Turn off econavi, dry. I can't remember which my bro turn off but it really make a huge difference.

My new 1HP non inverter also got Eco-navi, when set it on, the room are warmer. But set back to my desired setting since my ceiling fan always on with blower on auto which cuts out when reached the set temperature, it is cooler.

Only non-inverter air conditioner give powerful airflow.

Inverter model have board that try to maintain the outdoor unit fan running.

Your air conditioner auto off?

Fan set to auto it will cut out totally for non inverter.
And teaming up with fan, the cut in back duration will be longer, which means if you know how to use, it is more energy saving than an inverter thumbsup.gif

that mean the inverter unit use less power than non inverter unit when compressor running at full capacity.....

Nope, for the same HP air conds, inverter will consume more power than non inverter during it runs on full power.
That's why you can see inverter air cond having higher BTU.
When buying air cond, don't see on the minimum power consumption, have to see the maximum consumption.
There's many factors that can affect power consumption of an air cond, like your house's hardware, sun direction and others.
Those numbers are just a general reference, the test are done in a controlled manner which you can't simulate it again, so if an inverter air cond says it only consume 1700W of power a year, actual it is > 2000W.

If still confuse, check out Panasonic's website and see their detail spec. Then you will understand.
A ceiling fan only consume <100W while inverter air cond running on lowest output still 2**W, that's with all the power saving features turned on which you may not like it sometimes. By turning off some of such features, it won't consume minimum as it stated.
Inverter only shine when it running on ramp down state, else it will consume more power.

Yes, you are right, for living, dining hall or to make it easier to understand, usage for < 6 hours is better use non inverter.

Nope, in terms of reliability, inverter are poorer due to circuit board fails.
As said already, inverter only do wonders when it is running on ramp down or reduced output mode, as long as you don't reach this state, it will be worst than non inverter.
For typical setting, comfort level will be 24-26°C, then you have to see your initial room temperature, if 30°C and high humidity of > 70%, it will take longer time as the air cond needs to remove moisture in your room and at the same time bring down temperature.
So the question will be, how long it needs to bring down the 4°C. This won't have absolute answer. So room needs 3 hours, some needs 5 hours.

it's more the start/stop nature of the air con motor that differentiate an inverter unit cost savings to non-inverter..

An inverter only functions for starting a electrical motor with lower amps, lower torque and lower losses.. once on full load it has no relevance.. its out of the picture..

but for an aircon unit controlled via thermocouple (temperature sensor) an analogue device, that's where your inverter units gets back saving money matching power input to the load..

a conventional motor will stop/start .. there's no inbetween.. wasting heat during starts every single time..
*
1st time in my life heard of air cond motor, another troller that know 0 basic but try to troll and baseless personal attacks doh.gif
Also, if running on low load and full load has no relevance, then why the power consumption they are putting a range for it? Again, by your statement, it still proves you know nuts on how an air cond works.
And just to slap your self with your limited knowledge, for the same HP air cond, inverter are drawing 3.6A while non inverter drawing 3.7A, but I do understand what you are trying to say 0.1A are still lower doh.gif
And I do like to know what does wasting heat means? Did you actually did temperature measurement and compare? But looking at the way you reply, you never but jus simply spit out doh.gif

No such thing of only use more than 8 hours, then only inverter will save power.
Inverter will save power whenever condition permitted for its to run at partial load.

Just inverter cost is more expensive, hence if it is being used little only, then saving of electricity won't be exceeding the extra cost paying to the inverter, hence the myth of 8 hours being created.

Eg. you use 2 hours per day, potential average saving from inverter (which varied depended how it is used) let say
30%.

For 1 HP non-inverter - 0.75KW, 2 hours use 1.5KWH, so 30 days 45 KWH, if tariff is RM0.50/KWH then it consumes RM22.50 per month.

If change to inverter, you save 30%, aka around RM7, whole year, you save RM84, but inverter may cost more than RM300 as compared to non-inverter, hence there are people said, if use inverter for short hour, it doesn't save.

The risk of reliability part of inverter is on the inverter board (that convert AC to DC and control mechanism), which if spoilt can be quite costly.
*
I don't know how you come out with 30% of savings when using inverter, care to explain in detail?

Inverter is still better than non-inverter in term of efficiency (full /part load) and comfort. The drawback of inverter is the repair cost and the first cost. If you need to choose between 1hp inverter and non-inverter, my suggestion is always go for inverter, since price difference between both is not much. (around RM200)
The energy saving for inverter at full load is still better than non-inverter but the difference is unable to justify for the higher first cost. Means, if you know your AC is going to under size and you expect it run for full load most of the time, also you are not going to use it so often, then go for non-inverter. Especially the price of 2hp inverter is going to be much more expensive (around RM650-700) due to lower demand.
Of course, you can go for inverter to save our earth from global warming or get ready for higher TNB tariff.

There are no way to size one AC to be perfectly accurate in real life, if you under size your AC, then it will always run at full load and unable to cool down the room to your desirable temperature. If you over size your AC then non-inverter AC will keep on start and stop which consume more electricity. Inverter AC will help if you over size the AC, it will tune down it cooling capacity to suit different situation.
*
Any proof to support your baseless statement that when inverter running on full load save more power compare to non inverter?
You may choose different brand to justify your baseless flaws if you want. But when I checked on Panasonic website, it states clearly your flaw is a flaw thumbsup.gif

I don't know how the newer inverter being designed nowadays, but inverter means AC to DC conversion.

