Fixed-Speed Vs. Inverter
The difference is the way the compressor system operates.
Fixed-speed System
A fixed-speed system takes longer to lower the temperature of a room, as the compressor works at the same speed. This means that the room tends to be over-cooled. Furthermore, a fixed-speed compressor works on an on/off system, resulting in a drastic change in temperature.
This causes the following disadvantages:
- A feeling of discomfort due to the rapid temperature fluctuations of the on/off compressor.
- Energy is wasted every time the system is triggered to switch itself back on.
Inverter System
The inverter system continuously changes the compressor revolution speed. By increasing the compressor speed, a room’s temperature can be instantly lowered. It will automatically slow down once the room is cooled.
The benefits are:
- A more comfortable environment without unnecessary temperature fluctuation.
- High energy savings as the compressor does not have to keep restarting.
