Is the Car Air Conditioner Inverter-Based?
1 Answers
Car air conditioners are not inverter-based, as detailed below: 1. Car air conditioners are fixed-frequency: Both manual and automatic car air conditioners operate on a fixed-frequency basis. Although car air conditioners may have variable displacement compressors, they cannot be referred to as inverter-based. 2. Car air conditioners do not meet the criteria for being inverter-based: While the car air conditioner compressor is driven by the engine, and the engine itself has variable speeds, after various processing stages, the output of the car compressor remains constant and does not vary with changes in engine speed. Therefore, since the engine's speed has no effect on the compressor's output, the car air conditioner's compressor does not have the prerequisite for being 'inverter-based.'
