat sink", in this case they give up their cold (actually lack of heat) to the air, to be expelled into the room. If you don't pass as much air, the coils will get colder. Just like if you stalled the fan completely, the coils will freeze up. They need the air flowing to prevent that.
this the best video ever
LG missed the mark on cooling. I just installed the 10K Dual Inverter Window AC in my 200sqft shed. This unit is rated for up to 450sqft. With is tiny 2.5" by 13.5" air vent it is very limited in what it can push out. While we are all concerned with efficiency and noise. They completely missed the mark on cooling.
To be fair my shed has no insulation and it is 95% here in Florida and my shed is pretty tall, but not more then 300 to 350sqft counting the roof.
When I point the air vents to the left or to the right, I can not feel any air on the left or the right. I can still feel it straight on.
The AC unit is installed directly in line with the door. So when I first walk in and I am 10' from this 10,000 BTU AC I can feel the air blowing, but it is not very cool at 10'. When I move closer in to 5' from the unit I can start to feel it is a little cooler and if I am right on top of it, it is blowing cold.
At this point I would rather have an inefficient unit that is load, but actually does what a large AC unit should do, and that is cool down the small area quickly.
That's an interesting install
I won't even give it that lol, it's not even close to a correct install.
Still works better than a portable...
Very nice unit.
Indeed it is. Quiet and powerful.
Nice, it does not take too long to drop temperature.
It's pretty cool, pun absolutely intended
Thanks for watching!
0:29, Moment when the compressor starts.
Is it still working fine for you? and have there been any issues with it since you purchased it?
I'm planning on ordering one of these LG Dual Inverter 14,000 BTU Window Air Conditioners, and I was wanting to get a brace/support installed before hand. (Before it arrives, actually.) I'm wondering, the brace instructions say that if the AC Unit itself in heavier to one side to move the brace over 3-inches in the direction. Is there a weight imbalance to one side with this mode LG AC Unit? If so, which side? *Thank you!*

If the unit has any weight imbalance, it'd be towards the right side (looking at it from the inside). That's where the compressor is.
However, my friend has the same unit and they have their brace in the dead center, and they've had no issues. It didn't feel noticeably imbalanced when we were installing it.
@@Smurdle450 Thank you so much for your feedback, Honorable Smurdle450!

how much watt pull in energy efficient
Energy saver does not decrease energy use much, all it does is stop the fan from running when the compressor is off.
The unit is still allowed to pull the full 1200w when cooling.
A fair number of reviews on the LG website say the unit is unreliable and fails. How reliable has your unit been?
My unit hasn't missed a beat so far.
My previous LG is 7 years old and still runs like new.
@@Smurdle450 Thanks!
@@julla1416 of course!
I will say I'm not a fan of some LG products, but their air conditioners have never given me trouble.
@@Smurdle450 I'm going to get one!
@@julla1416 I hope you like it as much as I do! The 14,000 BTU is a beast of a machine!
what does duel inverter mean
Dual inverter signifies that it has an inverter driven twin-rotary compressor.
A compresor that gradually starts up and changes its speed depending on the cooling necessity.
Sounds like bus
