In the sweltering summer months, air conditioner brands are all vying to promote their products, with the slogan "one night and one power" sparking a lot of excitement among consumers. But is it really true that modern air conditioners can operate on just one unit of power per night? Experts from the Shanghai Electromechanical Center at the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau have a positive view on this. As control and manufacturing technologies continue to evolve, air conditioners have gradually transitioned from fixed-frequency models to DC inverter units that allow for adjustable compressor speeds. During energy efficiency tests, inverter air conditioners consistently show better energy-saving performance compared to traditional fixed-frequency models.
**Smooth Start and Low Noise**
Inverter air conditioners use a lower power frequency for a soft start, resulting in smaller starting current and torque, reduced vibration and noise, and less impact on the power grid and other household appliances. In contrast, fixed-frequency air conditioners start at rated voltage and frequency, which leads to a higher starting current and greater disturbance to the electrical system. Additionally, inverter units use DC motor fans that provide steady airflow and significantly reduce operational noise.
**Minimal Temperature Fluctuations**
Once started, an inverter air conditioner runs the compressor at a higher frequency range, allowing it to rotate faster than fixed-frequency models. This enables the unit to cool (or heat) a room more quickly, achieving rapid temperature adjustment. Fixed-frequency units, however, rely on an "on/off" cycle to regulate temperature, leading to larger fluctuations and reduced comfort. Inverter models maintain a more stable temperature by running the compressor continuously at a lower speed, offering a more consistent and comfortable environment.
**Energy Efficient and High Performance**
The cooling or heating efficiency of fixed-frequency air conditioners remains constant under certain conditions. Inverter units, on the other hand, adjust their efficiency based on the compressor's speed, with higher efficiency achieved at lower speeds. This means that when the desired temperature is reached, the compressor operates more efficiently, saving energy. Moreover, fixed-frequency units consume more electricity to establish pressure differences between suction and discharge sides, while inverter units avoid this by maintaining continuous operation without needing to reset the pressure.
Additionally, inverter compressors use rare earth permanent magnets, eliminating unnecessary power consumption and reducing overall energy input. Today, inverter air conditioners are labeled with energy efficiency ratings from 1 to 5, with Level 1 being the most energy-efficient and Level 5 the least. The higher the level, the less energy-saving the unit becomes.
**Effective Heating in Low Temperatures**
Fixed-frequency air conditioners struggle with heating performance when outdoor temperatures drop below -5°C. Inverter units, however, increase the compressor’s speed to boost its circulation capacity, allowing it to absorb more heat from the outside, even in cold conditions. This makes them highly effective for heating in low-temperature environments.
Although inverter air conditioners come with a higher price tag—typically ranging from 800 to 1,000 yuan more than standard models—they offer significant long-term savings through energy efficiency. The initial investment can be offset within the product’s lifespan. With their superior performance and technological advantages, inverter air conditioners are gradually replacing fixed-frequency models, setting the direction for the future of the household air conditioning industry.
