Creating Comfort at VINSEUM Museum with Integrated HVAC System

• Project Scope: Comprehensive HVAC retrofit at the VINSEUM museum in Spain using a 344 kW capacity configuration.
• Core Technology: LG AC installation leveraging variable refrigerant flow systems (Multi V VRF) featuring heat recovery.
• Advanced Control: Integration of a Dual Sensing Control to strictly manage indoor temperature and humidity for heritage preservation.

VINSEUM, the Museum of Wine Cultures of Catalonia, is a historic cultural institution in Vilafranca del Penedès, Spain. During its large-scale renovation, the museum required a reliable, consistent, and energy-conscious commercial HVAC system to protect its winemaking heritage and improve visitor comfort.

Before the comprehensive HVAC retrofit, VINSEUM museum struggled to maintain stable indoor conditions suitable for heritage preservation. Temperature, humidity, and air quality controls were insufficient for delicate artifacts and exhibition materials within the museum spaces. Museum leadership recognized that outdated HVAC infrastructure limited both conservation quality and the overall visitor experience.

LG has partnered with VINSEUM to deliver an optimized VRF system that aligns perfectly with the museum’s renovation goals. LG Engineers proposed a Multi V VRF solution with heat recovery, complemented by advanced Dual Sensing Control, which senses both temperature and humidity to enhance indoor comfort. LG has supported the project throughout—from system design to on-site commissioning—to help meet the installation requirements.

System Installation
The final commercial HVAC configuration includes:
• Multi V VRF systems units equipped with heat recovery
• Total operating capacity of 344 kW
• Seamless capability to run heating and cooling simultaneously across different zones

This precise installation of VRF system technology supports consistent environmental conditions within the museum’s renovated spaces.

With LG’s advanced HVAC technology in place, VINSEUM strengthened its ability to maintain controlled indoor conditions essential for preserving its wine-culture heritage while also enhancing comfort throughout the museum and supporting its long-term operational goals. This achievement was made possible through close collaboration between LG’s engineering team, the museum’s management, and on-site technical partners, whose coordinated efforts ensured a smooth installation of VRF system and a successful outcome for VINSEUM’s climate-control objectives.
