The difference between a regular air conditioner and an inverter air conditioner
Most of the air conditioners sold these days are air conditioners that operate using the DC-Inverter method, while previously they operated using the AC method. The idea behind the difference between them is in the way the compressor works, as in the old systems it worked at a constant capacity of 100%, and when it stops... Work capacity decreases from 100% to 0%. Which means that electricity consumption is constant regardless of temperature or fan speed.
What is inverter air conditioner?
While the DC-Inverter system in which the compressor operates at variable capacities ranging from 0% to 100% depends on the required temperature and fan speed, which means that electricity consumption depends on the required temperature.
According to a study conducted by an international air conditioner manufacturing company comparing the consumption of a regular air conditioner with an inverter air conditioner, it shows the following:
Regular air conditioner:
Average daily consumption = 9.51 kWh
Annual consumption rate = 9.51 * 365 days = 3471 kWh
Inverter air conditioner:
Average daily consumption = 4.83 kWh
Annual consumption rate = 4.83 * 365 days = 1763 kWh
Annual savings rate 49%
