Inverter compressor is much better than digital scroll compressor, since it varies the speed of the motor in accordance with the load and thus saves energy when the load is less than maximum capacity. There is a misconception in the market that inverter technology gives you range or step based solution which is completely false, since there are inverter compressors made by companies like Danfoss, which can provide you with particular point based solution. There are harmonic filters which are provided along with the package as a solution to the minimal electromagnetic interference which might occur.
Precision cooling can be achieved by inverter compressors and also fast cooling can be achieved since the speed of the motor gets adjusted in fraction of a second, also the motor used is permanent magnet DC motor which causes further energy efficiency.Rather inverter technology compressors are the new generation compressors which will add new features to the range of air conditioning and refrigeration solutions provided, like: they will make it possible to obtain different temperatures in different rooms of a big house with one outdoor unit, based on the loads in the houses and the set point. They will make it possible to have multi compartment cold storage, where the same cold storage can be used to refrigerate various items likes potato and meat together etc.
Thus inverter compressors are innovation with the sustainability factor inbuilt as per the energy efficiency feature.
It depends on the draw of the compressor.
In theory, the inverter air con is more efficient in energy saving and temperature control. It's compressor motor is driven by direct current ( thereby a current inverter is installed in this air con) and its speed is variable. The compressor regulates the temperature by speeding up or slowing down the rpm of the compressor, just like a car engine in the highway. When the desired room temperature is reached, the compressor motor will run at a constant medium speed, just like a car on cruise control. The normal air con regulates temperature by turning the compressor on and off. This start up process consumes 3times more electricity and the room temperature will also go warm to cool by about + or - 4 degrees during these process.

At least 25 Kw and I don't think its practical to build such a large inverter I'd rather fit a autostart diesel or petrol engine to the compressor
You do not need to use an external variable frequency drive for the said AC. You have mentioned that it is inverter AC. It means the AC is already fitted with a built in inverter. Even if you connect an inverter to the AC, you need another control device to control the VFD to control the speed of the fan/ compressor depending upon the room condition, external temperature, temperature setting etc. It is little complicated.
Sure, check the solar power sites for info. You can run most ac appliances by solar, wind, hydro etc. via an inverter if you have a system sufficient to keep up with the load requirements.

No.
In digital scroll compressors, the motor runs continuously at full speed, and the capacity of the compressor is adjusted by a digitally controlled mechanical unloader (slide bar) which adjusts the vertical positioning of the orbital scroll with respect to the fixed scroll thereby reducing its capacity. In inverter scroll compressors, the relative positions of the scrolls does not change, but the speed of the motor is adjusted by a variable speed drive, which adjusts the capacity. The inverter scroll compressor is more energy efficient at part load conditions than a comparable digital scroll compressor. The digital scroll compressor will more closely match a specified load, but is not as energy efficient as a comparable inverter driven compressor. Both types of compressors have associated built-in mechanisms to maintain compressor lubrication at low flow.
Air ride compressor, air suspension compressor, and air pump are the names used for the same device. They are used to pump up the air suspension.
The exact same thing it does in the cooling mode, the change between modes of operation does not take place in the compressor.
An inverter simply takes a DC voltage, usually from a battery, and converts it to AC for use by standard appliances. A UPS does the same thing, but has added circuitry to charge the battery when AC utility power is available, and to automatically switch the inverter on when utility power fails.
It is possible in theory. Your car battery produces 12v DC. Your compressor requires 110v AC. You can use an inverter to convert your 12v DC into 110v AC. But the real question is how long will your battery last? Does the battery even have sufficient stored energy to start up the compressor in the 1st place? A draw of 8 amps at 110v is a lot...
No
Variable inlet guide vanes (VIGV) are typically used in satellite compressors to allow for capacity variation. These vanes can control the airflow entering the compressor, thus adjusting the compressor's capacity.
You should have your system serviced. It sounds like your compressor is bad. Mine was doing the same thing and I found out it was a burnt up compressor.
No. A switch can turn the electricity on/off, but an inverter can provide electricity(for a limited amount of time) if their is a power failure.
Most will accommodate a 15 x 15 x 21 " unit. If no inverter, of course 12 volt. If u have an APU with a good sized inverter, u can get a compressor type unit instead of the thermoelectric variety
