Air-conditioning Knowledge base – Inverter Technology….
Whats an Inverter?
An Inverter is a type of power conversion circuit that electronically regulates the voltage, current, and frequency of a device. In an inverter air conditioner, this circuit controls the revolutions of the compressor and hence the air conditioner’s output.Raising the frequency increases the output, lowering the frequency reduces it.
In this way, inverter air conditioner’s provide much finer temperature control than non-inverter models.
Advantages
Quick Comfort: As soon as an inverter air conditioner is switched on, it provides the exact amount of power needed to rapidly cool or heat the room. This enables it to reach the set temperature in about a quarter of the time required by non-inverter models. So you’re comfortable soon after you arrive home on a hot summer day, or cold winter morning.
Energy-Saving: For optimum use of limited energy resources, an inverter air conditioner features an inverter circuit providing extremely efficient operation. Improved heat exchanger and compressor performance, precise microcomputer control and other innovations further assure dramatically boosted efficiency. So even though you get speedy, flexible operation, you use less electricity.
Flexible Power Control: You’re always comfortable with an inverter air conditioner. After quickly reaching the set temperature, it finely adjusts output power to maintain a constant temperature. So there are no uncomfortable temperature swings, while electricity is used more efficiently. Broad output power capability also assures continued comfort even if the number of people in a room changes. And at maximum output, an inverter can deliver warm comfort even in the coldest winters.
