Course Contents Fundamentals of Inverter Air-Conditioner System OYL Inverter Product Range Service / Troubleshooting
Fundamentals of Inverter A/C System Power supply (input) frequency is either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Inverters change the frequency (15 – 100 Hz) to the compressor according to load requirements. Inverter Compressor operates at different speeds.
Fundamentals of Inverter AC = +/- voltage changes DC = no voltage changes U (V) U (V) t(s) t(s) Vavg = 0 Vavg 0
Fundamentals of Inverter U (V) U (V) f = 70 Hz t(s) t(s) f = 50 Hz Compressor Speed can be varied by changing the Compressor Input Frequency
Fundamentals of Inverter IN: 240 VAC f = 50 Hz Power supply 220~240/1Ph/50Hz Rectifier (AC-DC) Inverter (DC-AC) Brushless Motor O/D temp sensor OUT: variable f = variable MCU System control PWM waveform Current sensor

Advantages of Inverter System Room Temperature comfort Fast cooling / heating Less compressor ON / OFF cycle Low starting current (Soft start) Improvement in Low Temperature characteristic during Heating mode. Low energy consumption
Room Temperature Comfort Precise Room Temperature control Less temperature fluctuation 0.5 deg Celsius from Set Temperature
Fast Cooling / Heating Quick ramp-up of compressor speed. Enables A/C to reach set temperature faster.
Less ON / OFF cycle Once Set Temperature is reached, Inverter compressor still runs BUT at lower frequency. Conventional compressor will STOP. Therefore, ON/OFF strain for inverter compressor is less, making it lasts longer. Compressor capacity Full capacity Conventional compressor ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF Time
Low Starting Current Inverter compressor start-up at lower frequency, then quickly ramps up. Starting current is lower. Running current Hours of operation Conventional air conditioner: High starting current Frequent on/off cycle Inverter air conditioner: Low starting current Smooth operation
Improvement in Low Temperature Characteristics i) During low ambient temperature the inverter unit will run at max frequency which the capacity will improve compare with normal fix compressor unit ii) During defrost, the inverter unit will run at max frequency thus the defrost time will be less.
