What's the difference between inverter air conditioner and ordinary air conditioner?

The main differences between inverter air conditioner and ordinary air conditioner are air conditioner structure, compressor control mode and power consumption:

1, air conditioning structure is different, frequency conversion air conditioning is to add a frequency converter to the structure of ordinary air conditioning. Ordinary air conditioners have no frequency converter.

2. The compressor control mode is different. The inverter air conditioner is generally controlled by a microcomputer, which detects indoor and outdoor signals such as temperature, fan speed and motor current. Because the frequency of power supply can't be changed and the rotating speed of compressor is basically unchanged, ordinary air conditioners always rely on "turning on and off" the compressor to adjust the indoor temperature.

3. The power consumption is different. The inverter air conditioner uses the built-in inverter to realize the rational use of energy, and the compressor will not be turned on frequently, which can save energy by more than 30% as a whole. Because the power supply frequency of ordinary fixed-frequency air conditioners cannot be changed, it is easy to cause the room temperature to be hot and cold between the start and stop of the compressor, which consumes more power.
