is created through innovative technologies.
At our products' core, performance-defining innovation lies in the technologies of Inverter Linear Compressor™ in refrigerators, Inverter DirectDrive™ in washing machines, and DUAL Inverter Compressor™ in air conditioners.
It's not just about the essential tech and components.
It's what LG is committed to, unwaveringly, for our customers,
It's what we've built from the ground up to set ourselves apart from others.
It's what has earned the trust of our customers over the years.
Now, as we all shape towards sustainable lifestyles,
LG Core Tech, too, evolves with us.
Core Tech is the foundation of our technology representing
our perspectives and philosophy,
and dedicated to culture tech that will create a better environment for all.
LG Inverter Linear Compressor™, powering refrigeration innovation
The compressor is the beating heart of a refrigerator, circulating refrigerant to produce cold air and deliver differentiated performance and reliability. LG's Inverter Linear Compressor™ delivers motor force to the piston in a straight line without rotating, compressing it to increase energy efficiency. With inverter control for precise motor speeds, LG's compressor technology, first pioneered in 1993, has been powering refrigerators since 2001. The Inverter Linear Compressor™ exemplifies how LG is leading the global refrigerator market based on differentiated core technologies.

Year-round energy efficiency and savings
Want to smile over your electricity bill?
LG Inverter Linear Compressor™ pistons move in a straight motion rather than rotating, enabling direct power transfer for 32% more efficiency than constant speed compressors.
