Inverter Type AC in Pakistan (Inverter/Non Inverter Dedicated Discussion)

[BuzzChuzz]

Gree and Euroaire!

EER: Cooling capacity in kilo watts / power input in kilo watts
Usually at nominal values

Programming error in controller is the last option in my mind anf for that I have contacted Panasonic Pakistan just to say hello to them. They assured me that AC is working fine and that 1 C difference is due to possible error in my own thermometer. They said each AC is quality checked before shipping and its not possible that Chip goes bad on a brand new AC.

It does not trip just functions with good ampere figures too only the temp is +1-1.5 C. Performance​ is very fastin cooling though and energy consumption too. I have ordered a new thermometer which will reach me in 2 days. Lets see.

I dont understand 1 thing about conventional Acs. They also trip when they achieve their desired temperaure, say i keep my ac on 28 and after achieving that temp it'l trip which means that the compressor has altogether been turned off except for the fan riggt ? An invertor Ac on the other hand after achieving the deired temp would not trip but woul kind of go into a low energy consuming mode which means that the comp is running but not consuming much power . Now, how does it make an invertor ac cheaper then a convential 1 ? 1 trips and the other reduces power consumption , isnt it the same thng at the end?

Because lowering the speed does not stop cooling in an inverter rather it adds just as much cooling as is wasted by occupants breath, window and door heat leak-ins from outside. Result is temp remains near to constant with only slight variation. At this stage AC is only conauming 350 to 500 watts depending on Heat leak in or cooling loss. (Room size, thermals etc)

2nd place where inverter compressor saves current is it does not slap the power line on the back of its neck everytime it starts like its counterpart does.

This controllable speed on rotation of compressor that the inverter offers also assures longer compressor life because most of wear n tear occurs each time compressor kicks in...

All this creates a difference of 40% less energy usage. Why? Think again ... Non inverter takes 9 amps everytime it goes on.. Inverter takes 9 amps only for 1st 20 mins.. then all night its between 1.8 to 2.2 amps 80% of the time.

Yes, i second that

my newly installed Orient Ultron 1.5 inverter has the same issue
n i m quite worried about it

whenever i turn on AC it has this foul smell which is very noticeable infact unpleasant.. bt when the ac starts throwing cool air in a min, the smell vanishes...

bt sometimes when it reaches desired temp, it again starts to make a bit smell..

should i make a call for warranty claim ??

Bad odour from AC.

AC evaporator coil seems dirty. I usually clean it myself with a small wet brush and then smell vanishes. I do it once a year and its all good.

Same odour issue was by faced by another family member, and it was solved by cleaning evaporator coil.

Another way to get rid of bad odour is, keep the AC on HIGH FAN mode for around 6-8 hours continuously.

Should we spray air freshener on the filters

[matifkhan]

I'll try calling Gree Helpline and ask them how they justify it.

Gree is most sold Ac and now they cannot cope with the demand and service, on Saturday i contacted them about my car problem but they have not responded till now.

[pwuser147983858371]

I just read of the sticker on the indoor of my daikin AC it says Daikin Europe.

In Conventional air conditioner when desired temperature is achieved compressor shutdowns, no more cool air is produced and room temperature starts increasing fast with heat coming in from glass windows, walls and underneath of doors. The compressor again kicks in and start running with full power to again lower down the temperature. It keeps doing this over and over again and it is highly inefficient cooling process.

In inverter air conditioners, once desired temperature is achieved, compressor slows down and only that much cooling is produced by AC which will maintain the room temperature at desired level. The fresh heat that keeps coming in will be removed with the compressor still running at slower speed. It is a highly efficient cooling process.

no. wash the air filters and spray fresh water on evaporator coils with sprayer to clean them. Do not rub the coils with cloth or anything as it will damage the fins.

car problem? You got gree ac installed in your car?

i intended to write cooling

From this sticker Daikin is no better than Panasonic and that too when compared with their medium level model pkf series that's available in Pakistan. Panasonic's top level series has even less power consumption.

You are missing a few facts while calculating temperature and one basic law.
1. As we all know cooler air is heavier and sits below hot air. Same thing happens in a room, let's say your roof's height is 10 ft. If you stand up on a stool or chair you will certainly feel temperature difference against your face. It's always hotter when you are at 7-8 ft height in your room and that's where your AC is installed and where it's thermostat is sensing temperature while your handy thermometer is at at max 3-5 ft height
2. Even if your handy thermometer is at same height as AC, all AC's have slightly different temperature calibration and sensing. You install a different AC in same room and you will notice that this new AC achieves same cooling at 26 which the other one achieved at 24 or 25. I have experienced that many times.
3. As you mentioned yourself the thermometer you have could have a different calibration.

Just installed.

Starts at 7 amps, down to 3.5 amps in about 15 minutes. Goes down to around 2 amps with thermostat at 28.

[pwuser147983858371]

This is not inverter one its regular r22 one. I also have daikin inverters installed in my place.

Is it the new model and how much u paid for it?
