5 tips for using inverter air conditioner to save electricity
(Baonghean.vn) - Among the outstanding features of inverter technology, the most typical is the power saving feature of 20 - 30% compared to non-inverter; however, the power saving efficiency of this technology depends on how it is used. Below are the secrets to using inverter air conditioners to save maximum power.
1. Choose the machine capacity corresponding to the room space
 |
Like conventional air conditioners, inverter air conditioners maximize energy savings when operating at the correct capacity and not overloaded. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the air conditioner capacity according to each specific space.
For example, room area under 15m2You should buy an inverter air conditioner with a capacity of 9,000 - 10,000 BTU; room area 15 - 25m2Use a machine with a capacity of 12,000 - 13,000 BTU; room area over 25m22Use a machine with a capacity of 18,000 BTU or more;
In addition, you should also consider the heat-generating equipment and the effects of solar heat to choose an inverter air conditioner with a capacity slightly higher than the demand, both increasing the durability of the machine and avoiding wasting electricity.
2. Meet the manufacturer's voltage standards
 |
Inverter air conditioners are controlled mostly by electronic microchips, so the machine is very "picky" about the voltage used. The initial condition when installing the machine is to meet the correct voltage standard set by the manufacturer - 5%.
Therefore, when installing an Inverter air conditioner, it is necessary to determine that the power supply voltage is stable. If the voltage is unstable, a voltage stabilizer can be used to maintain the durability of the device and save electricity.
3. Do not turn off the machine immediately when the room temperature reaches the required level.
 |
Inverter air conditioners have an automatic power saving feature when the compressor maintains low and stable operation when the required cooling level is reached. If you turn off the machine when the room is cold enough and then turn it back on, it will consume more electricity.
Therefore, if you want the inverter air conditioner to save electricity, do not turn it off when the room temperature reaches the required level; you should maintain the operation of the machine to maintain the temperature and promote the inverter's energy saving feature.
4. Ensure the requirementsinstallation location

Choosing the right location to install the air conditioner will help save energy.The condenser should be installed in a well-ventilated area, avoiding sunlight from shining into the condenser, increasing the temperature of the device. In windy areas, the best installation direction is to have the cooling fan blow perpendicular to the wind direction. This will increase the heat dissipation capacity of the device. Note, do not install the condenser in places with heat sources, exhaust fumes or chemicals that cause dirt, corrosion...
The height difference and distance between the cold and hot coils need to be arranged reasonably and as short as possible to save both material costs and power consumption.
For inverter air conditioners, the length of the gas pipe should not exceed 5m and the height difference should not exceed 3m. Exceeding the above standards will significantly reduce the cooling capacity of the system.
5. Clean and wipe the air conditioner regularly
 |
Inverter air conditioners covered with dust will hinder heat dissipation, reduce cooling capacity and consume more electricity. This also affects the air cleaning function, causing harm to your family's health. Therefore, you should pay attention to cleaning and wiping the air conditioner regularly.
