Benefits of Variable-Speed Inverter Compressors
An inverter compressor utilizes a variable frequency drive to control the speed of the compressor motor in order to modulate cooling output. Inverter compressors offer a number of advantages over traditional compressor technology.
Inverter compressors conserve energy. Unlike traditional single-speed compressors that cycle off and on at maximum capacity as indoor temperatures rise and fall, inverter compressors continually alter the speed of the compressor to meet demand. Inverter compressors use only the amount of power needed, often running at as low as 25% capacity, and they rarely turn off, eliminating inefficient start/stop cycles that draw high current. Occupant comfort is improved by continually maintaining humidity levels and eliminating temperature fluctuations common to traditional units. Because they operate at lower speeds and are not constantly turning on and off, inverter compressors are quieter – an added advantage where homes are in close proximity. Soft starts and elimination of on/off cycling mean less mechanical stress, lower service costs, and decreased wear.
