28 Summary Chandra HETG has observed 36 LMXBs (identified Atoll, Banana, and Z-Sources) for ~ 3.2 Msec in 104 observations. The Atoll source 4U 1822 -37 shows a thin ionization layer of ionization parameter log  < 2.6 inferring L x ~ 10 38 erg/s; Highly ionized Fe XXVI emission from central corona The Atoll source 4U 0614+091 is likely of ultra-compact nature with an accretion disk radius of a few 10 9 cm, probable higher Ne abundance. It exhibits a highly variable and moderately relativistic O VIII line from it inner disk The Z-source Cyg X-2 exhibits broad line emission indicating the presence of an extended (r~10 10 cm) ADC. Line fluxes indicate ADC heating from HB --> NB --> FB from sub- to super Eddington luminosities,
