Singapore Air Conditioner: Inverter or Non Inverter
装冷气需
Summary，有开多架air-con的家庭，Inverter比较便宜过Non-Inverter。
例如:
1) 如果家里只开一架Air-con，Inverter和Non-Inverter的电费是差不多一样。
2) 如果家里开2架以上的Air-con，用Inverter的电费就像用一架Air-con的电费一样。而用Non-Inverter的电费就会double-up了。
这些，在马来西亚都不会知道，因为都没听过呀。
What is Non Inverter?
The compressor and its motor are manufactured to operate at constant speed or single speed only. In simple terms, it is either in the on (Full Power) or off (No Power) mode.
Therefore for Non Inverter, you will actually feel the air conditioner blowing cold air one moment and normal wind at another.
Due to this operating principle, the electrical consumption is higher and the compressor tends to spoil more easily because of the frequent start-stop. And there is no part load capabilities.
1) Originally, Non Inverter air con uses only one big compressor linking to a few indoor units. Thus no matter how many rooms u use, you are always using the full capacity of the compressor. This is actually very inefficient. For example, the electrical consumption will be the same when using 1 room and 3 rooms.
2) But as technology improved, most of the Non Inverter air conditioners in the market are using 2 compressors. For example, a System 3 will have 1 compressor of 8500 btu and the other at 12000 btu. The 8500 btu will be connected to 1 indoor unit while the 12000 btu will be connected to 2 indoor units. Therefore when operating 1 room, you will be using only 1 compressor.
** If you are using the 2 indoor units that are connected to the 12000 btu compressor, you will only get max 6000 btu each. **
3) May it be new or old, as long as it is a Non Inverter, you will get the 'cut in' and 'cut out' of the compressor. In other words, every time the room reaches the pre-set temperature, the compressor will stop working. And when it senses an increase in temperature, it will start running again. Thus through out the night, you will experience the 'start and stop' of the compressor. In addition to that, the temperature will fluctuate as the indoor unit changes from 'COOL' to 'FAN' mode according to the 'start - stop' of the compressors.
4) Due to the frequently start-stop of the compressor, more electricity will be consumed as more power is needed to start the system all over again whenever it stopped. In addition, the compressor will also have a shorter life span.
5) Most Non Inverter Multi Split Systems have 'standard' combinations. For example, Sys 3 will be 9+9+9. When you required other combinations, you usually have to pay more as it may require a high capacity outdoor unit. And the largest indoor unit capacity for Multi Split System is 12k btu.
** For some brands, the largest can be 18k but usually it requires a higher capacity of compressor. The compressor capacity should never be smaller than the highest indoor unit capacity individual **
So why not just have the Inverter and phase out the Non Inverter?Price is the main reason. The difference can range from $600 to $800. Therefore for owners that do not have a habit of using air conditioner every night, it may be more worthwhile getting a Non Inverter air conditioner.
But do consider the following factors before making the final decision
a) the Electrical Tariffs might rise in the future.
b) your air conditioning usage might increase when your family gets more members.
c) you may be so used to sleeping in an air conditioned environment thus it becomes a habit even when it is raining outside.
d) the air conditioner might last longer than 5 years.
** These do not apply to those who have too much money and dun know where to spend **
What is an Inverter?
It is a power conversion circuit that is able to regulate the current, voltage and frequency of a device
Then what is an Inverter Air Conditioner?
This circuit board is able to vary the frequency of the motor which in turn control the revolution of the compressor. Therefore the compressor speed can be adjust to meet the cooling load necessary. And with continuous, precise and fast feedback process, changes in cooling load will be respond effectively thus minimising temperature fluctuation.
So how does an inverter saves electrical bills?This is because of its part load capabilities. After an inverter air conditioner attains the set temperature, instead of 'switching off' like a non inverter, it uses the minimum power to ensure your room is maintain at the required temperature and adjust smoothly with response to any changes in the cooling load. Overall, you use less electricity.
But an Inverter air con costs more than a Non Inverter. Then why should I get an Inverter instead of a Non Inverter?1) Because an Inverter is more energy efficient. Strictly speaking, you should calculate the 'breakeven period' or 'simple payback period'. If it falls within 5 years, then it will more economical to purchase an Inverter now.
2) When you lived in an old HDB with 8.5amp or 11amp current limit. But you want to install a System 4 for 3 bedrooms and 1 living. But a System 4 usually runs at a current of 11amp and above. According to HDB regulations, you cannot install more than 1 outdoor unit or any outdoor unit having a running ampere of more than 8.5 or 11.
Therefore the only solution is to go for an inverter with variable current settings.
3) When you want a special combination like 15K+12K+9K. Only inverter allows you to choose the indoor unit combination freely.
