What is a Non-Inverter AC?
A non-inverter AC, also known as a fixed-speed or conventional AC, operates in a simple on/off cycle. Here’s how it works:
- The compressor runs at full speed until the desired temperature is reached.
- Once the room is cool enough, the compressor shuts off completely.
- When the temperature rises again, the compressor turns back on at full power.
Key Characteristics of Non-Inverter ACs:
- Fixed Speed Compressor: The compressor operates at a constant speed, consuming the same amount of energy regardless of cooling demand.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Since the compressor turns on and off frequently, there can be slight temperature variations in the room.
- Energy Efficiency: Less efficient compared to inverter ACs, as the compressor consumes more power during startup.
- Cost: Generally more affordable upfront, making it a budget-friendly option.
