Question

difference berween normal split ac and inverter ac

Answer 1

Inverters are used in air conditioning equipment to vary, to modulate the speed of the compressor, asopposed to a standard split systemwhich just cycles the compressor on and off to maintain temperature control. Either one will provideacceptable temperature control in a space if they are sized and installed correctly, including the distribution ductwork and controls.While air conditioningsystems using inverters are more efficient than those without, they are also more expensive, which is the case with all efficiency upgrades, so it's a matter of spending more money initially to save money later, and the efficiency upgrade will eventually pay for itself in energy savings; the more operating hours per day or year, the fasterit will pay for itself.The other factor is airconditioning systemsusing variable speed compressors can maintain more exact temperature control than on/off systems, although it isn't usually a big issue or even noticeable in residential applications.Some of the inverter ACs are built on the newer direct drive technology that reduces the number of parts that are usedto transfer or transform a motion. This means a lesser wastage of power.Also, most of the Inverter ACs come with a fairly wide operating voltage range, they're able to adjust the power of the compressor according to the voltage being supplied.Some fail to notice this, but the quality ofelectrical fittings used in each AC increases with its BEE rating, one starred ACs being of the cheapest make while the Inverter ones being the topmost.An AC draws a considerable amount of power when it cycles its compressorto the on state. Also, if the compressor is totally shut off, it will turn itself back on only when the thermostat is triggered. How this may affect you : let's take an example of a room with ambient temperature of about 31 degrees. Suppose you set your non-inverter AC to 24 degrees celsius. The moment it reaches the 24-degree-shut-down-temperature, the compressor will turn off. Almost always the compressor will turn on when the temperature has increased considerably (say 26 degrees), thus increasing the effective power usage. And that's not all, while the AC is trying to bring the temperature back down, the incoming insolation will further try to increase the temperature above 26degrees, so in the end, you're looking at a significant run time of the compressor.In case of an inverter AC, it will actually cool the room a couple of degrees below the set temperature, and once it reaches that temperature, it will put the compressor ina low power mode just to cool the room enough to replace theincoming heat. This means that using a very low cooling capacity, it will be able to maintain a fairly constant temperature without having to put it's compressor to full load very frequently.
