Available in capacities from 5kW to 16kW, the Therma V Monobloc S has a footprint up to 41% smaller and is up to 22% lighter than its predecessor. According to LG, it operates down to -25°C and delivers water temperatures of up to 75°C, with an A+++/A++ ErP energy rating across the range. 

Homeowners can control the system via the LG ThinQ app, and installers can manage settings and run diagnostics remotely through LG’s BECON cloud platform. 

The Therma V R32 Monobloc delivers 51kW of heating capacity from a footprint of just 1.35m² and weighs just 335kg. 

It is said to holds 100% heating capacity down to -10°C, achieves a SCOP of 4.26 at low temperature and carries an A++/A++ ErP rating.

Designed for multi-family housing, offices, schools and other higher-demand settings, the 51kW can also be linked in cascade for larger projects, with up to eight units covering heating demands of up to 408kW. Remote monitoring, fault diagnostics, and firmware updates are all handled through LG’s BECON cloud platform.
