Advantage and disadvantage of fixed speed compressor and inverter type compressor

 

Inverter-type AC

Fixed-speed AC

It works at a variable speed and doesn’t switch off completely at the set temperature.

A compressor runs at full speed all the time.

Inverter-type compressors consume less power.

Fixed-speed compressors consume more power.

A 1.5-ton inverter AC runs between 0.3 and 1.7 tonnes of variable capacity as per the requirements of the room’s heat load.

A 1.5-ton capacity is always used by a fixed-speed compressor.

Inverter-type AC is expensive.

It is less expensive than the inverter type of AC.

Inverter AC maintains room temperature constantly, as it doesn’t get switched off completely.

It operates in switch on/off mode, and the room temperature fluctuates; it is incompatible with inverter-type AC.

The sound level is low.

The sound level is higher because it starts and stops at regular intervals.

Its spare parts are more expensive. AC has a long life.

It reduces the cost of spare parts.But AC has a shorter life than inverter-type AC.
