The SLEMA Journal is published by the Sri Lanka Energy Managers Association (SLEMA). Published twice a year since 1984, the SLEMA Journal carries research papers, articles, reviews and news about the status and new developments in the energy sector of Sri Lanka.
Highlights
Research work described in this paper was intended to compare the energy consumption of a standard air conditioner with an inverter-type air conditioner of the same capacity, operated in similar environmental conditions in a normal office room during working hours
Authors investigate the potential energy savings by deploying an increasing share of inverter air conditioners (ACs) and the influence it can have on the national grid in terms of peak demand and energy savings, and reduction of GHG emissions from electricity generation
According to a study conducted by the Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association [3], the overall world AC sales in 2015 was estimated to reach 92.46 million units
Summary
Research work described in this paper was intended to compare the energy consumption of a standard (non-inverter) air conditioner with an inverter-type air conditioner of the same capacity, operated in similar environmental conditions in a normal office room during working hours. The energy consumption of a regular and an inverter AC of the same capacity was evaluated in a typical office room, under similar operating conditions. Results show that the daily average energy consumption (for an 8-hour operating period) was 13.5 kWh for the standard AC and 8.7 kWh for the inverter type AC.
