What is inverter technology, and what does Midea offer?

Inverter technology is a modern method of motor control that has completely transformed the way electrical appliances operate, making them far more efficient. To better understand its advantages, let’s first look at how traditional, non-inverter systems work.

Traditional systems operate at only one, fixed speed. No matter the intensity of the task, they always run at full capacity, which leads to excessive energy consumption. In addition, such air conditioners switch off once the desired temperature is reached and then restart at full power when the room gets warm again. This constant on-off cycle is inefficient and results in high energy usage.

In contrast, an inverter air conditioner can operate at variable speeds, starting to reduce power consumption immediately after being turned on. It doesn’t completely turn off once the desired temperature is reached; instead, it continues operating at a minimal level—just enough to maintain the set temperature. Maintaining temperature this way requires far less energy than repeatedly reheating or cooling the room.

In standard inverter systems, this is made possible by a single key component—the compressor, which can adjust its speed and prevent unnecessary power waste.

Advantages of Inverter Systems

Thanks to their variable operation, inverter systems offer several key advantages:

• Energy savings of 30%–50% compared to non-inverter systems, due to the elimination of frequent on-off cycles.

• Lower noise levels, since the compressor runs continuously at a low speed, avoiding the loud switching sounds of traditional systems. The noise level can be as low as 20–24 decibels, equivalent to a human whisper.

• Longer lifespan, as reduced load and smoother operation decrease wear and tear, maintaining efficiency over time.

What Makes Midea’s Inverter Technology Unique — Quattro Inverter

Midea’s air conditioners are equipped with Quattro Inverter Technology, which goes beyond standard inverter systems. In this design, not only the compressor but also the indoor and outdoor fan motors are inverter-driven, with a completely optimized control of the refrigerant flow.

Advantages of Midea’s Quattro Inverter Technology

• Energy efficiency

• Low noise level

• Enhanced comfort through precise temperature control

• Operation in both low and high outdoor temperatures

• Longer service life due to reduced wear and tear, as the system does not need to constantly operate at full capacity