4) When you cannot stand the outdoor unit noise level. Go get an inverter QUICK! Inverters are generally quieter in terms of outdoor unit than Non Inverters.
5) When you do not like anything that is using older technology. Tech Savy!!!!
Summary of Inverter Air Conditioners1) Are generally of higher quality especially those using R410A refrigerant.
2) Has longer compressor life span.
3) Are very much quiet.
4) Will reduce your electrical consumption especially when using for long periods.

Singapore Flyer
摩天轮 - 到Singapore Flyer。
一人SGD29.50，蛮贵的哟，但是这2张是免费的咯。
谢谢朋友(美华)给的free ticket ^O^
20111029,下午5点多到Promenade Station(Direction-Map)。
那时看到人山人海。
原来Singapore Flyer附近有Activity。
还没入门前拍了这辆“A6”。
那儿知道这么刚巧他们等下乘坐的就是这辆，嘻嘻。
Journey of Dreams ~ By Singapore Flyer
大概6点就给了票，入门了。
没想到里面是拍长龙的，也难以相信这么多人来做摩天轮。
大概等了半小时，他们才成功坐上摩天轮。
一辆包厢应该可以载20个人吧。
他们坐的那辆包厢有韩国人，印度人，外国人。。。
开始了。。。
在半空中了，看下去，好多人。
看到风景了。
Marina Bay Sands Hotel。
夕阳刚要来临。
在空中了。
下面的人像蚂蚁那么小了。
哦，隔壁的包厢是没人的。
这个应该大家的目的吧 - 看新加坡全景。
with wide lense。
Again - Marina Bay Sands Hotel。
包厢内。
哦，天暗了。
这么快绕了一圈，半小时过了。
结束。
离开Singapore Flyer时大概7点出，那是排队上Singapore Flyer的人是排队排到看不到尽头的，难以相信。
老公的感言是来一次就好，其实没什么好看的，哈哈。
怀着宝宝的第27周的她与老公 ^O^

Lunch@Peperoni Pizzaria(Singapore)
没有回马来西亚的时候就是烦想今天吃什么好呢?
所以有时看到网上有卖吃的Coupon都会注意一下。
让Weekend有在新城的话就不用烦吃什么了。
在某一天，想吃Pizza的情况下，又看到有Pizza的Groupon。
哈，当然不放过。买了2个12inch的Pizza。
本来一个是卖SGD23，现在才SGD9.80一个，怎么不买的?
3人(与他妹妹)吃2个12inch的Pizza，还担心吃不完。
但因为薄皮又好吃，2个12inch的Pizza是没问题的啦。
前几天做了reservation。
今天就在Bedok Interchange搭32号巴士到Frankel Ave。
下巴士站，后面就是Peperoni Pizzaria了。
外边看起来还以为没人。
但一开门，哇，里头已经有很多人了。
而且陆陆续续来了很多人，很快的就满作了。
幸好有做reservation ^^
看了一下menu，就订了Suprema Pizza和Salmon Pizza。
哇塞，还有21inch,XXL的Pizza， SGD50。
超大的吧。
上Pizza还蛮快的喔。
Salmon Pizza - Fresh Salmon, caramelised onions and capers。
每一片都有Salmon的肉，不错。
Suprema Pizza - Shitake mushroom, chicken sausage,onions and red chilli。
比较好吃，有点辣辣的。
吃Pizza一定要加的配料。
Hm。。。好满意的一个午餐哦。
~满足~ 嘻嘻 ^^
Peperoni Pizzeria
95 Frankel Avenue
Singapore 458221
Operating hours:
Monday to Saturday: 12pm - 10.30pm
Sunday: 11am - 10.30pm
Reviews:
"At our sampling, we received our 12-inch pizzas in 10 minutes flat, the crust still crisp and slightly blackened though the centre sagged a little from the weight of the toppings. With the option to have two toppings on each pizza, we happily indulged in the vegetarian combination of four cheeses and wild mushrooms, and another porky combination of proscuitto crudo and saucisson with bell peppers. All four pizza flavours stood out for their fragrance and freshness of the ingredients, especially the saucisson with bell peppers, which packed robust colour with red and green bell peppers and sweet sautéed onions and whole roasted garlic on top." - Asia Tatler Dining
"With a crust only 3 mm thin, satisfy your pizza craving without busting your diet. Try a veggie pizza with a great mix of zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, bell peppers, artichokes and black olives." - Supermodelme
"Nothing else on the menu beats the awesome pizza though. Anyone who likes Italian cuisine should try Peperoni, at least for the novelty. The fragrant cheese on pizza that melts in your mouth, oooh." - clamourr, OpenRice User
