Inverter control for maximum energy efficiency
 |
 |
Inverter technology uses a variable speed compressor motor similar to a car. It
simply slows down and speeds up as needed to hold a selected comfort setting. This
means the desired room temperature will be reached more quickly and efficiently in
comparison to fixed speed systems.
Inverter technology provides a more precise room temperature without the fluctuations
and power wastage of fixed speed systems. Because of this Inverter technology is
significantly more energy efficient with energy savings of up to 30%.
The speed control of the outdoor unit also means quieter operation, this is
important especially at night in residential areas. |

What is the difference between a fixed and inverter system?
|
|
 |
| |
Fixed Speed System
Slowly gets to temperature as output rating is fixed.
Then turns on and off to maintain room temperature. |
Fixed Speed
A fixed speed system only has a single speed compressor motor that is either on or off.
It works similar to a single speed fan heater running at its only speed that switches off
when the desired temperature is reached and switches on again when the temperature drops
to a set level. As there is only one speed that the fixed speed system can run at, it
takes a lot longer to get to the desired temperature. As such this tends to lead to a
lot more power usage in comparison to inverter driven systems. |

Inverter Systems
Increased output to achieve set temperature faster.
Then varies the output to maintain a constant room temperature. |
Inverter Technology

slows down and speeds up as needed to hold a selected comfort setting. This means the
desired room temperature will be reached more quickly and maintained more efficiently.
