The compressor is specifically designed to run at different motor speeds to modulate cooling output. Variable speed operation requires an appropriate compressor for full speed operation and a special compressor lubrication system. Proper oil management is a critical requirement to ensure compressor lifetime. Proper oil management provides proper lubrication for <a href="/wiki/Scroll_compressor" title="Scroll compressor">scroll</a> set at low speed and prevents excess oil from being injected into the circuit when operating at full speed. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications">Applications</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Inverter_compressor&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Applications"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Variable speed technology can be implemented in <a href="/wiki/HVAC" class="mw-redirect" title="HVAC">HVAC</a>, close control and process cooling applications and as diverse as packaged or split <a href="/wiki/Air-conditioning_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Air-conditioning system">air-conditioning units</a>, rooftops, <a href="/wiki/Chillers" class="mw-redirect" title="Chillers">chillers</a>, precision cooling, <a href="/wiki/Variable_refrigerant_flow" title="Variable refrigerant flow">VRF</a> and condensing units. </p> <dl><dt>Rooftop</dt> <dd>This is a very common unit type. The rising cost of energy means that air conditioning manufacturers must develop a new generation of high-efficiency, cost-effective air conditioners for commercial buildings that meet or exceed a part-load efficiency standard of typically 18 IEER. The aim is to reduce energy use by 30% over current equipment. Inverter technology helps OEMs to build units which meet this demand.</dd> <dt><a href="/wiki/Air_handling_unit" class="mw-redirect" title="Air handling unit">Air handling units</a></dt> <dd>These have integrated cooling and are used in commercial applications for air conditioning and humidity control in diverse ranges of buildings such as small office buildings, fitness and medical centres. Inverter compressor solutions enable smooth modulation and huge energy savings.</dd> <dt>Modular chillers</dt> <dd>A typical modular chiller installation uses multiple fixed-speed. These units share the same water system to supply the building with cooled or heated water. Hybrid tandem, associating one inverter and one fixed-speed compressor, can better match the capacity requirement compared to a modular chiller with fixed-speed tandem compressors and increases efficiency.</dd> <dt><a href="/wiki/Solar-powered_air_conditioning" class="mw-redirect" title="Solar-powered air conditioning">Solar-powered air conditioning</a></dt> <dd>Inverter compressors make solar-powered air conditioning viable. Before, fixed-speed on/off compressors required an inrush, or surge, current that was 4 to 6 times greater than the running current at startup, meaning a requirement of 4 to 6 times more solar panels or batteries. Inverter compressors start slowly and avoid this startup power which is needed each time a standard on/off compressor comes on.</dd> <dt>Close control units</dt> <dd>These are used in the cooling of IT and electronic equipment used in data centres, telecommunications and in manufacturing industries. Power management, energy consumption and heat loads are major challenges. Maintenance of a stable temperature and humidity control, compactness of the system and overall efficiency are key design challenges in these applications for ensuring data safety and availability. This is where inverter technology makes the difference.</dd> <dt>Process cooling</dt> <dd>In many industries the machinery and processes generate a large amount of heat which requires cooling, to protect the equipment and / or to ensure that the product being manufactured is of the required quality. Inverter technology helps to secure the process while providing greater efficiency.</dd> <dt><a href="/wiki/Variable_refrigerant_flow" title="Variable refrigerant flow">Variable refrigerant flow</a> (VRF)</dt> <dd>VRF units are very popular cooling or reversible systems (heating and cooling). They combine the flexibility for building owners and occupants alike, with <a href="/wiki/Efficient_energy_use" title="Efficient energy use">energy efficiency</a>, high comfort, and ease of installation, without compromising on reliability.

The drive modulates the compressor speed and prevents it from operating out of the compressor operating limits. The inverter frequency drives need to use algorithms developed specifically for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) or for refrigeration. They ensure that the system will run within the application constraints. The drive can also manage other devices such as oil injection valves or multiple compressors. As the compressor rotational speed changes, the amount of refrigerant — and oil — flowing through the compressor increases or decreases. The drive ensures that the compressor and bearings are optimally lubricated at all compressor speeds. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Inverter_compressor&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Variable_refrigerant_flow" title="Variable refrigerant flow">Variable refrigerant flow</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Inverter_compressor&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.ieee-jp.org/japancouncil/jchc/adm/milestone/39Inverter_Air_Conditioners.pdf">http://www.ieee-jp.org/japancouncil/jchc/adm/milestone/39Inverter_Air_Conditioners.pdf</a> <sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bare_URLs" title="Wikipedia:Bare URLs"><span title="A full citation of this PDF document is required to prevent link rot.
