What is an Inverter?
An inverter air conditioner is both a converter of
AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) and
an inverter changing DC to simulated frequency
adaptable AC.
The active filter and bridge rectifier rectifies AC
by flattening output to create DC power supply.
The IPM (Inverter Power Module) uses electrical
components such as transistors and diodes to
switch and chop created DC to make simulated
AC at required frequency and voltage.
Inverter Mini-Split Benefits
Compared to the common on/off controlled
compressor, the inverter controlled compressor
runs at the proper revolution to provide the best
efficiency and reduce losses. When the maximum
capacity is not required, the compressor revolution
is decreased. This means the input power
decreases too, which results in increased system
efficiency. Variable speed inverter driven compres-
sors provide a range of capacity and are listed with
minimal, nominal (rated) and maximum capacities.

tion exactly like an air conditioner in the summer absorbing
heat from your home or business and moving it outdoors.
The cost to cool a space with a heat pump is the same as
with an air conditioner with the same efficiency rating. In
the winter a heat pump is basically an air conditioner with a
valve that allows it to operate in reverse, absorbing heat
from the outside air and moving it indoors.
In some climates a heat pump may handle your heating
and cooling needs more efficiently then a furnace or air
conditioner. This system usually requires some other
source of heat to satisfy heating requirements in colder
environments. Because 75% of our line is inverter heat
pumps they offer wider operating range and up tp 30%
more heat capacity than a standard heat pump.

Time to reach set temperature is cut in half. Inverter systems
provide a more stable room temperature.
Heat pumps are more efficient than some other forms of heating because
heat pumps do not actually create heat - they just move it from one place
to another. For example, the output of an efficient 10 EER heat pump is
triple that of an electric heater.
*EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) = Rated BTU capacity divided by total kW
input.
An electric heater converts electricity directly to heat, and if we assume
that the heat loss is zero, the output from one kilowatt input is one kilo-
watt or 3,400 BTU and the EER is 3.4.
