The benefits offered by inverter ACs

The inverter technology in air conditioners has an electrical device called ‘inverter’ which converts fixed frequency electricity to a variable frequency. This allows the compressor of the inverter AC to run at different speed to save electricity.  For instance, a 1.5-ton inverter split AC becomes 0.3 ton by running at a low speed. Since an inverter AC varies its cooling tonnage output according to the load, it turns out to be extremely efficient and saves electricity usage.
Thus, in this article we will point out the various advantages of an inverter split AC over the traditional one-
  • Reduced electricity bills:

An inverter split air-conditioner can save up to 40 percent electricity as compared to the traditional model. According to physics, the frictional losses are more at higher speeds. It varies according to the square of the velocity. Therefore, this is how an inverter technology turns out to be more efficient than a normal one, thereby saving electricity.
On the other hand, a normal air conditioner starts and stops regularly. The starting current drawn is very high as it has to overcome the inertia forces of the static mass. Therefore, since an inverter compressor does not stop during operation, it turns out to be the efficient machine.

  • Steady and constant cooling offered by inverter split AC:

A non-inverter technology cools the room by about -2 degrees Celsius from the set temperature and then turns the compressor off. For example, if the thermostat is set at 23 degrees Celsius, the temperature will be reduced to 21 degrees Celsius. After that, its only the fan of the air conditioner that keeps functioning. After a while, when the temperature of the room increases, the compressor starts working again. However, in case of an inverter split air conditioner, there is no swing of temperature fluctuation. They only show a difference of maximum 1 degree Celsius than the set temperature. So, whereas a normal AC makes the room either too hot or cold, an inverter technology maintains a constant cooling, thereby allowing a peaceful sleep at night. 

  • Inverter technology offers silent machines:

Inverter air conditioners are extremely silent. Since they work in low speed, they are much more silent. In inverter split ACs, leaving aside the low-compressor noise, there is no noise emitted in the room. In fact, there are no noises produced from the rush of Freon gas into the AC evaporator fan. 

Now, that we know the benefits of inverter technology, the next question that arises is which is the best inverter AC? Um, well, deciphering which the best is not all that easy. However, with inverter technology taking the market by storm, it can undoubtedly be claimed that ACs with inverter technology are definitely the better option than the normal ones. If you haven’t changed your AC yet, I bet it’s time to do so!
