Inverter Air Conditioner Pros and Cons

The new technology of air conditioner is a inverter wich claim it's can save electric consumtion. But some people are still confused by the term Non-Inverter and inverter air conditioner. What's different about both of them? and what are the advantages of Inverter air conditioner?

 Differences between Inverter AC with Non-Inverter AC.
 
 1. Inverter AC's
 
 The inverter is a device that is contrary to the adapter. Adapter, for the uninitiated is useful to convert AC current (alternating) into DC current (unidirectional).
 
 A simple example is a mobile phone charger adapter, laptop charger, etc.. Instead, inverters convert Direct-Current to Alternating-current. In the electrical field, the inverter is a power oscillator circuit applications.
 
 Well in the other word, the air conditioner is one of household appliances that consume a lot of electricity. So if you decide to install the air conditioner (AC) at home, you will naturally choose the most efficient AC and this is where the role of the inverter technology utilized.
 
 Examples of how AC inverter works:
 
 If during a hot day you choose a temperature of 25 ° C without inverter, the air conditioner automatically turns itself off when the room temperature is below 25 ° C, and will live again when the temperature rises above 25 ° C. 
 
 This process will be repeated and will cause a lot of electrical energy (money?) Are wasted. Besides the presence of interference by the sound of the air AC life and death process over and over again can't be avoided.
 
 In AC inverter, it is possible to keep the room at a certain temperature without air conditioners should live and die over and over again.
 
 Advantages of Inverter-AC
 <ul><li>Faster time to reach room temperature we want.</li>
 <li>"Pull" the first electric are lower than non-inverter technology.</li>
 </li>Save energy and money because this technology uses resources 30% smaller than regular AC.</li>
 <li>Some brands even claim the air conditioner can save electricity up to 60% compared to non-inverter air conditioner.</li>
 <li>Can avoid excessive load when the AC is run.</li>
 <li>Fluctuations in temperature almost did not happen</li> </ul>
 
 Disadvantages of inverter-AC
 <ul><li>The price is more expensive than regular model.</li>
 <li>Wattage consumption depends on the condition of the room</li>
 <li>Must use a thicker pipe</li>
 <li>cooling process longer than conventional AC</li></ul>
 
 2. Non-Inverter AC's
 
 In Non-Inverter or conventional air conditioning, the compressor are directly operated at full capacity during the switch-on. Once the required temperature it reach, it's will die automatically. And it turned on again when the temperature rises.
 
 As a result, there is a cycle that generates on-off peak voltage and wide temperature fluctuations since the compressor turns on and off repeatedly. In addition, this system contributes to heavy load. Thus this conventional type will automatically take up a lot of electricity.
 
 Conclution
 As the result of using inverter technology, inverter-AC is best option for saving energy. Even the inverter-AC's is more expensive than the conventional type, it can saving your money in long time because the electricity bills more low.

Type of Air Conditioner

The air conditioner has different type, choosing the best type are depending several factors including how large area that you need to be cooled, total heat generated inside that area, and the other factor.
 
 In general, AC's is is separated into five types, and each type is designed for specific purphose.
 
 Window Air Conditioner
 
 <img alt="windows air conditioners" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15RDPerUwu_UMY9RmkEwiJLSCMSmSxu1roLc3RTZQ2N90h445xLAEsYxq_vIVT9ciSbFetEDdwYF5VoCCFKg4Od8Vha1exbM1tVKTV7XdJqzawTLnFKqTCadJUf2gcJRMtfcNTUP-ves/s150/Windows-air-conditioner.jpg" title="windows ac"/>
 
 A Window air conditioner is designed for cool down single room. With single box contain of all parts of the components.
 
 The main component is compressor, expansion valve or coil, condenser, cooling coil and evaporator. This unit is fitted to the wall, or commonly in a window sill of the room.
 
 Split Air Conditioner
 
 <img alt="split air conditioners" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuhwsFx3ExepN9jDzjrWn1kXCBBgKwKz4qyFucY1ivT0aH_Os_-WkMa7JBWRW7nq7c1xRzniBkdsuRV32CLvqNw9QTfP7MxKTSbExtXGmM4g0bQ3HPNzCUTk5H4WgnmRWcVlgxNCNt5pg/s150/split-air-conditioner.jpg" title="split ac"/>
 
 Split unit is contained two important parts, outdoor unit and the indoor unit. The outdoor having components like the compressor, expansion valve, and condenser and it's placed ouside of the room. 
 
 The indoor unit with cooling coil evaporator or and the cooling 
 fan component are placed inside the room. This unit don'’t need any slot in the wall, it need more little space than Windows-AC.
 And then now split air conditioners can be used to cool one or two rooms, it's making this type effective cooler for your home.
 
 Central Air Conditioning
 
 System Central air conditioners are designed for cooling large buildings, houses, offices and other big space room. A central air conditioning system is uses one huge compressor with many individual units to place in desire room.
 Each of this individual unit is controllable, so you can set different cooler level of in each room.
 
 Packaged Air Conditioners
 
 The Packaged unit type of air conditioner are use to cool more than two rooms or for larger space at your entire home or office building. 
 There are two different arrangements for packaged units. First all the components are housed in a single box. The cooled air is blow by the high capacity blower, and the air flows through the ducts laid in various rooms.
 Second arrangement, the condenser and compressor are housed into one box, and then compressed gas blow through individual units that placed in various room.
 
 Portable Air Conditioners

 The Portable air conditioner are new types of AC's, it contained portable appliance to cool the air in a single room or small space.
 Different with traditional window AC's that fitted in the window sill or wall, portable AC's it places on the floor in the room you want to cooled down.

 Deciding which is the best one for your needs is so difficult. But if you are considering several factors on how to choose the right air conditioner below, you will help to take decisions.
 
 Selecting type
 
 There are five general types of Air conditioner, The windows-units, portable units, Central-units, Package units, split-units and portable-units.
 
 Each type has different effectiveness and efficiency, windows-AC and portable-AC is perfect for single room, it's inexpensive and efficient for cold down one room.
 
 The packaged unit and the Central-AC units best for multi room usage and whole resident and commercial place with large size of coverage.
 
 The spit-AC is the most popular model, it's have two individual units, one main unit in the room and one for the outside, with ability to cool down more than one room, very effective and affordable for home owner.

 Choosing Power (BTU’)
 
 The most important when choosing an air conditioner is deciding how many BTU’ you need. BTU’'s or British Thermal Units , that number counting measurement of cooling capacity. More big BTU' number, the more space that can cool down.
 
 For large room it requires more 
 BTU'’s than a smaller room. However, you shouldn't take oversized air conditioner, is less 
 effective and wasting your money. But choosing too small unit will never make the room cool.
 
 Room Size 
 
 In order to take the right decision, it is important to calculate your room size. The BTU capacity is related to the size of the area that needs to be cooled. More big the room it needs more big BTU power. See this image of BTU calculation.

 Energy efficiency
 
 Air conditioner's energy eficiency is counted in EER or Energy Efficiency Rating. ranges from 8 to 11.5. The air conditioners with higher EER, more efficien in savings electric. Higher the EER also can reduce electric bill, but more high EER's rating in AC's, mean more expensive price.
 
 Other feature
 
 Another point of choosing air conditioner is its features, such as auto cooling, remote control and auto shut off. This additional feature can make you easy to set the AC,s. But each brand and model have their own innovatif feature.