Hence the inverter compressor is a DC motor , even with the full load, the inverter still need to function by converting the incoming supply of AC to DC, so that the motor can run.

We can't by pass the inverter (aka leave the inverter out of picture), and take in incoming AC current to run the motor.

Still waiting for your explanation on the 30%.

Inappropriate explanation.  smile.gif

Non-inverter
Aircond start up, run 100%, blowing cold air non-stop until reach the pre-set temperature, then compressor off, until the temperature rise up again. Aka non-inverter work on the basis on and off the compressor which supply the coldness.

Inverter
Aircond start up, run 100%, temperature start to lower down, then it slow down the compressor motor as the "coldness" needed is reduced, the slowing down of motor through the inverter is the key saving feature.

On start up,
both will blow cold air at 100%, little difference between them (set aside the EER, higher BTU of inverter due to higher pressure use)

No such thing of "non-inverter waste electricity during start up", (if we set aside the BTU issue).

Care to elaborate on your 30%? Still waiting for your answer.
Or it is just your assumption?

Well, he is just another baseless TCC only, that's why he don't dare to explain in detail. As by logic, cooling a room's temperature down 1°C needs at least 1 hour, still have to consider that's room's hardware setup which I'm pretty your room won't be same as mine.
Like before I install a door to make my room smaller, it takes 4 hours to cool my room. But after install that door, it takes 3 hours.

I have yet to get the test specs done by the Energy Commission. Overall I saw non-inverter vs inverter the power saving varies between 30-65%. I have seen several brands for 5* inverter rated 13xx 14xx kwh/year as compared to non-inverter 2-3* 23xx-25xx kwh/year for the 1.0 hp model. To achieve this savings I bet the temp must be set at normal comfortable temp not like super crazy cold 16C
*
Well, I also having hard time to find how the test being done. But by taking the numbers on the label, back calculating is ~4 units used a day. The question is, are we really getting 4 units only by following our setting?
Most of the time the test temperature would be 23-26°C.
Just check out on Panasonic's website, they only publish outdoor temperature and not the room temperature. I feel this is quite misleading.

Nothing wrong about using the word motor. AC compressor is actually driven by a motor and the motor is the one the consume energy.
Heat wasting... we all learn during high school physic that
"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. For instance, chemical energy can be converted to kinetic energy in the explosion of a stick of dynamite. A consequence of the law of conservation of energy is that a perpetual motion machine of the first kind cannot exist." - Conservation of energy.

There are inrush current during every startup non-inverter compressor, the inrush current was not transmit into "cooling" of the AC system but wasted as heat. In fact during energy transformation, most energy wasted as heat.

By the way, your knowledge on AC system also very limited.

Well, you are a troll supporting another troll, so by using wrong term is still ok, I know that.
Even installer will not say air cond motor, but either compressor motor for outdoor unit or fan motor for indoor unit.

Read carefully before you quote what I said. I never mentioned that at full load it save more power. What I mentioned is at full load inverter is more efficient (means save more money). Means, it use more power but also gives you more cooling capacity.
Can't believe I'm doing this with you the 3rd times.
Panasonic spec mentioned that the non-inverter full load EER is lower than inverter. (NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW CAN YOU HAVE SO MANY POST IN THIS FORUM)

Next time you you want to quote something from the internet please screen capture and post it up (which you usually won't do that, because that will expose your lies)

You also always never explain in detail. What you usually do is just quote an internet link and ask people to read and understand, but the link either proof you wrong or it end up nothing.

Like you mentioned by logic, cooling a room's temperature down 1degC needs at least 1 hour, do you have proof? Cooling a room down from 30degC to 29degC is much easier than from 20degC to 19degC. You never mentioned the 1hr is based on what room temp.

Above is capture from MHI technical manual. Actually all Japanese brand AC are tested according to JIS-C 9612.
Which should include indoor conditions and outdoor conditions.

Well, Panasonic website are very big, but comparing 2 air conds need 6 clicks only. But you again choose not to, instead, try to troll again.
According to JIS-C-9612 standard or like another joker's ambient room's temperature don't dare to mention, set 28°C and keep on boasting how superior his inverter are. Does it means anything? It does not. Is your room built according to JIS-C-9612 standard? But I know you will say yes, but how many people in this world will built according to those test standard? If you are playing the diplomatic game, do get another troll to support you, since 2-1, 2 wins. That's the beauty of forums, more people can twist a fact thumbsup.gif

A living room or bedroom?
If living room you need spot cooling and not cooling the whole room.

Actually I think that you guys should stop attacking each other on the calculation and work towards the better of the community.

I think that most manufacturers figures are tests done in controlled environment with preset temperature which may be different from what you are using, and most probably something that you find hard to achieve in real world situation. There are so many things that become variables when it comes to real world application.

Basically an inverter saves energy in the long run compared to non inverter when you run them as per manufacturer's recommendation. How much saving probably is the biggest variable since they are a number of aspects that may influence the actual savings achieved.

The Samsung air cond that I installed last week had temperature and usage meter. At first, I kept monitoring it to see if it really save a lot of energy. Honestly it really didnt change much between 26C to 27C and 28C. There are differences, no doubt, but not really that much to cause you concern. Therefore, just enjoy the air cond and worry less about the energy consumption.
*
Basically you need to set everything according to their test conditions to get the said numbers, like Panasonic, Eco-navi must be on, room size and decoration must be same as test condition to get 65% sweat.gif
