White paper for Variable Frequency Controlled

Air Conditioning

Last Minute Solution™ (LMS)

25th February 2014


Summary
The objective of the project is to provide a variable speed drive for controlling the speed of the
air conditioner compressor. By varying the frequency and voltage simultaneously, the speed of the
compressor of the air conditioner and hence the cooling capability of the system can be controlled. The
variable cooling capacity results in better temperature controlling and an improved operation of the
compressor. Since the compressor will be running almost all of the time, it will reduce the start-up oil
circulation problems which effect compressor reliability. Additionally, the constant running of the electric
motor reduces the motor start-ups resulting in an increased motor energy efficiency.

The problem
The starting and stopping of the air conditioner compressor not only results in shorter lifetime
for the compressor but also in an inefficient use of electric energy by the motor.

The History
Least attention has been paid to this problem for many years. But now, Haier is introducing new
Air Conditioners with same technology (DC invertor) and some changes in the compressor but those Air
Conditioners are very expensive.

The Solution
In traditional Air Conditioners, when the required temperature is achieved, the thermostat trips
the compressor resulting in inefficient consumption of power. The proposed solution for this problem is
to configure VFD with presently installed Air Conditioner. It will stop the thermostatic switching of the
Air Conditioner and will provide better temperature controlling. In this solution, when the required
temperature will be achieved, the compressor will shift to lower frequency and when the temperature
will rise again, the compressor will be shifted to higher frequency resulting in a lot power saving.

The Benefits
 Saving Electrical Power up to 40% (theoretically) depending on the condition of Air
Conditioner.
 Increases the Compressor’s life
 Better temperature controlling
 Efficient use of Energy
 No need to buy new efficient cooling units. Our product works with the already installed
cooling units
 Reduces the noise of compressor
