PROS AND CONS OF INVERTER AIR CONDITIONERS

    In recent years, inverter air conditioners have become increasingly popular. They are equipped with a special device - an inverter, which allows you to adjust the frequency of the compressor. Such an air conditioner can regulate the power of work, but what does this mean in practice? What are the main pros and cons of this type of air conditioner?

    An inverter air conditioner is much quieter than usual. Since air conditioners of this type almost never operate at full power, the noise level reaches 15 dB, which corresponds to the volume of rustling leaves or whispers. For example, the maximum permissible noise level for residential premises at night is 25-30 dB. The minimum noise level of non-inverter air conditioners is 20-25 dB.

    An inverter air conditioner works not only for cooling, but also for heating the air. Most inverter air conditioners can operate at low temperatures - down to -15C, and some down to -43C (when using special winter kits). Thus, with the help of one air conditioner, you can create comfort not only in summer, but also during the transition period, and in our area and all year round. Non-inverter air conditioners are limited to an external temperature of -5 degrees.

    Inverter air conditioners are more economical in the use of electricity. Due to the digital regulation of the compressor operating frequency, such an air conditioner consumes less energy than a conventional one. However, it is sensitive to voltage surges - when installed in areas of unstable voltage, it should be connected through a voltage stabilizer.

    Another bonus when buying an inverter air conditioner will be low starting currents. Any complex equipment consumes more energy at start-up than during further work. This is a short-term phenomenon, but it significantly loads the network, as a result of which a power surge can occur, which is very dangerous for home appliances - PCs, washing machines and dishwashers, microwave ovens and other household appliances. Inverter air conditioners are characterized by low energy consumption at start-up. Power in such air conditioners increases gradually without overloading the network.

    Another distinctive feature of the inverter is the presence of an external temperature sensor. If the outside temperature differs from the set one by no more than 2 degrees, the compressor stops and the air conditioner goes into standby mode, since the comfort conditions have already been provided. The next time the air conditioner starts up if the temperature rises (or falls) by more than 2 degrees. Thus, in the absence of the need, the air conditioner does not work, and the only energy consumption goes to a pair of sensors - and this is much less than the energy consumption of a conventional light bulb.
